Joy Reid, Piers Morgan Interview Sparks Major Fallout

An explosive interview between Joy Reid and Piers Morgan generated controversy after Morgan confronted Reid about her past homophobic blog posts and claimed her firing from MSNBC was due to poor ratings rather than race. The discussion became heated as both accused each other of focusing excessively on race and misrepresenting the interview's intended topics. Reid said she was ambushed and accused Morgan of using racial issues to provoke his largely White audience, while Morgan pressed her for consistent criticism of immigration policies under Presidents Obama and Trump. Both hosts publicly criticized each other before the interview's release, with Reid calling it a 'race-baiting ambush' and Morgan claiming Reid did not fare well. The exchange underscored ongoing debates about race, media framing, and accountability. The interview was scheduled to air at 3pm ET on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
