Who has Martell Holt dated?
Don Lemon’s announcement about his new deal with X, the Elon Musk-owned social media platform, has birthed a wave of congratulatory messages regarding his career pivot. Tucker Carlson was among Lemon’s welcoming committee on X, formerly known as Twitter. Carlson retweeted Lemon’s announcement. “Congratulations. It’s a new world. Welcome,” wrote Carlson. Lemon thanked Carlson, tweeting, “Thanks Tucker,” in response.
However, as several publications have noted, Lemon and Carlson publicly feuded for several years — usually while on the air, according to TMZ. However, the hosts’ tension ran much deeper than a difference of opinion, according to Vanity Fair, which compiled a list of the media personalities’ greatest points of contention, including Carlson purposefully butchering Lemon’s name and downplaying his racial background. Lemon often took Carlson to task over his commentary, which Lemon felt encouraged white supremacist ideology.
Many fans on social media have reacted to the hosts’ likely temporary ceasefire with an influx of humorous takes. “Don lemon and tucker carlson being fired on the same day and then both starting shows on twitter… do u think they’re in a situationship,” tweeted one observer. Another fan tweeted, “I did not have Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson becoming coworkers on my 2024 bingo card.” And they’re probably not the only one!
