Joy Reid's firing from MSNBC leaked to the press before her staff was notified, forcing network chief Rebecca Kutler to call an impromptu meeting filled with "pointed questions" and "raw emotions," media journalist Oliver Darcy reported Sunday.

Rebecca Kutler, the MSNBC president who just took the wheel earlier this month, called a hasty virtual meeting with staffers on Joy Reid's show, The ReidOut, after news of the program's cancellation leaked to the media -- and an audio recording of that meeting was then leaked.

Rachel Maddow, appearing on her MSNBC show Monday night, slammed her home network for cancelling Joy Reid's show. See what she had to say here.
