Six months ago, Amanda Seales joined The Real alongside Loni Love, Tamera Mowry, Adrienne Bailon, and Jeannie Mai. Yesterday, she announced that her contract was up, and she did not renew it.
She explained, “It doesn’t feel good to my soul to be at a place where I cannot speak to my people the way they need to be spoken to, and where the people who are speaking to me in despairing ways are not being handled.
“I am not in space where I can, as a full Black woman, have my voice, and my co-workers have their voices, and where the people the top are not respecting the necessity for Black voices to be at the top too.
“You see me transform into a way I just can’t function in this place the same way.”
I stopped watching when she joined. She always had to be front and center, and she didn’t let the other women talk. It felt like she brought a negative energy to the daytime talk show.
Seales would be better off doing her own show instead of sharing the table with four other people. Not everyone can work in a group.
