Melissa Harris-Perry Is Not Leaving MSNBC Quietly — Here's the Message She Sent to Black Hosts and Network
March 02, 2016
"Ya'll keep making great cable again."
Former MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry took to Twitter Tuesday to blast her former employer, firing off a series of tweets directed at the cable network following her departure.
In one tweet, she issued an apology to other network hosts and contributors, saying she's sorry for not speaking up before now, citing a "culture of fear" as the reason.
A few apologies: @MartinBashir @Toure @finneyk I am sorry for and ashamed of my earlier silence. I gave into to culture of fear at #msnbc

She later called out two network executives for allegedly leaking an email she sent them, in which she stated her intention to leave her weekend show.
Note to @YvetteMiley & Phil if I cc u on email Tue & it's leaked to press on Friday maybe I'm not the unpredictable one. #GetYourLeaksPhil

But she didn't stop there.
Harris-Perry then accused the network of "salary inequity" and pointed out that she never took a non-disclosure payoff, which would have prevented her from making such statements.
One of the unintended consequences of salary inequity-- harder to get us to take one of those non-disclosure payoffs huh? #freedomovermoney

Harris-Perry said that hosting her show, "Melissa Harris-Perry," was "one of the greatest joys of my professional life." She then left the liberal cable network with one last message.
"So #MSNBC y'all keep making cable great again. I'll be staying challenging & unpredictable," she tweeted.
