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?

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

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

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.

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