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.

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💛

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.

I can totally relate to how Amanda feels. Her light is intimidating to those who feel insecure within themselves. Her tribe will embrace her energy, but most people live in a false reality, and despise the truth because the truth requires people to keep it real with themselves. Everyone isn’t ready to deal with the truth. When real energy hits the scene, people who can’t deal with reality will be offended and do everything possible to take out the “threat”. Her energy is the threat which is why people tell her she needs to change. They want HER to change so that THEY can feel comfortable.

[@Heyy_itsJazzyy]

@@littlebear67 I Sure do & it makes me raise eye-brows as a lingual psychologist, as people who constantly speak of themselves in this way are proven scientifically to be preforming more impression management, and less-so from a place of genuine active recall and reflection in story-telling. ! That "holi-ness" is subtlely conveyed throughout every nuance of her storytelling. Its like... people need to not watch the ACTRESS explain the her "side" of the story, because they'll easily be more taken aback by her emotional portrayal and performance execution , which is why I think alot of people are fooled by this interview. Instead, if people chose to close their eyes and listen alone, then her constant ego-stroking and facade of false "vulnerability" become more readily apparent/.

[@MyLatestObsessionPodcast-rj3qy]

I adore Issa’s work and just her vibe in general but having a publicist who works for you attacking the reputation of an actor that works on your show is BAD for your show and the legacy of your show. Issa absolutely had a responsibility to intervene for that reason alone. Now, there is all this mess. Neglecting the issue was simply bad management and bad business, and that engenders mistrust!

[@AlexisJohnson-r4e]

You definitely spoke truth to this issue. You have to call them our on their b s.

[@monicaoliver112]

Well said!

[@vanessabarnesmiller6015]

IMO, if the issue(s) didn’t revolve around the show, then it had absolutely nothing to do with Issa Rae! It is obvious to me that it didn’t involve the show because AS said Issa asked her if it would be a problem on the set. Grown people manage your own interpersonal relationships, puh-lease!!! 💕💚💕

[@gigithomp101]

I disagree. So because 1 or 2 people do not like you (probably because of their own insecurities), you should not attend an event that you have earned the right to be included or work on a set where you are being paid🤔 There will always be people who do not like you for reasons that have no validity, such as, "being light-skinned".
