The wife of NFL running back Raheem Mostert criticized the Grammy Awards and Hollywood for applauding Don Lemon following his arrest for an incident at a Minnesota church last month.
Devon Mostert shared a video of Alex Warren’s performance at Sunday night’s ceremony and wrote on his Instagram Stories that it was a shame the singer-songwriter had to perform in front of the same crowd.

“It’s unfortunate that he had to perform for an audience that also gave Don Lemon a standing ovation for storming a Christian church to ‘protest ICE,’ impeding the right to religious freedom and interfering with the exercise of religious freedom in a place of worship,” he wrote in a post.
“The HYPOCRISY of the Grammys and Hollywood is crazy.”
The former CNN anchor was charged with conspiracy to deprive and violating the FACE Act for his role in the anti-ICE protest that disrupted services at a Minnesota church. Lemon was in Los Angeles to cover the Grammy Awards at the time of his arrest.
Lemon was praised at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party on Saturday night and received applause and a standing ovation, according to Page Six. On Sunday she hit the red carpet with her husband Tim Malone and singer Brandi Carlile.

He was released from jail without bail on Friday. He said he was acting as a journalist while prosecutors alleged he coordinated with activists who disrupted the service at Cities Church.
“There is a passage in Scripture that says, ‘The truth will set you free,'” Lemon wrote, quoting John 8:32. “But it doesn’t say it will protect you from cages. It doesn’t say it will spare you the consequences of seeing too clearly. It doesn’t say it will make the powerful feel comfortable.”
Lemon said he learned that lesson “not from theology, but from experience,” and wrote that “the government decided that my work as a journalist was not protected speech, but punishable.”
Lemon compared his arrest to historic efforts to silence journalists and civil rights figures, writing that freedom of the press only exists as long as it does not challenge those in power.

He wrote that America “loves the idea of a free press,” but only as long as journalism does not “disrupt convenience” or “expose what power would rather conceal,” saying that the First Amendment exists to protect responsibility, not convenience.
