Jemele Hill to Britt McHenry: “Your Racism Is Showing”

Hill did not take kindly to McHenry taking shots at ESPN’s "High Noon."

A pair of ex-ESPNers still can’t get along even though neither of them works there any longer.

After Fox contributor Britt McHenry took shots at ESPN’s High Noon, Jemele Hill of The Atlantic accused her former Worldwide Leader co-worker of “racism” in a tweet.

On Instagram, McHenry took a shot at High Noon by saying the program – which is hosted by people of color Bomani Jones and Pablo Torre – is an example of ESPN prioritizing “filling demo’s over talent.”

That’s when Hill fired back by sharing a screenshot of McHenry’s post and accusing her of racism.

In a subsequent tweet, Hill clarified her position. “Had she just said she didn’t like the show, I wouldn’t have said anything,” she wrote. “But she immediately suggested that they were on tv because of her race. These guys are my friends, and she’s a moron for belittling them in that way.”

After Torre shared Hill’s post with the screengrab, McHenry issued her own response:
