Reggie Hayes Reveals Hardships After 'Girlfriends' - Unforgotten

[@bizzy50]

He was such an original male lead. Shout out to him!

[@tameraplease6645]

My boyfriend worked with him on the set of a film called “Mothers Day” I think. He always says “that’s my guy!” Wishing him all the best in life ✨

[@wordlifefactory1656]

Reggie Hayes should do narration/voiceover work with his voice. It's a deep one, almost sounds like James Earl Jones, but not as deep, but enough to keep your attention. Reggie Hayes should do documentaries and voiceover work like that, he'd make a lot of new money.

[@SweetTeaDarling]

As I’m watching this interview I forgot that SAG is on strike. I just want Reggie Hayes to get another role! I loved his portrayal of William.

[@godslocddaughter1545]

Me too sister, he was funnnny to me! 😂

[@LoveZaiyd]

I fw Reggie the Loooong way👑

[@honeycombthepoet]

He was on Abbott Elementary. Hopefully, he will get more roles.

[@BrendaMcDuffie-s7j]

I really enjoyed his character. He made the show more interesting and funny. I loved him on Abbott Elementary also. ❤️

[@craigpatterson6225]

I really did too , I watched " Girlfriends " then hoping he would be on it and he was . And now it's on Netflix it's great to see this show , he was great . Just very sad I even wish that I could do anything for this Incredibly talented Man .

[@arih5692]

I’m here because I’m watching Girlfriends for the millionth and one time. I always loved Reggie’s character William, but Reggie is AMAZING too!!! ❤️🌹

[@Faithfamilyandfunreviews]

Reggie Hayes has a gentle and kind spirit. May God give you the desires of His heart.🙏

[@futurefind674]

You watched an hour long video, and came to that conclusion? 🙄😒

[@JukuduB]

​@futurefind674 wow....let the woman say something nice. Damn.

[@jermainestewart6486]

William was my hommie on that show and I never never NEVER saw him as sweet he was a straight dude on there

[@lorimcbrayer8431]

Sending Reggie Hayes blessings for the future!!😊

[@TheFirstJedi]

Hollywood did this man wrong. I hope he makes a comeback!

[@JayzoTheNextKobeBryant2.0]

Same Here Dawg

[@futurefind674]

Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen. I just hope he stays well, and is happy.

[@chanelcaldwell6844]

I could close my eyes and know I'm listening to him..he has such a unique voice 😊 Prayers for him 🙏🏼

How? What happened?

[@deontethegreatone1367]

Me too

[@mizzyoung9836]

Good to see Reggie! Wishing nothing but the best for him!🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️

[@rosalynmathis6309]

Saw him recently on Quinta Bronson's Abbott Elementary he was really good. Hope it turns to a recurring role

[@Southwest4109]

You can tell he relaxed the more he realized the interviewer was a real one🔥💨🔥💨🔥💨

[@biancagerman9808]

Beautiful Interview!! Really enjoyed it!! ❤ Sending Reggie nothing but Love and Light!!

[@greenbyrdd8308]

Wow. He lost his mother at age 4 and father at 14. It is truly remarkable that he experienced so much success, despite having no parental anchors in his life. Much respect to him.

[@wordlifefactory1656]

The era with Girlfriends was such a great one. It was worth cherishing, because writers really did a lot and their work showed in how many seasons aired of these shows and how memorable they must truly be for people to still reference it after all these years. Human minds and creativity matter. I hope SAG (actors/writers union) doesn't back down and (get EVERY single thing they want in their STRIKE, because no one should just be letting AI takeover without the careful considerations taken and precautions heeded. AI in Hollywood needs some serious regulation for how it is not being respectful of where human capital and AI assistance intersect. Reggie really balanced the show in an amazing way, his witty banter was always welcome, and his confidence was sexy, but not overdone. It was a great show, but something has gotten to him emotionally for some years now and that's why I believe he presents this way. Even his voice sounds down, like he's still trying to fight his way back up from something. I wish him the best in doing so, because as imagined or known, life's twists and turns are no joke.

[@godslocddaughter1545]

GREAT interview!! Sooo glad to see you again and that you are doing well brother Reggie🙌🏾👏🏾👌🏾🙏🏾….. You appear sweet -on and off camera, I appreciate your honesty and realness! Prayers for more acting opportunities to come your way, keep your head up and keep the Faith! God’s got you brother‼️🙏🏾

[@andreoates8405]

Hey Reggie, it’s great seeing you I hope you are living your best life that you’re able to move forward you have something to offer to this world. You brought so much joy and happiness to our community. Hopefully you can move forward in your life and reach out to Jill And your friends it’s not good being a loner don’t isolate yourself💯☺️💕

[@CallowXayne]

Nice to see Reggie. Good luck with everything, Reggie.

[@theprolificnetwork4670]

Dang hes changed so much I imagined he was the same Reggie from Girlfriends that guy would fit perfectly in the Fraiser reboot he's gotta get back in shape and do some voice rehabilitation and get his Mojo back. LETS GO RIGGIE!!! Time for a COMEBACK!! 🎉🎉

[@futurefind674]

This is so sad. He was so put together. He seemed like he would be successful, no matter what he did. Now he doesn't even look like he ever was who he was. 😢 On another note, it's good that he can rely on his sister to hold him down if things ever got real bad. I wish I could say the same thing, but MY sisters would leave me in the gutter! Lastly...WHY DOES THIS CHANNEL WANNA MAKE EVERYBODY GAY??? WTF??? 👋🏾😅

[@phantomstorm7538]

Been waiting for this full interview for a long time good interview I hope things pick up for him in a big way 👍

[@mamanlo]

The genius that was in your portrayal of William is unlike anything I have seen on TV in a sitcom. I hope you get your flowers while we still have you. Love you❤

[@patienceisavirtue]

We still love you Reggie aka William! ❤

[@janellethomas28]

Shout out @comedyhype for this interview. Something tells me that this interview put a smile on and in Reggie's spirit 😊

[@Stillrocks33]

I wish my man the best. I watched the entire run of girlfriends last year it was an amazing show. This man centered his world around his job. I wish he made some other moves during the height of his popularity. I believe that he can make a comeback. Hopefully he can get a support system.

[@ushenabryant1438]

Mr.Hayes..Come om down to Atlamta,GA.. We will treat you like the Person you are😊

[@ptuinsights6487]

This was a hard watch you can still hear the hurt in his voice i feel bad for him

[@blah21blah22blah23]

Great interview! Wishing Reggie Hayes all the best!

[@tanyawhite4864]

Come thru for this man Tyler Perry Studios

[@Itsmyturn-notapickme]

Reggie, keep going man. There is so much more for you out there. You’re a phenomenal actor whether you acknowledge it or not my guy. You’re that dude and don’t really recognize it. I genuinely hope they reprise all the roles on “Girlfriends” where all the original cast members play their roles especially you, Jill, Persia and Golden. Tracee is already a for sure win but a reboot with a mix of some of the old and new writers, you all will kill it. Keep your health in tact lose another more lbs. getting back in shape and bring back our William. We love and miss all of you. 💙💙💙

[@djallin2727]

Jon has to be 1 of the best interviewer, I've seen or heard on the internet. I wish I could sit down Did him somewhere in Atlanta and just chop it up and talk life and business.... Love this insightful brother!

[@tammymorgan5348]

I don't think any other actor we know could've played William as good as Reggie.

[@angelaridley6782]

God bless Reggie!!! He is a Class Act!!! Also, I think he should get his own sitcom, maybe with "Lynn"..., not a bad idea. Maybe do writing, producing, directing, etc.... We need more people like him!!

[@undisclosedreceiptant7288]

He Was So DAMN Funny! Chi town swag. I loved him. Yes he needs mo rolls. I didn't know He was from here...

[@H-townQ7]

love this interview , peace and blessings Mr. Hayes we enjoyed you more then you know

[@LuLu-sy8oz]

Awesome actor!!! Loved him as William on girlfriend. He did a part on Being John Malkovich that was really good too!

[@ejakaegypt]

Took so long to release this entire thing

[@virginiastovall605]

Reggie is and was an amazing actor! I saw him on Abbott Elementary!,, His character was well written and he is a great actor. Acting to him seems to escapism..... the interviewer is crass , kinda cold. I pray he gets his flowers.

[@lorimcbrayer8431]

Blessings to all people of color in Hollywood because it is hard as hell to make it in the business.

[@TheGangstaz3000]

Rooting for you King! You were great on that show.

[@tierrashanice6299]

I want him to win so badly. See you on a new project soon Reggie 👌🎉

[@vickijohnson7712]

I wish you love and prosperity Mr. Williams. 🦋🙏🏾🦋

[@ajax0116]

OMG! I loved him on TV. Why did he take this route. Knowledge of self is so important!

[@djallin2727]

We have a lot in common, the same views on aging friends relatives and parenting.... And oh yeah relationships. I feel like when he was speaking I was speaking into the mirror! He's definitely a realist.

[@personalnone5904]

Love this guy. I'm hoping he gets more work.

[@bajanfan0260]

I love Comedy Hype, but I'm tripping on the interviewer saying he can't get over Mr. Hayes's so-called 'leap' from Chicago to L.A. Does he not know that a lot of people move from Chicago to L.A.? There is a lot of theatre in Chicago, so people can really get prepared for movies and television in Chicago. And his question about pimp culture ane gang culture. Give me a break! There's so much more to Chicago than that, yes, even for Black folk.

[@cathayes6862]

This makes me so sad.. I hope he’s doing better now.. he was so great on Girlfriends

I just DON'T WANT TO HEAR OR READ ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT THIS INCREDIBLE ACTOR PASSED AWAY BECAUSE OF ANYTHING ! , He has a Large Fan base and i just hope he knows this ! It was Called " Girlfriends " but it could've been called " The Four Corners of William " or The Four Attitudes of William " Anything ! But he should know , He definitely could hold his own show .

Love you Reggie. May you find happiness ❤

[@SiiiMamiii]

William was underrated lol... awww I wonder if it ever worked out with Monica 😂

[@Carla-w3l]

He made the show

[@Ariescertified]

I love Girlfriends I watch it over and over. It’s honestly one of the best shows. I know the ladies a few years ago had a mini reunion and they didn’t invite him they didn’t even acknowledge him or his character. But they brought up Monica 😅 the industry is phoney cause William and Toni really carried that show. Wish him the best ❤

Wow! he barely recognizable now, you know just cause we age that don't mean you let yourself go, I gotta say I'm a little disappointed in him.

What did he say ?
