Is Joy Reid homophobic? (No.)

But let's do a few things. First, as far as the blog posts are concerned, Reid says she did not write them. A security expert says her site was breached. And she's contacted law enforcement. Also, former Salon editor-in-chief Joan Walsh, who previously published Reid's work from her old blog, says "none of us ever saw the kinds of homophobic posts she's now accused of."

"Also, to my knowledge, the offensive posts had no comments on them, while the posts she acknowledges had some lively comments debates," Walsh adds. Others have spoken out in support of her and her work:

We also should look at who's pushing the "Joy Reid is a homophobe" lie:

I have no idea if Joy Reid wrote the blog posts Mediaite supposedly claims she did, and I'm not going to focus on them, as many others have.

But, the credibility of those who are "unearthing" these likely fraudulent blog posts should be questioned at this point, not Reid. She says they're not hers, she was hacked, she has an expert supporting that statement, she contacted law enforcement when she found them, and a well-respected editor familiar with her work says she never saw homophobic posts. At this point the onus is on her accusers to prove their allegations.
