Amanda Seales Done Protecting Issa Rae & Talks About Issa Not Empowering Women
Shannon Sharpe: I had Lil Rel and he says that Issa, most of her set is with women; camera people, etc, etc. And that she's very empowering to women.
Amanda Seales: I disagree. She wasn't empowering to me. She didn't feel like I deserved to be protected... I have still always protected her because I felt like it is my responsibility to do so, but I realize now it is not.

Always remember the story with Oprah Winfrey and Whoppi Goldberg. For years they didn't speak. They happened to be at the same function. Whoppi went and sought Oprah out at the event and Whoopi asked her, "Did I do something to you, did I say something that offended you?" Oprah was shocked and said to Whoppi, " No, I was told you had a problem with ME!" They are friends now and a lesson was learnt. Put rumors aside and speak to the person directly.

Amanda said something key , she said when you’re sure of yourself people feel small and have issues with you. I never understood why trouble seemed to always find me even when I stayed to myself. People do not like when you do not need or seek validation and find contentment in who God made you to be. I wish I could tell her I see her and how much we value her in our community. She’s too real for the community she is in💛

​@dylanmiller1256 Issa didn't give a role to Amanda. Amanda earned it. If Amanda sucked at her job, she wouldn't have had the role. This party wasn't Vanessa's baby shower or personal birthday bash.

All those characters she is talking about are so petty…the host of the show is clearly bored and struggling to engage in the substance of her pettiness…she needs psychotherapy and a more open mind.

I have a friend who reminded me a lot of Amanda. Intelligent, attractive, successful...very hard to get along with, especially with men. We're in our 50s now. She finally admitted she's very lonely. That's huge for her. Be careful of admiring personality types like Amanda. Definitely, don't immulate it. Eventually that abrasive personality in women ends miserably. It costs nothing to be pleasant.

[@childlikefaithfilms]

And, if someone tells you you're on the list not to be admitted, find something else to do. She tried to bogart her way in someplace she was told 3 times to leave. That's not strength, that's idiocy. Nothing that happened after, lies or not, would have occurred had she just left after the first or second time.
