Megyn Kelly: I Don't Believe For One Second That Don Lemon Didn't Pay His Accuser to Go Away

Two weeks ago, the man that Don Lemon allegedly assaulted in a grossly sexual way, Dustin Hice, dropped his lawsuit after, supposedly, searching his memory and realizing that he had misremembered everything.

Almost three years after CNN anchor Don Lemon was accused of assaulting a man in a Sag Harbor, NY, bar in 2018, the incendiary lawsuit has ended in a whimper.

"After a lot of inner reflection and a deep dive into my memory, I have come to realize that my recollection of the events that occurred on the night in question when I first met CNN anchor Don Lemon were not what I thought they were when I filed this lawsuit," said Dustin Hice in a full on retreat from his allegations of the assault and subsequent emotional distress against the CNN anchor in court and on conservative media. "As a result, I am dropping the case," the short statement sent out by attorney Robert Barnes for Hice concluded.

Lemon's attorney claims that neither Lemon nor his "representatives" paid him off.

So when I read that my first reaction was: "This is completely bullshit; of course he was paid off, and paid off extra to issue this denial."

But I didn't have proof of that.

Well I still don't have proof of that but Megyn Kelly agrees: This is bullshit. There is no reason to give up the case without some kind of settlement.

There is an unacknowledged payout here. Kelly notes that the lawyer does not deny that Lemon's insurer could have made a payment.

But what would it matter if she were asked about that? She'd lie.
