Megyn Kelly has been put on legal notice by Don Lemon after the conservative talk show host invited Dustin Hice, a man who made sexual harassment accusations against Lemon, onto her SiriusXM radio show.
“You permitted Mr. Hice’s statements to go unchallenged during your broadcast, clearly out of a vendetta you have against Mr. Lemon,” read a letter from Lemon’s attorney, Caroline J. Polisi, obtained by Radar Online.
The complaint also accused Kelly of allowing listeners to be fed a “lopsided and inaccurate” story about what occurred between Hice and Lemon.
Hice accused the CNN host of sexually assaulting him in Sag Harbor during the summer of 2018. Hice filed a lawsuit a year later and said that he has suffered “feelings of shame, humiliation, anxiety, anger, and guilt.”
“He has his hand in his pants rubbing himself aggressively, and he shoved his two fingers up underneath my mustache.”

According to the legal complaint, Hice falsely stated that he was offered $500K to settle the battery lawsuit. Lemon’s lawyer said that they offered a “nuisance” amount of $8K and Hice “demanded” $1.5 million in exchange for not going public with the claim.
Lemon’s lawyer also accused Hice of bribing a witness and distorting what happened.
“Mr. Lemon has presented evidence of Mr. Hice offering to bribe a witness and that he intentionally destroyed and withheld material evidence that both is directly relevant to his purported claims and that severely undermines his credibility,” she wrote in the letter.
The incident occurred before Lemon announced his engagement to his partner, Tim Malone.
