Two weeks ago MSNBC abruptly fired weekend anchor Tiffany Cross [click here if you missed that].
Now Tiffany has retained a high powered attorney to find out why...
From Page Six
We’re told Cross suspects that network head Rashida Jones has a personal beef with the former “Cross Connection” host, and that Cross worries there was something untoward going on behind the scenes. So she retained power attorney Bryan Freedman, who also repped Megyn Kelly in her dispute with NBC.
“The lawyers have been in touch. She wants to know why she got fired,” a source said.
“What’s the business case for letting her go? Brian Williams lied and they brought him back. Joe [Scarborough] and Mika [Brzezinski] had a [romance], and they expanded their hours and paid them more money. Many people in the business feel like [Cross] was made an example out of.”
We’re told MSNBC president Jones “called Tiffany directly and said they won’t be renewing her contract, effective immediately,” when she got the axe.
