Amanda Seales has called out the producers of talk show, ‘The Real’ for excluding her from its farewell episode and promo.
The comedian and actress who guest co-hosted the show several times
in 2019 after the exit of Tamar Braxton and also came on as a full-time
co-host in January 2020, took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the
slight.
Amanda officially joined co-hosts Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, Tamera
Mowry-Housley and Adrienne Houghton in January but chose not to renew
her contract in August 2020 after it expired.
At that time, she said, “I left The Real because it was breaking my
spirit. I was being asked to not talk about certain things that felt
like a betrayal to my people. And then on top of that, I didn’t want to
be somewhere that I felt like people weren’t being honest with me and
where people felt scared of me because of my Black woman-ess.”
In April 2022, we learned that ‘The Real’ was being cancelled after
eight seasons on air. So during their farewell promo released this week,
photos of all the hosts, including Tamar Braxton and latest co-host
Garcelle Beauvais, were shown, except for Amanda’s. So rightfully, she
fired back. On Twitter, she retweeted a fan who shared a thumbnail of
the farewell episode and said, “Did @amandaseales ask to be left out of
the thumbnail? Was her contribution not appreciated?” Amanda replied,
“Sure didn’t. But they can absolutely go duck themselves with a chainsaw
for doing so. .”
Taking to her Instagram, Amanda uploaded a video and said, “So
apparently, ‘The Real,’ in their finale episode, did promo. I am not
featured in this thumbnail, and I am not featured in the farewell
episode apparently. I’ll have some things to say about that.” After a
few chuckles, Amanda quoted R&B singer K. Michelle and said, “Whew
child. I must really be out here, just shaking the table.” She simply
captioned the post, “Rude.”
