Amanda Seales Exposes Issa Rae & Reacts To 'Mean Girl' Criticism 

1000%

I still wanna hear the other sides 🤷🏽‍♀️. We're only hearing from Amanda. All of her cast mates were there and not a single one defended her

Not a single one. I’m curious as to why also.

Because they don’t like her. St all. Which is fine, but be professional. If this was an industry party for Black entertainers, and she is indeed an actor on the same show, why not let her in? Because you don’t like her. Either be professional or honest.

@@imjustsaying364exactly and sooner than later they will all be at each other’s throat

You are always so eloquent and clear👌🏾

This

Precisely, it sounds to me like Issa was trying to approach this as a “friend” or peer as opposed to a manager

And that's all Amanda was saying. But 🤷🏽‍♀️

💯

Well damn 😮

Facts

You’re so exhausted but had the time and energy to write that sentence.

​@@lisam.w.anonymous3690she's being sarcastic

Amanda tries way too hard to be this odd mashup of Malcolm X and Mya Angelu and she comes off as a know it all self righteous angry lady and it's very pretentious and exhausting

To be fair, Issa did everything right in her power with the facts at play. The new information about Amanda’s diagnosis sheds new light and Issa May have handled things different with said information

Yes that creates and hostile work environment among the employees and if you're the boss you set the tone of what is or isn't tolerated

​@Catchthiswaver she wouldnt even answer that she was diagnosed by a dr. She talked around it. So. It makes it seems as if she's self diagnosing from an online quizz.

​@Catchthiswaver No...she didn't...Amanda's diagnosis has nothing to do with it. As the "boss" you step in when 2 "employees" have an issue in order to resolve the situation...very unprofessional of her. And why does she have to tell anyone whether she was professionally diagnosed or not?? I don't see anyone asking if Kanye was diagnosed with his ASD🙄

@@eebz5 she said after talking to her therapist. Also, she doesn’t owe us her personal health history

🎯

That's a great possibility, and unfortunately some dont understand that 2 things can be true at the same time.

Facts, facts.

This is not completely Amanda, period.

Sometimes it's really not. A lot of things goes in behind the scenes that oftentimes given your position. U can't speak of. So to keep the peace. You take an L. So it's not always u.,

THANK YOU! She lied about a man being a grapist. This lady is unhinged

U heard she complaining abt Shannon for club shay shay? I agree....with this woman, the world seems to be against her..to hear Amanda tell it

Considering that nobody likes her I think that’d be hard. I’m being facetious…but seriously all we hear about is how people don’t like her. She’s always been annoying as heck to me. And not because she’s honest and speaks her mind and is intelligent…it’s because of her arrogance and entitlement. And inability to take accountability in any of the situations she talks about.

⁠@@tunitune777what does she need to take accountability of exactly! Folk always want someone or the victim to take accountability for others actions that caused them to react/respond. There are many people who like Amanda. Just like this commenter said, Amanda needs to be amongst people of her caliber and those who appreciate her authenticity and value.

@@Eyesunmoonstars If a person goes through their life and is consistently a victim of something, then at some point they have to take accountability for why that is…rather than blaming everything and everyone. If I’m constantly running through rose bushes, I can’t blame the thorns for why I’m always bleeding.

@@tunitune777 so if a person goes through life being bullied and teased because they have one leg, it is ultimately up to them to reassess why they have one leg in oppose to two and question whether or not their inadequacies are offending others and some how try to get a second leg as to appease others so they can therefore be likable? 😒 This is how your statement sounds. You want to change others into who YOU want them to be for YOU. That’s not going to happen. People are exactly that. Different. We are not a monolith. You either accept or reject. Amanda knows who she is and accepts that. She has done nothing wrong. Her using her brain to think, interpret and understand is a part of her makeup. She has been victimized in many ways and she has a right to express her feelings about it. There is no need to shame her for being a victim and saying it’s her own fault. No matter is it happened once, twice, or nine hundred times. We have to normalize holding the antagonist and bully accountable. Not telling the victim to internalize and embrace the damn bullying.

@@Eyesunmoonstars you missed the point.

A lot of very successful people. . . .but surely NOT all . . . . my parents maintained their integrity every turn of every corner leading to success. ❤

How do you know? Do you know her?

Agreed. Issa seems like someone who can't deal with conflict. If Amanda's behaviour was causing issues she, being the boss, should have said something to her. It looks like she complains to other people like her publicist and lets them do whatever. How do you let an employee of yours treat another employee that works on your show like that? You're the one who should talk to them to make sure there isn't a hostile environment at work. If Issa set boundaries with her publicist and spoke to Amanda bluntly maybe none of this would have happened.

Why would you be confused when she stated that her autism makes her oblivious to social cues?

Autistic people don’t pick up social Que my little son is like that he had two friends who played in his face low key was mean in a passive way and I had to step in and teach him what to look for. It’s hard being different as a mom it breaks you to see your child struggling. They are also so plain spoken because there is no gray area in the way they see things it’s right or wrong

My friend met her before and she said the same thing

Wow. Interesting, I really thought she’d be nice.

My friend met her and said she was really nice

Maybe she’s just protecting herself from the influx of people who believe themselves to be her friend just because they watch her on T.V

I met her back when she was doing Misadventures and she was actually really nice 🤷🏾‍♀️

Gurl bye! Amnda is the prob!

Issa graduated from Stanford. She is not intimidated by the very eloquent Amanda S. They are both very intelligent women.

That's valid. I would be feeling some type away myself. It's an awkward position for both ladies.

Amanda isn't one of them.

Yet, you’re on this thread commenting about her. I don’t get it.

Amanda is brilliant and talented and beautiful, and on and on....

​​@@lisam.w.anonymous3690so you dropped this response on everybody who has a bad comment abt Amanda.... wait... Amanda is that you? girl, go get that autism test please....

Exactly

Amanda is self diagnosed!

Issa is going to be getting the oprah treatment from the black community.

When you’re in a position of power, it’s hard for you to respond, folks will side with the victim without honest review. Katt Williams alluded to this in his interview.

I bet she won't! She got bigger fish to fry and don't have time for Amanda's shenanigans!

It irked me all the push back he gave her, because I saw his Desi Banks interview.

And there is very little accountability. It's exhausting.

Yes 👏🏾 that true Seems like if she doesn’t get her way then everyone is against her and she is the victim 🙄🙄

Hi! I can see how you could come to that conclusion; I really do. However, we can say that black men are more prone to being professional victims. There is little to no accountability among an alarming number of them (of course, not all). For example, when they blame single mothers and welfare for "taking the black man out of the house" rather than holding the MEN WHO CHOOSE TO ABANDON THEIR FAMILIES accountable. Another example is how Chris Brown is given grace by black men (and many black women) for his DV incident with Rihanna and his manic behavior. Still, Amanda is considered combative while passionately voicing her opinions, in part due to her neurodivergence and late ADHD diagnosis. I will always give grace to black women while still holding them accountable; even to black women who I consider insufferable, such as Amanda. I extend this grace because others do NOT have any grace for us, whether blunt and abrasive as Amanda or meek, docile, or submissive. I understand that this interview is about Amanda, so we are discussing Amanda and not black men, and I am not trying to further any "gender war." I just wanted to make a distinction. Sorry for the long comment, too. 🙂

No compassion

@@Trillary_Banksthey are professional victims 😂. There absolutely no accountability whatsoever with both parties

Issa mystery....

Issa is so distraught that you would think that of her!

@@RDCFemmesWhy do you assume people care what Issa would think? 😂 We can have opinions on her without caring what she thinks of it 😂

@@RDCFemmes Clearly you are lmao.....

Thought it was just me...

Who does? Even her dog ran away and her cat committed suicide

Amanda is insufferable and is too narcissistic to realize that she is her own worst enemy. She doesnt see that the reason that so many doors are closing in her face is because she is brash, patronizing, and self centered. She fails at being introspective and that is what will help with her ability to coexist in the industry or any work environment. I havent even worked with her and even still I would not want to work with her. She is a magnet of negative energy.

I agree!

It's Issa's problem when, as "the boss," she allows her employees to create a hostile work environment for others.

@@mariak6470 see that's where I disagree. The party was not a work environment. It was not an Insecure party. It had no official ties to the set. Publicists have multiple clients and multiple events. Amanda advised us that this took place offset and bcz no one addressed it onset she felt ostracized. That's like you and a coworker getting into it outside of work and you expecting your manager to mediate a resolution for something that has nothing to do with the actual work place.Also, I find it interesting that back when the party incident happened Amanda went on IG and said ppl from Insecure cast saw it happen and didn't step in. Now on Shannon's show, she said there weren't any cast members there that witnessed what happened, just ppl that she knew. I do sympathize with Amanda regarding the physical assault & humiliation from the body guards but if I were her, I'd have my attorney handle that part ...And I would have had a real conversation with Vanessa to find out why she really didn't like me. No way for a resolution without both parties being heard.

I know & have worked with many kind, non condescending non full of themselves selves people with ASD or Asperger’s. Amanda is on a different level. Maybe she can’t read social cues but she is rude & nasty. Now she’s not working & wants to blame the DX no ma’am it’s her nasty attitude.

My clients that are clinically diagnosed take accountability for their behavior and don't expect others to excuse their behavior either

@ForeverLuxeDesigns It's a spectrum disorder...no two folks are the same.

@@rjs1602 it amazes me how people cape for strangers they don't know personally, the celebrity worship is real

Girl Amanda ain’t so innocent and we don’t care. Can’t use that for sympathy now. Amanda cusses out fans and snaps on people all on instagram . She weird

Relational aggression

🤔

It definitely was not like that on the show. Lol they were all great friends. Issa brother didnt care for Kelli. But the girls were the best of friendss. There was an episode when Amanda was missing and all the girls came together to find her. There was never any negative energy pushed on Amandas character in Insecure. Now off screen ??? Im sure there was.

Yes they were fake friends on the show, lol and it wasn't playful banter like ahmad and kelly. It was clear that issas character was annoyed by Amandas character 🤷🏽‍♀️

I completely agree. I went to read the comments on the Shay Shay interview and most people were siding with Amanda Seals. We are living in the Twilight Zone I'm sure of it

@@thebolbI seen ppl disagreeing with her and wishing that she’d shut up

@@thebolb I side with her on the Issa thing definitely. Issa feels like she's someone who wants to be tight with her cast and I think if Yvonne, Jay, or Kendrick (Nathan in the show) were kicked out of a party or were beefing with her publicist she's absolutely step in. So something told me she really wasn't feeling Amanda. It's giving Issa let the publicist take the fall for her true feelings but playing in Amanda's face like they're good. Nope, tell her what it is or write off her character if you can't deal. I suppose it's hard to justify disliking someone when they've never done anything ethically wrong to you, y'all just don't vibe.

Weaponizibg a disability she doesn't even know she truly has. Amanda needs to get a professional diagnosis.

Did you say the same about Katt Williams if you watched.

@@FIT2BETIED100 no bc katt doesnt sit on ig all day creating chaos and confusion and constantly doing interviews about other ppl. His interview with shannon was his primary one swinging back on ppl who wrote him off and called him crazy and crackhead. ALL amanda does is find fault and come in super hard and mean about everything. She trashed the view when she left. No friends from insecure and on and on. She's never wrong or accountable just the know it all victim. Its exhausting for those who can support some of what she says. She has valid points sometimes, but her delivery muddies the message.

@@eebz5 Hi there! I respect your opinion and can see why you feel like you do. Many of Amanda's personality traits rub people, such as yourself, the wrong way. However, I can't entirely agree with your assessment of how Kat Williams is different. It's interesting to note that when a man such as Katt Williams expresses his opinions with a harsh and aggressive delivery, he is often seen as confident, assertive, and "speaking the truth" (without any concrete evidence other than his words). However, when a woman (especially a black woman) does the same thing, she is often criticized as being a "professional victim," hostile, and "always complaining." This double standard can make it difficult for women to speak out on prominent issues and can reinforce the idea that women should be seen and not heard, and our experiences/feelings are not valid. It's essential to recognize that everyone has a right to express their opinions and that we should judge people based on the content of their message rather than how it is delivered. Have you considered that Amanda uses that delivery because she feels unheard, and her opinions are not taken seriously? Some people feel that Amanda's delivery is necessary to expose social and political issues that should be discussed. Other people give her grace in her delivery because they can empathize with how neurodivergence and ADHD can cause people like Amanda to have blunt deliveries while not emoting like neurotypical people. How would you address those who claim that her outspokenness, despite her abrasive delivery, is a necessary response to societal inequalities?

She’s the female version of Shaun King and most definitely a narc and betting on people’s self righteousness in the form of parasocialism.

Yeah a strong sense of justice is big for neurodivergent folks.

Dirt Nap please

Typical, let's be real.

Issa's father was a doctor, and she grew up in Baldwin Hills. She is literally joking when she calls people Boujie. Lauren London is from the hood and a broken home.

You have to live in Los Angeles to really understand why she speaks like that.People won't get it 😅

😂😂😂

Yikes

Facts!!! They are just untalented people that want to use the victim card and the next victim card and then the next victim card

@@tratrazy1633lol

True but amanda has a libra stellium and she's also a cancer sun cancer moon with a mars in gemini. They clash, because they're very similar.

@@UrbanAlchemystic No she has a stellium w/ sun, moon, and mercury

So I am not a doctor but I read that self diagnosis of neurodivergence is often accepted because a clinical diagnosis is still based on observations that the patient or parent provides. I also read that having a clinical diagnosis of certain neurodivergences can prevent you from doing certain things like travel to certain countries. Again not claiming this is accurate but it may not be as alarming as we think. Do I think it was wise to disclose? No. But yeah… 🤷🏽‍♀️
