Joy Reid, the former MSNBC anchor known for her candid commentary, was recently seen wiping tears from her eyes and expressing her belief that her work “had value” following the cancellation of her show, “The ReidOut.” This emotional moment occurred during a Zoom call where Reid discussed her departure from the network.

In the call, Reid became visibly emotional, stating, “I try not to cry on TV, and I think [this Zoom call] is kind of like me on TV, so I apologize.” She expressed feelings of anger, disappointment, and guilt over the cancellation, particularly concerning the impact on her team.

Reid’s departure is part of a broader restructuring at MSNBC under new president Rebecca Kutler. The network has announced plans to replace “The ReidOut” with a new show featuring anchors Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez.

Despite the challenges, Reid remains resolute, stating, “I’m not sorry I went hard at Trump.” She emphasized her commitment to addressing critical issues, including race and social justice, and expressed gratitude for the support from her team and viewers.

Reid’s emotional response highlights the personal impact of professional changes and underscores her dedication to the topics she has passionately covered throughout her career.
