The man who accused Don Lemon of sexual assault has recanted that accusation and formally dropped his lawsuit.
“After a lot of inner reflection and a deep dive into my memory, I have come to realize that my recollection of the events that occurred on the night in question when I first met CNN anchor Don Lemon were not what I thought they were when I filed this lawsuit. As a result, I am dropping the case,” Dustin Hice said in a statement, provided to TheWrap by his attorneys.
Hice’s recantation comes just over a month after he was ordered to pay $77,000 in attorneys fees after it was determined that Hice destroyed evidence, along with other discrediting information that came to light.
