MSNBC has cut ties with TV host Melissa Harris-Perry after she had a private fight with the network, according to reports on Sunday.

She told CNN and other outlets that her reps are in talks with MSNBC about an exit deal.

MSNBC channel preempted her for campaign coverage with the “Place for Politics” title.

“While MSNBC may believe that I am worthless, I know better,” she also wrote, per The New York Times. “I know who I am. I know why MHP Show is unique and valuable. I will not sell short myself or this show. I am not hungry for empty airtime. I care only about substantive, meaningful, and autonomous work. When we can do that, I will return — not a moment earlier.”

Her show ran from 10 a.m. to noon.
