Don Lemon Glided Right Past Michelle Yeoh’s Apparent Oscar-Speech Shade While Summing Up The Ceremony

Michelle Yeoh dropped some shade during her Oscars acceptance speech that many saw as a not-so-subtle swipe at Don Lemon. The CNN anchor has been in hot water ever since his remarks about former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley not being in “her prime” because of her age. Lemon was temporarily taken off the air following his comments on Haley, but it appears that Yeoh was aware of the fiasco.

While accepting the award for Best Actress for Everything Everywhere All At Once, Yeoh said, “Ladies, don’t let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime.” The line blew up on Twitter as people speculated that she was taking a direct shot at Lemon.
