Don Lemon calls out celebrities for 'sitting in your mansions and doing nothing' amid protests - Entertainment Weekly

The CNN anchor also mentioned Oprah, Tyler Perry, Ellen DeGeneres, and more celebrities by name, to encourage them to do more.

Later on the show, he encouraged specific A-listers like Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, and Tyler Perry to take more action.

“A lot of people I ask to come on this show, to talk about this, [such as] wealthy celebrities, wealthy political people, [say], ‘I can’t do it.

Why aren’t you fighting for these young people?

While he noted some celebrities expressed their outrage on Twitter, the journalist said it was not enough and that Hollywood has been "strangely quiet." He also advocated for celebrities to do more for the many young people who have taken to the streets, who are "standing on a platform at the edge of the abyss by themselves.".

He then named A-listers that he wanted to see do more — not just give money, but also publicly support young people so they know that those who have made it "have their backs.".

I want to see you Tyler Perry.

I want to see you Drake," Lemon continued.
