MSNBC's Joy Reid threatened violence, was homophobic, in radio job, ex-bosses say
FOX.NEWS.COM ^ | 6/7/18 | Lukas Mikelionis for FoxNews.com.

MSNBC's Joy Reid physically threatened a senior colleague, accused a Republican politician, then-FLA Gov Charlie Crist, of being gay (calling him Miss Charlie); Reid and often referred to her hate-filled blog during a short-lived stint as a radio show co-host more than a decade ago, former superiors at the station told Fox News.

One described the current host of MSNBC's "AM Joy" as having been an “evil woman” in those days. Reid has recently come under fire for old blog posts in which she made homophobic and anti-Semitic remarks, encouraged people to check out a 9/11 conspiracy-theory documentary that claims the U.S. government carried out the attacks, and shared an image of U.S. Sen. John McCain’s head PhotoShopped onto the body of the 2007 Virginia Tech gunman.

Reid faces fresh questions over her conduct during her brief but “toxic” time as a co-host and producer of “Wake Up South Florida” on radio station WTPS 1080 AM between 2006 and 2007. Andre Eggelletion, former lead host of the morning show with Reid, recently spoke out about her for the first time in more than a decade, saying Reid created “the most toxic work environment I've ever experienced” and threatened him with violence. “It was a very unhealthy work environment because of Reid's attitude. She attacked me on a constant basis while I was there. I was even once threatened with physical violence during a break with her,” he revealed to Fox News.

The incident was corroborated by Lee Michaels, then-national program director for Syndication One, a network of radio stations of Urban One (Radio One back then) that owned WTPS. “It absolutely happened -- 100 percent,” he told Fox News, noting that he had to put in a lot of effort to convince Eggelletion not to quit over Reid’s conduct.

JOE CONCHA TWITTER: New Joy Reid allegations are damaging because they’re on the record. “She attacked me on a constant basis while I was there. I was even once threatened with physical violence during a break with her.” -Andre Eggelletion, former host on WTPS to Fox News.

MIKE CERNOVICH TWITTER: Don’t they teach in journalism school that if someone claims they filed an FBI report, you should ask them for a case file? Has it occurred to anyone in the media to ask NBC for a copy of the report they claim Joy Reid filed? Maybe they don’t want answers.

I hope all of us have heard the term Angry Black Woman Syndrome.

“Aggressive,dominant and masculine” (wikipedia search) began supposedly in slavery days.

Feel sorry for me: I ended up in a university office with TWO of them as co-bosses who used me as a bloodied piñata just before I could retire using an incentive buyout last year. A true story of my survival and God’s help to me.

Probably swings both ways....WIKI says Reid is married to Jason Reid, a documentary film editor for the Discovery Channel. They have three children.

We will just have to get as much mileage out of her being on the air as we can.

I would not be surprised to hear she’s been drunk for the past decade.

I can understand why suicides are way up in this nation. Life gets more and more difficult in each year for sane, freedom loving, patriotic Americans The older I get, the more suicidal thoughts go through my mind.
