From Discussion to Destruction: Joy Reid and ‘Thirsty’ Piers Morgan’s Heated Face-off Goes Viral! | WATCH
Joy Reid says Piers Morgan set her up in surprise attack
*On July 16, 2025, Joy Reid appeared on *Piers Morgan Uncensored* expecting a civil political discussion. Instead, she walked into a verbal ambush that has everyone talking.
The former MSNBC host believed she’d be discussing her new YouTube project, *The Joy Reid Show*, Donald Trump’s policies, and other timely topics. That’s what Morgan’s team promised—allegedly.
Things went left fast: race, controversy, and gotcha moments
Rather than sticking to politics, Morgan dug deep into Reid’s past. He brought up old controversies, including 2018 homophobic blog posts, and accused her of stoking racial division.
Reid wasn’t having it. She later called Morgan a “thirsty little troll” obsessed with race and desperate for attention from his “very White audience.”
Reid hits back on her own show before the interview even airs
Before the full interview even dropped, Reid took to her own YouTube show with a clapback. She said Morgan misled her and turned the appearance into a race-baiting spectacle.
She also accused Morgan of using pre-edited clips and cherry-picked old content to discredit her. “It was a setup, plain and simple,” Reid told her viewers.
Piers Morgan fires back online with teaser clips
Never one to stay quiet, Morgan posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the interview “did not go well” for Reid. He shared snippets where he grilled her on several issues.
- Her support for LGBTQ rights vs. her past blog posts
- Her claims about Trump vs. Obama deportation numbers
- Allegations of racial bias in her MSNBC departure
He defended the interview, claiming any seasoned journalist should expect “tough questions.”
“It was YOUR schtick… people got bored with it!”

The segment, which aired on July 17, reignited conversations about race in media, journalistic fairness, and what’s considered a legitimate interview tactic.
