MSNBC's Joy Reid sorry for 'hateful' blogs she does not believe she wroteThe MSNBC host Joy Reid, under fire for allegedly using homophobic language in old blogposts, apologized on Saturday for any comments that belittled or mocked the LGBT community and said she had not been able to verify her claim her account was hacked. But she was unable to explain blogposts from a decade ago that mocked gay people and individuals who were allegedly gay. Reid has denied posting the remarks but said she had hired security experts found no proof she had been hacked. “I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things because they are completely alien to me,” she said. She reiterated that on Saturday but acknowledged she has made hateful comments and has hopefully “grown as a person”.
