EXCLUSIVE - JOY REID READY TO TORCH THE MSNBC

MSNBC is reeling from a seismic shake-up that has unceremoniously booted longtime host Joy Reid – and sources say she’s not going down without a fight!

The controversial 55-year-old anchor, who has been with the network for over a decade, is furious over what she sees as a backstabbing betrayal from the very network she helped build.

“She is livid. She is angry. She knows everything – and she’s ready to burn the house down,” an MSNBC insider exclusively spills.

But what has Reid absolutely seething isn’t just the pink slip – it’s the deafening silence from her so-called allies.

“Almost all ofg them sat back and said NOTHING while this happened. They could have stopped this – but they’re all cowards!” the insider rages.

Sources say that while Reid had her fair share of behind-the-scenes drama at MSNBC, she always believed her friends had her back. But now?

“She wants nothing to do with them anymore. As far as she’s concerned, they’re dead to her,” the source dishes.

Behind the scenes, executives are scrambling to contain the fallout, pushing a non-disclosure agreement in front of Reid to keep her quiet.

But Joy isn’t having it.

“MSNBC wants her to sign an NDA, but that is NEVER going to happen. Joy is already talking to streaming services and even Don Lemon about launching her own independent show,” spills the insider.

Lemon, who was booted from CNN last year in his own scandalous shake-up, has pivoted to a less than seller self-funded media empire. And sources say Reid sees his blueprint as her ticket to freedom.

“She’s got options. And she’s got stories to tell. If MSNBC thinks they can erase her, they’re in for a rude awakening.”

With more heads expected to roll in the coming weeks, insiders say MSNBC is bracing for impact – and Joy Reid isn’t done talking!

“If they think they are going to silence her, they better think again,” the source reveals.
