This site says Joy Reid NOT fired. NBC in process of negotiating her contract.

I've never heard of "BOSSIP" so take what you read there with a grain of salt. But I am relieved and hopeful Joy will still be around. We need her voice!

“We are in the middle of a standard renegotiation and we absolutely want to re-sign Joy,” the rep confirmed to BOSSIP. “She’s a critical member of the team who provides top notch analysis and unique perspective.”

Won't be back at msnbc. It seems weird that they can wrap up some contracts rather quickly but not Joy's
