Allegation of Misogyny

In December 2022, Lemon was involved in an onscreen argument with co-anchors Collins and Harlow over the pay inequity in women's sports. Lemon argued that "people are more interested in the men". In defending his stance, he stated that he could not be sexist because he had grown up as the only male in a family of all women.

On February 19, 2023, after Nikki Haley called for "mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old"; Lemon said "this whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable, I think it is the wrong road to go down", before continuing "She says people, you know, politicians or something are not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn't in her prime, sorry. A woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s". His remarks were criticized online as sexist; Lemon later apologized, and did not appear on CNN This Morning on February 20;[42] he returned on February 22.

In April 2023, Variety published a report alleging that Lemon had a history of misogynistic behavior towards his colleagues, including Soledad O'Brien, Kyra Phillips and Nancy Grace, dating back to 2008. This reportedly included questioning whether O'Brien was black, threatening Phillips, and mocking Grace. A spokesperson for Lemon denied the allegations, saying, "The story, which is riddled with patently false anecdotes and no concrete evidence, is entirely based on unsourced, unsubstantiated, 15-year-old anonymous gossip."
