He further stated, “And by the way, tell your husband to stop looking at my husband across the room. It's weird, okay.”
Sources claim ‘attention is exactly what Don and Tim want’
Insiders, however, claimed that Don Lemon’s accusation has not disturbed the 54-year-old political commentator and her novelist husband.
Hollywood insider Rob Shuter, who writes on Substack, citing insiders said that the couple was “laughing” over Lemon’s claim.
“Don thinks everyone is looking at his husband. Look, Tim’s a nice guy, but let’s be honest — it’s not like Don married Brad Pitt. Calm down,” Shuter shared.
The insider also revealed that Kelly and the 53-year-old Brunt are not planning to respond to Lemon because “attention is exactly what Don and Tim want.”
Don Lemon accused of 'needing clicks'
“This is textbook clout-chasing. Don needs clicks. Tim wants exposure. Megyn and Doug see right through it and have zero interest in feeding the circus,” Shuter claimed, citing an insider.
Another tipster added, “It’s gone from political to petty. Now we’re talking about hallway glances and imaginary flirtation. It’s messy, it’s desperate, and it’s beneath all of them.”
Don Lemon called Megyn Kelly the ‘worst person’
This latest clash comes a month after Don Lemon blasted Megyn Kelly after she hailed Joy Reid’s firing from MSNBC.
‘The Megyn Kelly Show’ host had tweeted, “Remember when Joy Reid laughingly mocked ‘white women tears’ as pathetic and offensive to her? Who’s crying now, Joy? Good riddance to the absolute worst person on television, and shame on NBC for letting it go on this long.”

Lemon fired back on his show, saying, as per PEOPLE, “So let me just say to Megyn Kelly, in my 30-some years as a journalist and my 50-some years as a person of color: Go f--- yourself. Okay?”
“The worst person from television was fired from NBC and the Today show a few years ago, and that was Megyn Kelly,” he added.
He later even defended his response by stating that "someone had to stand up."
The former CNN anchor also asserted that Kelly "should be supportive of all women, even a Black woman, even someone as a journalist who she disagrees with."
