Joy Reid Brakes Her Silence After Being Fired

Former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid broke her silence after being fired, expressing no remorse for her strong stance on various issues.

Reid, known for her attacks on white people, including calling them “mentally obnoxious racist,” remained defiant during a Zoom call to the podcast “Win With Black Women.” Emotionally speaking, “Not sorry,” she said. “I’ve been through every emotion from, you know, anger, rage, disappointment … guilt … that I let my team lose their jobs,” she continued.

Despite facing criticism, Reid expressed gratitude for the value her show provided in covering important topics like Black Lives Matter and immigration.


Rachel Maddow criticizes MSNBC for canceling Joy Reid’s show. She also condemned the network’s treatment of staffers facing layoffs amid a programming overhaul. Maddow called the situation “unnerving” and emphasized the importance of supporting coworkers. 

Reid’s firing is claimed to be a part of a broader revamp at MSNBC under new President Rebecca Kutler. “ReidOut” will be replaced by a show co-hosted by Symone Sanders, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez.
