CNN’s Don Lemon Demonstrates How Not to Interview Someone About Sexual Assault

Screen Shot 2014-11-19 at 10.56.37 AMLast night, CNN’s Don Lemon sat down for what turned into a super uncomfortable interview with Joan Tarshis, the woman who recently accused Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting her 45 years ago.

The moment got weird when Lemon awkwardly asked why she hadn’t thought to stop the alleged sexual assault from happening by biting the comedian.

“You know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you didn’t want to do it,” Lemon said.

Hmm, okay… Thanks for the advice, Don!
