Ex-MSNBC host Tiffany Cross learned that she was getting pushed out days ahead of her exit — and threatened to “go out in a blaze” and “take down” the cable-TV network and its boss Rashida Jones, The Post has learned.

The controversial anchor — whose weekend show “The Cross Connection” was abruptly canceled earlier this month as MSNBC elected not to renew her contract, according to sources — began frantically calling other journalists, media executives and social activists a week before her ouster in a bid to rally support, a source with knowledge said.

“She made calls saying: ‘I’m going out in a blaze and I’m taking down the network and going after Rashida,'” a source close to the situation said, paraphrasing Cross.

Are they talking about the actress Rashida Jones or a different Rashida Jones?

“I can’t build it, but she can wreck it.”

Failure at that too.

>>“She made calls saying: ‘I’m going out in a blaze and I’m taking down the network and going after Rashida,’”

How is this supposed to “rally support”?
Why would anyone support such a bomb-thrower when she probably got a good severance package?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

She probably imagines she was "disrespected". Mighty uppity of her.

This is what the incompetent do.

Oh, Tiffani Cross is vindictive? whooda thunk?

[BookmanTheJanitor]

I’m going out in a blaze and I’m taking down the network and going after Rashida,

Still can...go for it, Tiffany.

[dynachrome]

Go for it Tiffy!

[Rummyfan]

LOL! If she took down the network, who would even notice?

[xp38]

Well she would have had a pretty large cheering section here at FR.

When you are called to own-up to your failure, you cannot imagine that you are a pathetic example of racial privilege and that you have no talent, you are a dismal failure.

nothing stopping you

[nickcarraway]

It seems like something did stop her. Maybe some common sense about her future career?

[Chode]

i mean she can still spill her guts...

[FlingWingFlyer]

They need to give Tiffy her own corner in New Yawk City. Racist pig.

[virgil]

MSNBC deserves to be taken down.

[ealgeone]

For the less than 100k people who watched her....
