Melissa Harris-Perry is out at MSNBC

Melissa Harris-Perry and her cable TV bosses have gone splitsville, both sides said on Sunday.

“Farewell #Nerdland. Inviting diverse new voices to table was a privilege,” tweeted Harris-Perry, who threw a very public tantrum last week in the wake of her weekend show being pre-empted in recent weeks in favor of live news cover of the Democratic and GOP presidential primaries. “Grateful for years of support & criticism.”

An MSNBC rep confirmed the network and Harris-Perry had “parted ways.”

The host sent a scathing memo on Friday, accusing employers of using her as a token.

“I will not be used as a tool for [management’s] purposes,” she wrote to her staff. “I am not a token, mammy, or little brown bobble head. I love our show, I want it back.”

The “Melissa Harris-Perry” show had run from 10 a.m. to noon on weekends.

“Our show was taken — without comment or discussion or notice — in the midst of an election season,” she wrote to staff.
