Joy Reid will be back on air this morning for the first time since reports that she had written homophobic blog posts. She has claimed those posts, from a now defunct site, were manipulated.
We hear Reid will address situation of these old blog posts on her show today
Meanwhile, she’s backing out of hosting a charity event next month. We’d reported that Reid was going to be honored by the Brotherhood/Sister Sol organization, but this morning the group says Reid won’t participate.
“Joy Reid informed Brotherhood/Sister Sol that she has decided to step aside from her role in the organization’s annual charity event in order to make sure the evening’s spotlight stays focused on Bro/Sis’s transformative work and the inspiring young people it serves every day.”
