The host says she doesn't think she wrote the posts, but admits they don't seem to have been hacked. On Saturday morning, five days after Joy Reid was accused of authoring a series of homophobic blog posts that were unearthed by a Twitter user, the MSNBC host apologized for the controversy, but said that she still doesn't think she wrote the posts in question.
"Here's what I know: I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things," she said on AM Joy. "But I can definitely understand, based on things I have said and have written in the past, that some people don't believe me."
On Monday, when Mediaite asked Reid about the blog posts, she said, "An unknown, external party accessed and manipulated material from my now-defunct blog." On Wednesday night, her lawyer confirmed that the FBI was investigating "potential criminal activities surrounding several online accounts" belonging to Reid.
But, on Saturday, Reid admitted that the posts don't appear to have been the result of hacking or tampering.
"When a friend found them in December and sent them to me, I was stunned," she said. "Frankly, I couldn't imagine where they'd come from or whose voice this was. The reality is they have not been able to prove it."
To further get across the message, Reid convened a panel of gay-rights advocates to discuss the controversy.
While she didn't take credit for the blog posts, she admitted that she's written and tweeted hurtful, anti-gay things in the past, and she pledged to do better. "I looked back on some of the ways I've talked casually about sexual gender and orientation, and I wonder who that even was," she said.
Reid continued: "I'm heartbroken that I didn't do better back then. The reality is I have to own the things I've written and tweeted and said."
Now that Reid has admitted that she doesn't appear to have been hacked, it's unclear what will happen to the FBI investigation into the matter.
That’s okay. The same level of dodginess is what we expect from everyone in the MSM.
So, no big deal.
The Library of Congress must be racist then, huh stupid?
She's lying. She knows she wrote it.
The Library of Congress archived Reid's now-defunct blog post on January 14th, 2007 at 06:52 AM ET. If Reid's website was indeed hacked as she now claims, the hacker would've had to target her site over a decade ago.
I don’t think anything will come of it, but she could be even more miserable: making a false report to the FBI, I seem to recall, is a crime
Joy, joy, never say anything opposing the butt rimmers. It’s hate speech.
Joy Reid, Jimmy Comey, B-HO... All just innocent bystanders.
Right. Gay trumps all. Homos are sacred.
It’s a white thing, Joy, your covered.
so it was your evil twin JOYLESS reid did it then... is that it?
Here in the real world, ..... YOU DID.
Guilty. Guilty, guilty, guilty.

In 6 or 9 months the Mueller investigation will report it was “probably” Russians that “hacked” Reid’s blog.
Well, Joy baby, you are either psychotic or a binge-drinker. Get help.
Is there ANY white person, male or female, who would not have been fired by now?
She gets a pass. She keeps her job. She continues to lie.
That’s just how liberals roll.
George Constanza: It’s not a lie, if you believe it.
For once, Joy stumbled on the truth.
The hate-filled, dishonest LIBtard is suffering selective amnesia.
Yes, the Joy Reid Doppelgänger wrote that stuff. Damn him!!
Covering for the lib.
She’s a liar, but keep in mind also that with the Left, the goalposts are always moving. What wasn’t considered “hurtful” 5 years ago, is now an obsession for the mind control freaks of today.
