Piers Morgan accuses Joy Reid of playing ‘race card' in heated exchange over MSNBC firing

Joy Reid and Piers Morgan had a heated exchange on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' Thursday when the host disputed her claim that she was fired from MSNBC for being a Black woman. 'Joy, I mean, let's be honest. I don't think you were fired after all those years because of your skin color or because you're a Black woman. I think you were fired because your show just got increasingly unpopular,' Morgan said. Advertisement Reid's MSNBC show 'The ReidOut' was canceled in February as part of a larger shakeup at the network. Her show had struggled to attract ratings, averaging only 973,000 total viewers in February 2025 compared to 1.3 million during the same month in 2024, marking a 28% decline. Reid has maintained that her show suffered smaller declines than other MSNBC shows, and she didn't understand the reason for the cancellation. When Morgan asked why she was playing 'the race card' instead of acknowledging that rating struggles were behind her cancellation, an incensed Reid shot back at Morgan that he was 'fixated on trying to racialize conversations.' 'I love the fact that your 'play the race card' is your version of the race card. You literally are so fixated on trying to racialize conversations with me, Piers, I actually find it quite charming,' Reid said before she was cut off.

Joy Reid accuses ‘cheap, sleazy' Piers Morgan of ambushing her in new interview

Advertisement Former MSNBC host Joy Reid accused Piers Morgan on Wednesday of ambushing her in a new interview and said the British media host was 'obsessed' with race baiting for his 'very white audience.' On her podcast, 'The Joy Reid Show,' Reid laid into Morgan after she was soured by her experience as a guest commentator on 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' the day before. Before the contentious interview was set to air on Thursday afternoon, Reid went on the offensive, accusing Morgan of 'luring' her onto his show under the false premise that they would discuss her new YouTube show and the politics of the day. Instead, she said, his team had compiled pre-edited clips, dredged up past controversies, and confronted her with accusations that she was a race baiter. Advertisement 'The interview, which drops [Thursday], was a cheap, sleazy, very Piers Morgan pivot to take the heat off of the right and Trump and put it right where the right needs to be, on the Black lady,' Reid claimed. 4 Joy Reid speaks during the 2024 ESSENCE Festival Of Culture⢠Presented By Coca-Cola® at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on July 07, 2024 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Getty Images for ESSENCE Reid said she believed it was important to talk to people on the other side. But she claimed that Morgan's team 'lured' her onto the show with the idea they were going to have a fair discussion about President Donald Trump's policies and other news, as well as her new media show. Reid shared a screenshot of an email as evidence of this. While she said she didn't expect Morgan to strictly stay on those topics, she also didn't expect the host to bring up her controversial blog posts from over 15 years ago or to ask her to respond in real-time to a conservative commentator who allegedly accused her of stoking racial hatred while she was at MSNBC.

'He never misses an opportunity to play gotcha with Black guests on his podcast, whom he, like other right-wing podcasters, use as fodder to keep their very White audiences angry and paranoid and clicking.' In 2017, Reid's resurfaced blog posts from 2007-2009 containing offensive homophobic remarks and anti-gay jokes made headlines. Advertisement Reid apologized at the time, although she also claimed hackers had placed the offending remarks on her old blog but later admitted she had no evidence that happened. 'Dredging up an eight-year-old story about a 16-year-old blog post is a hell of a way to justify insanely offensive Nazi quoting things that your boy Donald Trump said and fascist actions his regime took like yesterday,' Reid reacted. 'Is that what your show has come to, Piers? Dredging up old news in an effort to make yourself relevant?' Reid claimed Morgan was 'obsessed' with race and that he was forced out of his 'Good Morning Britain' television gig over his 'relentless, endless obsessive hatred of Megan Markle.' 4 Piers Morgan leaves BBC Broadcasting House in London, after appearing on the BBC One current affairs program with Laura Kuenssberg.

Her guest, Nina Turner, a former Ohio state lawmaker who co-chaired the 2020 presidential run of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was also a guest on the same episode of 'Piers Morgan Uncensored.'

Morgan's representatives referred Fox News Digital to his social media comments and said he would address the controversy on his upcoming show.

‘There was no warning': Joy Reid is speaking out about how she was fired from MSNBC

Surprised that Joy Reid was pulled off the air back in February? So was she. The former MSNBC anchor is speaking out about how she found out that her show 'The ReidOut' was, poof, gone. During a new interview on 'The Breakfast Club' with Charlemagne tha God, Jess Hilarious and guest host Lauren Larosa, Reid reveals that her bosses reassured that her numbers were adequate just two weeks before the ax came down. 'They were like, 'You guys lost less than your competitors, and you're actually doing fine,'' the ex host said, adding, 'The ratings have not gotten better since I left. So it wasn't numbers.' Reid, a former Miami Herald columnist, didn't initially find out that she no longer had the gig from network honchos, but from a news article. The Feb. 22 Puck News 'scoop' rumored her primetime show was 'vulnerable.' Early the next morning, management texted her that they needed to talk to her at noon. Hours later, she was unemployed. 'I was fired immediately, there was no warning,' said the Emmy nominee. 'They said, 'Oh, like, we just want to make some changes.'' Among the other talent let go in the MSNBC bloodbath: Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart and Ayman Mohyeldin. Reid said she believes discussing 'uncomfortable' topics like Gaza and Donald Trump (because he is 'suing everybody') may have contributed to the decision to let her go. 'Joy Reid is leaving the network and we thank her for her countless contributions over the years,' MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler wrote to staff upon the cancellation of 'The ReidOut,' adding that the nightly program had recently received an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding News Series. Soon after the pundit's firing went viral, the mother of three called in to 'Win With Black Women' podcast. 'I've been through every emotion from, you know, anger, rage, disappointment ... guilt, that I let my team lose their jobs,' Reid said, tearing up. 'But in the end, where I really land, and where I've landed on today is just gratitude. Not just because people would take the time to get on a call like this or to take care of me. But also that my show had value.'
