Amanda Seales Talks 'Black Outside' Tour, 'The Real' Farewell Ep, Harnessing Black Unity + More

[@noelcoley1245]

I will never understand why people feel like when you stand up for yourself especially in the work place ; you're being rude or disgruntle. NO you're just foul and being called on it. I don't care what Amanda said if she was mistreated she should be allowed to speak her truth. Not including her in the farewell says a lot about the show & proves her point. I always say people don't care about how folks go about things until it effects them

She was there for six months, and the producers were there from day 1. If it was going to cause an uncomfortable work environment to have Amanda back on set with people she talked trash about publicly, why would they have her back? Just like Monique, another occupational hazard. Inviting her back could have only gave Amanda more ammo to go out and talk about the producers, Again. Ruin Their reputations and possibly affect ppl wanting to work with them. Why on earth would they invite her back? Lol i can tell none of you ever ran a business before or had to manager personalities. It was not going to possible for Amanda and production to be on the same set. They picked the producers, who worked the show since day 1 and got an Emmy over Amanda who was there for 6 months, Whats hard to understand about that.

[@Miszny]

I'll give my two cents even though no one asked for it, lol. I've experienced many people like Amanda. They're fun, outspoken, charismatic, passionate, great to have in your corner.. but very draining at the same time. The type of people you love to death but know to keep at arms length. I have a friend or two like this. They have a version of themselves that they believe to be true, and tend to cling to people who champion them in that belief. They are self aware but lack accountability. Headstrong, opinionated, however, everything is a long drawn out debate or discussion; not realizing some things can just be. Also personable enough to get their foot into many spaces, but quick to react when there's a differences of opinion. The inability to bend/compromise, so they cut people off as a result. Constantly working on their ego, but have a hard time being honest with themselves. I like Amanda. I want to continue to like Amanda. Wishing her much success, but just like her podcast.. I can only take her in small doses.

[@Aliasss]

Tamar Braxton & her husband Vincent Herbert were the INITIAL Executive Producers, alongside Sally Salsano back in 2013. 💯 They’re Black, and Sally is Latina. It very much showcased in the initial format of the show, it’s audience & guests. It wasn’t until after they ALL were let go from the show altogether… it took a MAJOR turn. The Real began to be very political, but at the same time.. lack substance. 🤧 They were nominated for awards, but didn’t actually win until they “whitened it up”. I guess once they seen the ratings & backlash for the lack of knowledge on topics regarding BLACK people… they decided to get Amanda. and pull in a new Black Executive Producer. Then they had an issue with Amanda making it “too Black”. 🙄 I specifically remember Loni doing an interview, and saying _”this isn’t a Black show”_ in regards to Amanda. SMH. So I believe her sentiments. 🤦🏽‍♀️

All of this but yes that’s the exact reason they hired Amanda . It was at the height of racial tensions in the country and BLM . They used her to pander and she caught on. Even go back and watch how after she left Loni all of a sudden start being very “pro black” , dressing like A,and a keeping her braided and in African wraps . And then she let it go after the conversations switched . They didn’t pull in a new producer they took one of the producers and promoted her . People also forget that the white producer Amanda is talking about fired Tamar for being too ghetto

All she has advocated for is about Black people and it happens to include her experience as a Black woman. On a show like The Real, thas for and with women panels, a lot of the commentary is about… women. When her assertive and self-assured messages grate on people’s skin, they see that coming from a Black woman and conclude that “SBW” is her narrative. No. That is a projection.

[@beebee2528]

I remember when she said Jussie's actions were noble and no one checked her! Just because she has a Masters in African American Studies doesn't make all of her statements right. I still enjoy her comedy and her general perspective on things.

[@Dymsx86]

I used to follow Amanda on IG and want her to succeed. I think she's bright, funny, and a great storyteller, but all of that gets overshadowed easily by the negativity. It's too bad. It can't be everyone else is the problem - sometimes, you gotta get introspective and better understand how people are receiving you.

Before Amanda was on the show, a lot of the topics were mediocre tbh. When she came, I noticed they started talking about THINGS THAT MATTER such as systemic racism, politics, education, and culture. Her presence was a breath of fresh air, and I hate that she wasn’t honored during the farewell episode.

[@nankypooh655]

The Oxford English Dictionary's does NOT include words like Systematic, Systemic, Institutional, Institutionalized or Power. How about reading up on the history of The Irish before blaming white people for all the troubles in the world?

[@FreshErinHere]

I agree it was very rude for her to be left out of the farewell episode. However, I don't understand her bitterness about it. If you really feel like 1) the show as a whole was fake, 2) it wasn't good for your spirit and 3) you "weren't really getting money like that" then why even be bothered about being left out??? Unless they still owe you money, just go live your best life and let them kick rocks 🤷🏿

[@lakersin556]

I agree. When I first heard the story I asked myself, "would she even go if they invited her?"

[@chocolate87ify]

Exactly

[@Dymsx86]

I agree. I really don't understand her complaints. I've had jobs where it was absolutely miserable and once I left them, they never once entered my mind. I didn't give a damn. LOL. So it is strange to me that Amanda, who has been so vocal about how much she hated the experience, would care about the show. She also alleged that The Real stole her ideas, so again, why would she care?

[@jacifrankie9893]

Bitter? Not all criticism is because someone is bitter. And if you listened to her i dont get why yall confused. Sound like yall be okay with being disrespected.

[@FreshErinHere]

@@jacifrankie9893 You're right, Not ALL criticism is because someone is bitter. But THIS criticism sounds like it is. It didn't make sense to be so hurt when you were only there for a short time and didn't even like being there anyway. Was it petty of The Real to not mention her? Yes. But does it require a whole rant though? Nah.

As a black girl living in Switzerland, everytime I hear about Amanda Seales she's either rejected from somewhere or having beef with someone. That's literally all I know her for. So I went to see for myself. I followed her on IG (then quickly unfollowed), I tried to go listen to whatever she had to say on her podcast, I tried to understand, I watched her on The Real and in the end, it's only really clear how difficult she is (and kinda toxic too). Wow. The reason why she speaks so often about entitled white people is because she's exactly like them. According to her, her audience is solely people who agrees with her: everybody else is dumb and/or late. With all the beefs and negativity surrounding this woman, I NEVER heard her ONCE say "But maybe that time it was me, maybe I could've handled the situation better", no, the entire world has or should have apologized to her. So yes Amanda Seales: go thrive on social media, making videos alone with a phone that will never talk back, or alone on a stage from where you will "educate" the world to think exactly like you, or alone behind a podcast microphone cause Hollywood and some of us are, indeed, done with you.

You can advocate for yourself without burning a bridge. Her attitude makes it difficult to empathize with her, even if some of her points are valid.
