Don Lemon revealed he's a survivor after being axed from CNN after nearly 20 years and said he “owns” his actions and lives life with no regrets. Lemon was fired from the network on Monday - the same day Fox News star Tucker Carlson was also let go. Lemon told Extra TV on a Time 100 gala red carpet that that he doesn't regret the actions that allegedly led to his departure from CNN. “I live my life with no regrets. I did what I did and I own it, and so no, I don't look back and I don't want to change things in the past,” he said. “There are lots of things that come your way that are unexpected, but I'm a survivor. I come from strong, sturdy stock in Louisiana and a lot of people are rooting for me and who love me. Life goes on. That’s behind me and we’ll see what happens in the future.”
