    AceShowbiz – “The Real” former co-host Amanda Seales wasn’t a fan of the talk show’s season 7 premiere on Monday, September 21. Taking to her Instagram account, Amanda called out the show for ripping off her game show “Smart Funny & Black” for its new segment called “Black Lives Matter University”.
    In the post, Amanda pointed out the similarities between her show and the segment, which saw contestants answering questions related to Black and pop culture. Sharing a screenshot of the episode featuring Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, Adrienne Bailon and new co-host Garcelle Beauvais, Amanda wrote in the caption, “Once again therealdaytime demonstrates its low class and even lower vibration.”
    “Just so we’re clear, this is an EGREGIOUS bite of my ‘Smart Funny & Black’ brand in an attempt to bring black awareness into the programming of The Real,” she continued. “They couldn’t find ANY OTHER WAY to do this without it being a bite of my creation.”

    She added, “Yes, I’m saying this on social media because the CONTINUED thievery of black people’s work (even when supported by other BIPOC) needs to be called the F out and also because this is the most energy I’ll give it before going on with my day and creating more dopeness that will inevitably be pilfered by the less talented/ethical/ancestrally connected individuals of our species. Happy Monday. VOTE!” Concluding her rant, Amanda wrote, “[Knowing networks, they did this bcuz they knew I’d post and it would boost ratings.]”

    In the episode, Loni also addressed Amanda and Tamera Mowry’s exit from the show. “Tamera Mowry-Housley is a founding member of ‘The Real’ and while we hated seeing her go, we were so excited that she will spend more time with her family and return to her first love of acting,” she explained. “She’ll be back soon to drop in and we look forward to that. We also had our girl Amanda Seales join us for a short time and we wish Amanda the very best in her future endeavors as well.”
    “Here at ‘The Real’, we are women who choose to work together,” the comedian went on to say. “Our show is still the only panel on television with all women of color. And at this time in our country, we need as many diverse voices as possible on the air and making decisions behind the scenes, like our show has always done that.” Loni also promised that season 7 will be an “amazing season” as “we will be bolder, stronger, and realer than ever before.”

      Amanda Seales Left 'The Real' Because She Was Banned From Talking About Certain Things

      by

      FOX

      The ‘Insecure’ star claims she walked away from the all-female TV panel because she felt like she betrayed her people as she’s asked to avoid certain topics.
      Aug 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Amanda Seales left U.S. TV show “The Real” because it was “breaking” her spirit.
      The 39-year-old actress announced in June (20) that she was leaving the daytime programme after just six months officially on the panel.
      But in a conversation with comedian Godfrey on Instagram Live over the weekend (01-02Aug20), Amanda revealed the real reasons for her exit, admitting that being on the show felt like a “betrayal to my people.”
      “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,” she said. “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.”
      Seales illustrated her point by recalling one of her experiences on “The Real” when a white female producer was given the task of helping her put together a segment titled “Smart, Funny and Black” – a game she created to test someone’s knowledge of Black popular culture.
      “I was so excited to get to play my Smart, Funny and Black game on The Real,” she said. “They assigned it to the one white woman producer, but we have three Black women producers and one Black guy producer and I was like ‘Why are you producing this?’ and she was like, ‘So and so assigned it to me,’ and I said, ‘But why would you be producing this? You’re a white woman. You don’t understand what we’re going to be talking about.’ ”
      Things didn’t end well as the producer in question “went crying to someone and said I attacked her.”
      “I couldn’t stay in a place like that,” she said, adding that she was also constantly receiving backlash from trolls, who used to come for her “beyond comprehension.”
      Following her chat with Godfrey, Amanda took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday (05Aug20) to insist that she didn’t have any issues with her co-hosts Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, Tamera Mowry-Housley, and Adrienne Houghton.
      “Do not try to create some false dissension between me and the co-hosts of The Real…” she said. “What ya’ll don’t understand is grown women do grown women business. That’s what y’all don’t understand, and what I gotta do with my business ain’t got nothing to do with them sisters.”
