Jason Lee spills on the celebrity media biz, Hollywood Unlocked, & online misconceptions about him

[@dbrownn211]

I appreciate watching grown adults agree to disagree but FULL STOP disagree and still continue to carry on with the conversation. This is how All “hard conversations” need to be conducted. Love both of you being on each other’s show, having completely different conversations as Black people.

[@AlishaDixonTV]

I'm a journalist and a lot of people have no clue what journalism really is and what's required. It's often used interchangeably with blogging/content creation. It's not. It's about source-backed facts and information, not rumors, malice, opinions or assumptions. As a matter of fact, the writer's voice is not even present in journalism, not including editorials/opinion pieces. And, journalism isn't failing. There's always a cyclical nature/trend in newsrooms. Happens every 5-10 years.

I think it’s a hard pill to swallow to realize your life’s work is something dark. Jason needs to feel good about his life’s work. It could cause some inner conflict if you can’t justify it.

[@nahhhbruhhh]

She was correct however she was doing no better on the real lol to her definition she was not physically there for any situation she was reporting on and still provided an opinion.

[@jymmihelix]

Bs they both do the same thing if she say he’s gossiping she’s doing the same thing Amanda’s name was revived for giving her opinion on not only what happened to her but other things as well my issue with Amanda is she’s literally trying to convince him and villainize and she low key is having a hard time computing that he’s able to just give her strong responses and she’s so good at asking questions and trying to control peoples responses he is giving her work lawd lol but yet because he’s sooo transparent genuine and a really good person it’s tripping her out but just my opinion if she took time to really listen with an ear of accepting people for who they choose to be she won’t be on the battlefield so often with some people who may actually loooves her

[@MhyY-u4p]

That and he's not the only platform out there obviously and I think artists etc should go to more positive based platforms who will actually help to promote your music etc and not Jason Lee's platform unless your husband or wife ran off with the maid or the physical instructor and wants a divorce etc. He's not who you go to if you want to be professional that and as far as I can tell or know doesn't have a lot of viewers so I don't think Tekashi or anyone else would be missing out on anything significant. There are better platforms.

If there's ever a thing Amanda will do consistently, it's take you to church lol Her and Jason are super cool with one another & yet they've shown how it is HEALTHY to have a intellectual CONVERSATION where disagreements happen & it doesn't have to lead to violence or verbal attacks. Love thus duo. I'd actually like to see more of them discussing all sorts of other topics and current events.

[@kikikulture]

The definition of Gossip: idle talk or rumors, especially about the personal or private affairs of others. Jason, you and your band are the literal definition of Gossip 😅😅

[@TalentedKamarty]

Facts, although to his point, i do believe there's so many others that do the same too. The so called "reliable sources & journalists" also hit u with a "Sources say" "Our sources say" n those sources be unreliable asf or fake & an excuse to tell a rumor without looking like HollywoodUnlocked, BallerAlert, etc.

To answer one of the questions on this interview, I do NOT think every part of a celebrity's life is fair game. Celebrities are literal human beings with trauma just like the rest of us. Just because some worked their way up to be in the public eye, that should not make their ENTIRE life fair game. Celebrities can choose what they would like to share to the public. Celebrities are not invincible.

[@Jaijaisinger2727_]

AMANDA IS EVERYTHING! She has integrity, she's extremely intelligent, talented and funny. IT'S AMAZING TO ME THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS AND WHAT IS NOT GOSSIP AND THAT'S BECAUSE HE TRIED TO JUSTIFY HIS SHYT! ANYONE CAN DO WHAT HE DOES IT'S NOT HARD!

[@wellbeingadvocate]

Isn't it interesting that by Jason being so good at what he does, exposes a side of human nature we all have. They both expose truths about humanity. Amanda just exposes truths and shows us how to be better. So Jason just exposes what is, and leaves it to us to decide how we will lean in society. Self check our emotional intelligence, what are our values, self check our compassion, ect. I love both of them.

[@clodia1834]

He doesn’t just expose it does he? He puts a spin on it. He edits and strategizes and calculates the posts to garner a specific reaction in the comments/social media. He knows negativity sells so he continues to “peddle in darkness”.

That was a very enjoyable healthy heated conversation. My takeaway. When talking about the term friend/friends. I feel like in today’s culture people use the word friend very loosely and incorrectly. There are times when someone is an acquaintance. A close acquaintance there are so many levels. And secondly. Jason Lee will talk to you around in circles in a conversation. God bless him. He is such a Leo. He doesn’t offend me. Thank you for this upload! ✌🏼💯🩵 love Amanda love Jason ✌🏼💙

[@tha_trap_soul_hippie]

He's not the first and won't be the last...

[@TiffanyRayneOfficial]

​@tha_trap_soul_hippie Of course he isn't the first and won't be the last, but it's how you do it that matters. You can do a celebrity rumor/gossip platform and still be respectable and have integrity about it. He built his platform on the negative/drama driven side, and doesn't care about the harm he causes with his "style" of so called journalism. Until it directly effects him and his pockets. People take the Cardi B/Tasha K lawsuit/verdict as a joke and make it about their personal feelings/opinions about them. But defimation is real, which is why those types of lawsuits exist. And the reason Cardi won that lawsuit to the tune of $4 million. It was proven in court that Tasha K lied on her, which cause reputational harm and personal emotional stress. It's not even about the money it's the principal. You would think Tasha K would stop by now after filing bankruptcy, but she hasn't stopped yet. But everyone wants their five minutes of fame, everything for viral moments and clicks + views.

[@semajcarmel]

@@lovelycheryl If it were my opinion, it's an informed opinion. Gaslighting is deception and telling lies. The intention isn't only to hide the truth but to outright deny things that the other person has experienced. Gaslighting is an attempt to manipulate the other person into believing that: They cannot trust their own eyes or ears. Gasligthing is based in lies and deception. There's no honesty in lies and deception.
