After her recent firing from MSNBC, Joy Reid has broken her silence in a heartfelt Zoom call with the podcast “Win With Black Women.” In the emotional 10-minute conversation, Reid expressed a range of emotions including anger, disappointment, guilt, and gratitude. She made it clear that she is “not sorry” for her strong stance on various issues during her time at the network.
Reid has faced criticism for her comments about white people, including references to “white tears” and a statement about white women not supporting former Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite facing backlash, Reid defended her actions and highlighted the importance of standing up for marginalized communities.
Throughout her tenure on “The ReidOut,” Reid covered a wide range of topics including Black Lives Matter, the targeting of Asian Americans, events in Gaza, and immigration. She emphasized the value of her show and the impact it had in shedding light on important issues.
Following her firing, Reid was seen leaving her Maryland home wearing a fur-like coat and a green baseball cap. The move was part of a larger restructuring at MSNBC, which also saw other anchors like Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang, and Jonathan Capehart lose their shows.
The network’s new president, Rebecca Kutler, is making changes as she settles into her role after the departure of Rashida Jones. Reid’s departure marks the end of a chapter for the anchor, but her dedication to advocating for social justice and marginalized communities remains unwavering. Despite the challenges she has faced, Reid’s resilience and commitment to her beliefs shine through in her response to the recent events.
