Weeks before the case was set the go to trial, the man who accused Don Lemon of sexual assault is changing his story. Or rather, he’s suggesting the story never happened in the first place.New Jersey bartender Dustin Hice dropped his sexual assault lawsuit against the CNN anchor yesterday, saying that “after a lot of inner reflection and a deep dive into my memory” he realized he actually got the whole thing wrong.In a statement, Hice said his “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.”Hice alleged that Lemon approached him in 2019 and “vigorously rubbed his [Lemon’s] genitalia, removed his hand and shoved his index and middle fingers in Plaintiff’s moustache and under Plaintiff’s nose.”He reportedly wanted $1.5 million from the CNN anchor.After Hice announced he was dropping the case, Lemon’s attorney released a statement calling the whole thing “a crass money grab from its inception.”“This has been a long and difficult journey for Don.

Don Bachardy was just 18 years old when he met Christopher Isherwood, the author best known for A Single Man and The Berlin Stories, which was turned into the musical, Cabaret. Isherwood was 48, yet despite the age difference, despite how rare it was to be an openly queer couple in the 1950s, the two remained together for the next 33-years until Isherwood's death. "We were both extraordinary," Bachardy says. "Looking back over those years with Chris, I was extraordinary. And the better I knew him, the more extraordinary I became."Now in his 80s, Bachardy has gone on to become of the most respected portrait artists of our time.He joined the LGBTQ&A podcast at his home studio in Calfornia to talk about how radical his relationship with Isherwood was considered, HIV, his art, and the experience of being an out gay couple in the 50s and 60s.You can listen to the full interview on Apple Podcasts or read excerpts below. JM: The age difference aside, what I find so fascinating is that you and Christopher were an openly gay couple in the '50s.DB: Yes.

After nearly three years of claiming that Don Lemon assaulted him, Dustin Hice has dropped his case against the CNN anchor, claiming to have misremembered the night's events.

Just days after the pandemic made landfall in New York City in the spring of 2020 — and right as the city streets became ghostly reminders of what was — I began to run every morning. I’d run down the West Side Highway as the sun slowly crawled across Manhattan from the East River. I’d run through the empty avenues that dice up the West Village, passing bars and restaurants I used to get too drunk in.

We were thoroughly impressed with Jackie Sibblies Drury’s Fairview, the Pulitzer-prize winning drama which played at the Young Vic in 2019, so we were very excited to see she had a new play opening in London this spring.
