Joy Reid wears fur coat as she leaves $1M home in first photos since MSNBC ouster

Canned MSNBC anchor Joy Reid was spotted wearing a fur-like coat and green baseball as she ducked out of her $1 million Maryland home in exclusive photos taken by The Post shortly after the rabid anti-Trump host was ousted by the embattled network Sunday.

Reid, who has stirred controversy with her comments about “white tears” as well as her contention that white women “did not show up” to vote for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the recent election, was seen accompanied by two other women as she walked toward a blue Subaru outback, according to the photos.

A reportedly fuming Reid has yet to comment about the decision by new MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler to kill her show, “The ReidOut.”

Reid’s show isn’t the only casualty of the shakeup at 30 Rock.

The Post learned on Monday that weekend shows hosted by Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang and Jonathan Capehart were also being cut.

Mohyeldin’s exit was first reported by the Guardian.

The flurry of moves come as parent company Comcast plans to spin off MSNBC and its other cable channels into a new venture called SpinCo.

In January, Rachel Maddow, the MSNBC’s most recognizable anchor, resumed hosting her 9 p.m. show five nights a week for the first 100 days of the Trump administration after previously scaling back to appearing only on Mondays.

MSNBC is reportedly planning to cut Reid’s show “The ReidOut,” which airs nightly starting at 7 p.m. MSNBC

At the time, MSNBC announced that Alex Wagner, who had been anchoring the show the other four days a week, would return at the end of April.

That plan has now changed. MSNBC is preparing to name a new anchor to take over Wagner’s time slot, according to the New York Times, which first reported Reid’s ouster.

A leading contender for the position is Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary under President Biden, who currently hosts programs on Sunday at noon and Monday at 8 p.m.

However, the final decision has not yet been made, the Times reported.

Wagner, who has not publicly commented on the development, is expected to remain at MSNBC as an on-air correspondent.

Puck and Variety were the first to report details of MSNBC’s planned restructuring.

Reid has been one of MSNBC’s most high-profile and controversial anchors. She took over the network’s 7 p.m. hour in 2020 after hosting AM Joy, a weekend political talk show, since 2016.

Her promotion to primetime was one of the earliest programming moves made by Cesar Conde, chairman of NBCUniversal News Group, which oversees NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC, and Telemundo.

In Reid’s place, MSNBC plans to introduce a new program featuring a trio of anchors: Symone Sanders Townsend, a political analyst and former Democratic strategist; Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee; and journalist Alicia Menendez.

The three currently co-host “The Weekend,” a morning show that airs on Saturdays and Sundays.

MSNBC has declined to comment.

The programming overhaul marks the first significant change under Kutler, who took over for Rashida Jones after she left last month.

Kutler has been working on a revised lineup aimed at boosting the network’s ratings, which remain ahead of CNN but continue to trail Fox News, the long-standing leader in cable news.

Fox News is owned by Fox Corp — sister company to The Post’s corporate parent News Corp.
