Don Lemon had a long career as an anchorman for CNN, but was let go in 2023 following a series of controversial on-air moments. Elon Musk subsequently approached him to host a show on X (formerly known as Twitter), believing Lemon could reach a broader audience. As part of this, Musk agreed to an unrestricted interview with Lemon. However, Musk reportedly declined to answer certain questions focused on accountability. Shortly thereafter, Lemon's agent received notice that his show contract was terminated.
Lemon plans to premiere his interview with Musk on March 18th on both X and YouTube.
A Black former employee, Samiyah Gaddy (@Miylifestyle on TikTok), went viral after sharing her unpleasant experiences working at EBIN New York, a hair and beauty product company specializing in Black hair care. In a four-part video series, Gaddy detailed her time as the company's only Black employee, describing feelings of ostracization and instances where her Korean colleagues held side conversations in their native language. She even recounted a troubling work trip to Atlanta where the hotel booked for her was unacceptably unclean.
Social media users found Gaddy's story particularly disturbing given that most of EBIN New York's corporate staff, including CEO John Park, are Korean. This led to widespread online support for Gaddy and calls to boycott the brand. Additionally, other ex-employees have come forward with similar accounts of their experiences.
