Amanda Seales called Tabitha Brown a witch during her interview with her. Tabitha said I'm not a witch and she intentionally called her a witch again. Now, if it had been her, she would have gone off.
Well yes Tabitha is her own person with her own personality just like Me, and you would respond differently. I would feel flattered if someone called me a witch because I do study herbs.
@92cgray Right. But if someone called you trifling, you would say don't call me that. Then proceed to call you trifling again would be playing in your face.
I enjoyed Melissa's take on this situation she hit the nail on the head explaining the situation and offering her opinion. Thank you for not cutting her off for once! LOL!
Amanda LOOKS for issues in every situation she is in. It’s not right if she can’t find an issue to advocate for. Right or wrong. Why would anyone like someone who walks in a room looking for issues. Sometimes its okay to just come in and enjoy yourself and not look for a soapbox to stand on. Aren’t you tired Mrs. Millie???
Agree. I don’t think she’s a well person at all. She is very smart and talented but needs much better counseling and maybe meds (if she has a therapist and/or doctor). She needs to stop acting like people’s reactions to her are a reflection on black people, black women, light-skinned black women, opinionated and strong women, people on the spectrum, etc. She represents herself (not well), - not anyone else or large groups of people. She’s unsufferable and needs to focus on her own healing. Also, Shannon didn’t say she was wrong. He said he had a different perspective - he validated her but also offered another perspective. She just can’t handle non-yes people. Feels almost like narcissism to me. Holds everyone else accountable for any little flaw and wants validation, grace, protection, etc. but doesn’t acknowledge her part in relationship DYNAMICS. A self-proclaimed “emotionally intelligent” person can take a step back and look at situations from all viewpoints.

@@possiblymaybe6711the fact that once she feels wronged she doesnt allow for the possibility of misunderstanding or anything she automatically feels validated.
But if you’re actually listening to what she is holding them accountable for she does. For example the man telling HR she called him a 🥷 lol she apologized but I got her point of they literally say N word on the show. I get her saying she didn’t realize he would be so offended. She tried to leave the party once she was told she was no longer invited and able to come inside but others kept her there because they wanted her in the party.
She's the female Sheldon Cooper and doesn't realise it. Everything is always someone's else's fault and she's always has to be the smartest in the room.
I love how Mel was giving a chance to speak . Mel is very intelligent , well versed in many issues . Let her talk more. She brings a much needed perspective
As a employee of an special education agency, an autistic diagnosis doesn’t cost $10k. It’s free for kids through early intervention & through private costs? $350 MAX. You can’t self diagnose.
@@Vanessa-iq3vt this is not true at all. As I live in Nj & work in NYC. How do I know this? I get to see the billing for psych evals. You can simply google an ASD assessment evaluation via a psychologist. Call them & ask them. It’s an hour exam. Nobody will charge you $5k. They will lose their job. Don’t give out wrong info to defend her. She is wrong. At the max it’s $500 insurance or cash
Amanda lived on my block in Brooklyn after her Suny Purchase days. And I agree with everything Joe just said. And I have been saying the same exact thing about her for years. Something happened to her in her career because this is not the same woman I met and spoke with in 2002. Industry definitely had a negative effect on her. She was mad cool, extremely energetic and positive. Was nice to niggas no matter if u were outside hustling, working or just chilling in the park or on some benches.
Every time Amanda Seales gets involved in something, Drama ensues. Its always someone being jealous of her, its someone being mean to her for no reason, its someone being intimidated by her. Club Shay Shay has been interviewing Guests for almost 3 years and of all different backgrounds. Now all of a sudden he doesnt provide a safe space for her. GTFO with the BS. She is a perpetual victim and is exhausting to be around. And she will never change cuz idiots give her a platform and enable her foolishness
It's annoying when you are telling a story and someone trys to invalidate it. "I went to the Gucci store yesterday and they followed me around the store and said it might be to expensive for me" Shannon "hey maybe they were on commission and followed you to grt the sale, hey maybe they were rude because they going through a divorce! 🕺🕺🕺🕺"
@@ANTIStraussianShannon asked questions like he did with ALL of his other guests. She took that as him coming at her and got defensive about things. He never once “invalidated” anything. If every answer out her mouth is “idk why they don’t like me” or “racism” then it’s kinda leads a person to probe more cause everything can’t be everyone else’s fault ALLLLLLLLL the time.
@@ANTIStraussianit is foolish to just take anything someone tells you at face value and not ask for context. Amanda is the type to say “I got bit by a snake” Any logical person: “Im sorry to hear that. What happened? Did you not see it, were you messing with it, did it hide in the bushes then attack you?” Amanda: I cant believe you are invalidating my experiences and not giving me to live my truth. 😑 We just want context! If you’re going to tell a story about a pretty traumatic or crazy event, people are going to want details. Every scenario she spoke of it was always someone’s fault for not liking her for no reason and we all know in life that makes you look suspect as a person.
@@ikexbankaiAre you slow? If you are playing like you're slow to defend Amanda it ain't cute. You know d@mn well you can be tired of someone without being around them personally. You can find PUBLIC FIGURES exhausting.
I've been told the same thing but typically people who were uneducated as barely passing student or early dropout. Usually because they don't understand the big or college word you have used. They still give you words to learn in college like elementary school.
And this is what happens when I society doesn’t adjust to people from all backgrounds and has a respectability policy that neurodivergent people dont always pick up on or can follow. Its like telling a blind person to look both ways before crossing the street. Impossible and insensitive
@@414awillyeah she has no balance at all, when it comes to human interaction. Her glass is basically always full, because there's a blockage in her brain. That refuses to see the other side of things. And understand not everyone is trying to manipulate you or cause you harm. It's basically like fight or flight mode, is always on.
She doesn't come across as anything besides someone on the spectrum who needs to be given a little bit more understanding. I don't understand why that is so hard for people to understand your ignorance is condescending. Her unwavering honest candor is not condescending. it's just not what you're used to, try to put her in a box and label her something negative which is sad
@@ohmalsbroken How many ppl do you deal with on the spectrum daily to be able to make that assessment? Also, 2 things can be true. Just because you’re telling the truth about something or educating someone about something, doesn’t mean you can’t be condescending. Happens all the time
Agreed. And they are both at a level in their lives/careers in which likeminded people/women can form an ownership and influence as far as independent projects go. While there’s a large audience who feel a way about Amanda, she still has a perspective. They’re talking about her and she would be “smart” to ride the wave. 🌊
That’s a heavy statement when you have people who do so much worst she’s done a lot of good for the community and culture her actions may not convey the best but she has good intentions for our community
100%. I became continually more drained and low-vibe as I watched the interview but also couldn’t look away. It was triggering and fascinating somehow. It was a good reminder to me that even if you do have cause to be angry - and I have in my career and the hospital systems I’ve worked - her approach is never effective and it’s certainly not strategic. The only thing that ever seems to help is to focus on your own healing and keeping your eye on what you’re trying to achieve. And creating better relationships and gathering allies. Everything else is just distraction and only hurts yourself. It honestly was a good reminder for me. I hope someone can get through to her and she can get the help she clearly (to me) needs.
I’m so sick of Amanda Seales. She is the type of person to throw a rock and hide her hands. Her energy/demeanor is so awkward and is a big turn off. She gets what she puts out there. 🤷🏾♂️
If her mother was from Grenada then she should understand that being mouthy and correcting adults is wrong and is not endorsed in the carribean community it's actually looked down on
And so is miseducation and rewriting of history. But society has you focused on being agreeable dummies rather than intelligent people with something to offer no matter the age. The world is in shambles
@@414awill that's her take who knows if that's what the teacher was saying you can always learn the truth yourself and stop relying on public education to teach you
This was the most fair yet empathic responses to that podcast. So many ppl dogged her out but like yall gave criticisms from a productive understanding perspective. I think its because yall in the industry. Everyone else was commentators from various other industries and they basement.
Thank you for being thoughtful and kind in the discussion of your take on Amanda Sealed. It's easy to dump on someone, people have been having a field day in that woman! Can't lie I was braced for y'all to, as well. 👏🏾💐
@@raqui174yes. That’s exactly it. Just because they start young with the “isms” and “phobias” does not mean they dont exist. If a 9 yr old kills someone, are they not a murderer?
@@Jojo-pv3ufyou’re ridiculous. It is racist period. No one is saying send them to jail but it doesn’t diminish the impact that has on a black child to experience this. Wtf is wrong with yall
@@possiblymaybe6711 kids are mean, stop making it seem like kids are against black kids. I am black and when i came from Africa, i was bullied for my race and skin tone by African American kids. I didn’t think of it as racism, just kids being mean.
Her problem is people don’t care what her message is because they’re too concerned about her tone & that’s why she’s overly angry. Glad Joe brought that up because he too has been through what she’s going through.
Amanda was not wrong questing her teachers. Considering the education system been lying on our people for generations. Amanda was wrong for many things but that teachers situation rings heavy in the black community
Exactly! He actually said he was offering a different perspective. He wasn’t invalidating her at all. He even acknowledged his experience might be different than hers. The fact that she can’t handle even that - I felt he was actually pretty understanding - then she for sure proved that her “truth” in all her conflicts is not to be trusted.
@@tanja0411 exactly! he even complimented her on night cap. These people don’t do they research half way watch things and give their opinion just stupid.
@@deeelisa1890they used their word but I agree this was more empathetic and respectful analysis of the interview. They didn’t agree with Amanda but I didn’t feel they were dog piling on her like everyone has been doing. It’s ok to not like her but I wish ppl would not just write her off and actually discuss what was talked about like they did.
In the end for that little segment it seems like Joe Budden was the only one that empathize and understood Amands Seales. His critique was well received to me and handled a little better amongst the rest of them.
Joe was a real friend in this segment and that’s what Amanda is missing. She needs to reevaluate her circle because somebody has to show her where she got things all the way fugged up.
Right here at 3’02” he states, “I don’t think Shannon sharpe was wrong when he was explaining to her ……” that’s the issue, though, Shannon does not get to explain to someone about that person’s childhood experiences.
I’m sorry but if someone say things racially you can’t say it’s not racist. If someone calls me a N word it don’t matter if kids are being bad kids, that is racial to the kid experiencing it.
@@TheRealHousewifeOfPG if you listened to the interview there were other instances also. You all act like grown ppl can’t be racist to kids cuz they are a teacher. Y’all act like it wasn’t grown ppl shouting and threatening Ruby Bridges during integration. TF
Watching them comment on an interview that they didnt watch in its entirety is laughable...This was her exact point...People take small moments and define an entire situation... if yall gonna talk about an interview at least watch it smh
I think if it was a monologue.... her podcast or a one woman play I would go with that. this was an interview... a conversation. its expected that there are follow up questions. any question, which were valid, were met with... a wounded ego. it was weird. he wasn't dismissive and after one time being asked a simple question, she couldnt rebound. she was STUCK all the way in her feelings.she too old for that.
@@jusletursoulglobabythank you. I mean, she agreed to be on his show where she should expect follow up questions. If she can't handle those questions, then don't go on the show. Given her intelligence, i would imagine she did her research on the interviewer and knew what she was walking into. She has her own platforms to give her life story.
@@udawg05 it was weird and unfortunate but......well we know academic intelligence and emotional intelligence are two totally different things. she showed that. the "I'm an expert" so basically dont question me energy had me thinking, oh.. you thought this was Small Doses at Club Shay Shay?
Amanda Seales point was why didn't Shannon hold Katt Williams to the same standards. Like you didn't call him out on his bs! Let me spin my narrative in peace in the way you let him😂😂😂
"I will treat you fair but not equal." He let Monique getaway with a bunch of shit too. Who is Amanda Seales and why does she deserve so much deference?
What did he call Katt out on? He was agreeing with everything Katt said only thing he rebuttal was when Katt asked him why he didn't say anything to the other people@@Simsdee
Another horrible take , the moment they said “we watched clips “ I knew none of their opinions wasn’t valid but they was going to try to give an opinion anyway and BINGO , of course it’ll be in favor of Shannon Sharpe . Lmao
People confuse education with intelligence. I believe to be intelligent is the ability to communicate with the so-called common man as well as your peers. To assume that you are more intelligent than someone because of your education is in fact hubris. But what do I know 🤔 I'm a drop out. 😅😅😅😅
50/50 for me. This group is definitely a tribe called quest because they want to know the scenario rather than the context. She was not politically correct, but the school question was not about math or science. It was about history and a particular group of people that were being mentioned by name as the lowest point of human evolution. It was incorrect and honestly, she should have pointed it out. I think the context matters MORE than the scenario. Do an episode on eugenics and educate yourselves and the public.
The teacher & kid example’s weren’t the best things to focus on because she was the only black kid inside of an all white classroom so it’s a little hard to say that she was reading too deep into that situation given that she was an honor roll student yet the teacher called a parent teacher conference with her.
I think if u talk down to people you aren’t as smart as you believe almost everyone is inclined in a way but if you can’t benefit from your intelligence what is it worth honestly
Yall defending Shannon being ignorant is hilarious. Just admit his level of competency is not that of Amanda seales or any other academic for that matter.
I think the issue with the teacher and kids racism thing is you didn’t live her life, so to tell her no that’s not racism is absolutely crazy! There’s no denying those kids were racist to her rather they fully understood what they were doing she’s still the black girl on the receiving end that experienced racism. It’s a bit of gaslighting to tell someone you don’t know that they didn’t experience racism.
in fairness, a lot of stuff do be racist. people shouldn't dismiss that part bc the overwhelming majority of times, she on point. the self diagnosis.... I cant even.
No his actions vary from who's on his show from whether he likes them or not. Whether he's friends with the person that is talking about. Because he tried the same mess with Monique and she handled him and some of that stuff went over his head too. Plus, Monique definitely bought her receipt and Shannon heard them even though he tried to play devil's advocate😂.
She got mad when he defended randoms he never met rather than honor the guest he is interviewing and if nothing else just move to the next question without a rebuttal and excuse for racists. A simple “wow that sounds like a crazy experience, let’s move to something else” would have sufficed. But instead it was “the teacher nor racist, the student not racist, people not racist”
@@414awill that’s your interpretation. He didn’t defend randoms - he literally had a different perspective on the situation. If she knew anything about him or cared to understand a different viewpoint she could have engaged with him and had a really interesting and productive discussion. But she’s unable to do that with anyone because of her anger and defensiveness. She always demands so much validation and perfect behavior from others and then throws a fit and attacks them when she doesn’t get it. Did she ever consider another black person might have a different experience and she could be interested in that? Just like the autism conversation. She didn’t get diagnosed “because, you know, racism.” Actually no. It’s under diagnosed for so many people because it’s difficult to diagnose if you’re on the lower end of the spectrum. And for women in particular because we present differently. Not everything is some big plot against her and I think Shannon was trying to figure out how to have that convo but didn’t feel safe enough asking her. So you think she’d be a good interview guest. She was putting on a show rather than having a two-sided conversation. When did she show she cares about him? Other guests come in and are excited/happy to talk to him. Respect shown is respect given and she doesn’t do that to people. Most of all she is unable to take a step back and see all parts in a relationship dynamic and meet the other person halfway. I’m sure she’s had difficult experiences and she’s been wronged. We ALL have but it’s up to us how we deal with all that and move forward. What she doing is not helpful to anyone, particularly to herself. It’s irritating to see people blame Shannon Sharpe. It’s valid to not like him but he didn’t treat her any differently. But - just like all her other “conflicts” her attitude makes progress hard. Unless you admire or agree with her of course. You don’t think that would make a 3 hour interview very very difficult? He took a step back too and told her he wasn’t going to interject anymore - that’s self-awareness. When has she given that grace to others? To me it’s sad. Just my opinion.
i appreciated the care each of yall took to discuss this. and it was insightful. hearing from speak as a person from a experience helped put this in perspective. i wish amanda well. but that interview was exhausting for the most part 😮💨
She has a victim complex. She’s talking a bout all of the bad things that have happened to her, but for some reason, she’s never the problem. Everybody else is the problem.
Melyssa is equal parts gorgeous and well-spoken here 🥵. This is the best discourse I've seen on Amanda. Everybody's contribution was constructive and thought-provoking.
Club Shay Shay just proved Amanda Seales was correct about how people perceived her. Shannon was totally disrespectful to her. Amanda keeps on rocking because the world will not open its minds they will only jump on the bandwagon of negativity!
Doesn’t really work that way tbh. Having someone else tell you what you are doesn’t change what you are. Just makes someone else accept it. Point is, if she’s in the spectrum, all her experiences could be what she’s saying. Sounds like she just never had anyone listen to her and she’s fighting to be understood. Which causes a bunch of other issues on top of if she’s on the spectrum or not.
@@papiramen5915if thats the case we all can make claims of being on the spectrum to justify our crappy attitudes or moments. There is a reason we have professionals who go to learn about the body, medicine, advanced sciences so that we dont have random joes just making things up when does or doesnt suit them
@@papiramen5915 the key being IF she’s on the spectrum. There are too many nuances on the spectrum for her to diagnose herself. She has no expertise to diagnose autism. That’s not even debatable.
she still has a 20 city syndicated radio show, successful podcast, author, and comedian who tours. Also was one of the 4 leads on this generation’s most notorious sitcom. So, yes. Bc they dont promote her lol
So the ENTIRE industry is wrong about Amanda?? 😂😂😂😂😂 Her reputation is all her fault. And reputation spreads faster than wild fire within the industry!
Remember Joe had a bad reputation too. Even up to Rory and Mal fallout. Yet he still has people that think highly of him and so does she. Or else she wouldn’t have last 5 seasons on the best Black sitcom of this generation and still be on the radios of people across 20 major markets in the country (among other things)
Shannon was dismissive. Instead of listening to the experience he asserted himself without consideration for her LIVED moments, instead deciding to insert himself. The implications to her positionality as a women, Black women, expressive, etc. are reduced to a trope, diagnosis, stereotype instead of just listening. It’s a panel taking up space feeling entitled to insert themselves when there is no active listening and horrible critical thought.
This was an interview where questions are going to be asked and different takes are offered. That's what an interview is. She has her own platforms to give a monologueof she wants. If he ego is bruised so quickly by questions, then don't give interviews until you're ready for dialogue.
@@udawg05 exactly what kind of logic is that? Since when is an interview within those rigid constraints. It’s easy to reduce the circumstance as some par for the course BS based on some made up/convenient arbitrary rules regarding “tHaT’s WhAt InTeRvIeW iS”. She can respond how she felt accordingly, and Shannon could too.
I thought I was the only one. She seems to have been through a lot & that makes her how she is. Sometimes you got to find out the hard way that the only person you can depend on is yourself!
I love her, no excuses has to be given for her spirit of excellence.. ppl apparently feel threatened by her intelligence and zest for truth accuracy and education.. She’s firm and direct. This opposition kills me.. She’s not disrespectful at all. Her brilliance can’t be tamed. Why, what for? You’re assuming she has a bad disposition. Ppl in powerful places do not like having a smarter person than them in the room. This is Truth! Stop using these negative adjectives to describe her. You’re perpetuating the same negative narrative by repeating what’s she’s been accused of. Just Stop!
Shannon did not say that she was wrong. Shannon offered her an alternative perspective.
Thank you! I was looking for this comment. And he actually acknowledged that’s what he was doing. Maddening. There’s so much bad and racist and misogynist behavior out there - why do we always have to look for it when for once it’s not present. It takes away from progress

Or the issues just fall into her lap I mean I am shy so I won’t address when someone wrongs me but I appreciate Amanda does.
I agree with that. If you are always looking for an issue to rage about you will find one!!!!
Amanda seales is Amanda seales biggest problem. She’s a perpetual victim and takes zero accountability for her actions.
Agree. I don’t think she’s a well person at all. She is very smart and talented but needs much better counseling and maybe meds (if she has a therapist and/or doctor). She needs to stop acting like people’s reactions to her are a reflection on black people, black women, light-skinned black women, opinionated and strong women, people on the spectrum, etc. She represents herself (not well), - not anyone else or large groups of people. She’s unsufferable and needs to focus on her own healing.
Also, Shannon didn’t say she was wrong. He said he had a different perspective - he validated her but also offered another perspective. She just can’t handle non-yes people. Feels almost like narcissism to me. Holds everyone else accountable for any little flaw and wants validation, grace, protection, etc. but doesn’t acknowledge her part in relationship DYNAMICS.

Great awareness and I’m not going to assume anything about you the way you did me but you both seem pretty aligned on the front of not being able to handle other perspectives and resort to personally attacking. I don’t value your perspective based on your comment at all. Enjoy all your assumptions and delusion. ✌️
@@possiblymaybe6711believe it Amanda 😂
She holds others accountable and isn't afraid to speak her mind (often), but she refuses to hold herself accountable.
Amen
What did she do that you need her to hold herself accountable for?
@@possiblymaybe6711her attitude and approach around and towards others
@@possiblymaybe6711the fact that once she feels wronged she doesnt allow for the possibility of misunderstanding or anything she automatically feels validated.
But if you’re actually listening to what she is holding them accountable for she does. For example the man telling HR she called him a 🥷 lol she apologized but I got her point of they literally say N word on the show. I get her saying she didn’t realize he would be so offended. She tried to leave the party once she was told she was no longer invited and able to come inside but others kept her there because they wanted her in the party.
She's the female Sheldon Cooper and doesn't realise it. Everything is always someone's else's fault and she's always has to be the smartest in the room.
Perfect Example
Well Sheldon was high functioning on the spectrum so I guess she watched the show for her research which led to self diagnosis lol
She would probably be really happy with that comparison
I’ve been thinking this for a while. She is
But wasn't Sheldon actually a genius? Amanda isn't always right or that knowledgeable on the topics she rants about.
I love how Mel was giving a chance to speak . Mel is very intelligent , well versed in many issues . Let her talk more. She brings a much needed perspective
Yeah.... Maybe Mel should interview Amanda next time.
That wont go like you think
As a employee of an special education agency, an autistic diagnosis doesn’t cost $10k. It’s free for kids through early intervention & through private costs? $350 MAX. You can’t self diagnose.
That's if you're a kid? What about if you're an adult
Once u age out in a premium cost city for ex, it’s about 5k at base and could vary based on needs.
Amanda is a member of the Screen Actors Guild which means she has insurance. @@Unbelievable6348

Amanda lived on my block in Brooklyn after her Suny Purchase days. And I agree with everything Joe just said. And I have been saying the same exact thing about her for years. Something happened to her in her career because this is not the same woman I met and spoke with in 2002. Industry definitely had a negative effect on her. She was mad cool, extremely energetic and positive. Was nice to niggas no matter if u were outside hustling, working or just chilling in the park or on some benches.
who's to say it changed her, she probably still the same person when she isn't talking about these type of things, i hope so anyway
Yea I was thinking the same thing!! Like I really wanna know what happened that messed her up so much?
Every time Amanda Seales gets involved in something, Drama ensues. Its always someone being jealous of her, its someone being mean to her for no reason, its someone being intimidated by her. Club Shay Shay has been interviewing Guests for almost 3 years and of all different backgrounds. Now all of a sudden he doesnt provide a safe space for her. GTFO with the BS.
She is a perpetual victim and is exhausting to be around. And she will never change cuz idiots give her a platform and enable her foolishness
Have ever been around her though? To say someone is exhausting to be around when you haven’t been around them is MAD WILD
It's annoying when you are telling a story and someone trys to invalidate it.
"I went to the Gucci store yesterday and they followed me around the store and said it might be to expensive for me"
Shannon "hey maybe they were on commission and followed you to grt the sale, hey maybe they were rude because they going through a divorce! 🕺🕺🕺🕺"
@@ANTIStraussianShannon asked questions like he did with ALL of his other guests. She took that as him coming at her and got defensive about things. He never once “invalidated” anything. If every answer out her mouth is “idk why they don’t like me” or “racism” then it’s kinda leads a person to probe more cause everything can’t be everyone else’s fault ALLLLLLLLL the time.
@@ANTIStraussianit is foolish to just take anything someone tells you at face value and not ask for context. Amanda is the type to say “I got bit by a snake”
Any logical person: “Im sorry to hear that. What happened? Did you not see it, were you messing with it, did it hide in the bushes then attack you?”
Amanda: I cant believe you are invalidating my experiences and not giving me to live my truth. 😑
We just want context! If you’re going to tell a story about a pretty traumatic or crazy event, people are going to want details. Every scenario she spoke of it was always someone’s fault for not liking her for no reason and we all know in life that makes you look suspect as a person.

Her tone gets her in trouble. It’s simple. She comes off condescending.
I've been told the same thing but typically people who were uneducated as barely passing student or early dropout. Usually because they don't understand the big or college word you have used. They still give you words to learn in college like elementary school.
And this is what happens when I society doesn’t adjust to people from all backgrounds and has a respectability policy that neurodivergent people dont always pick up on or can follow. Its like telling a blind person to look both ways before crossing the street. Impossible and insensitive
@@414awillyeah she has no balance at all, when it comes to human interaction. Her glass is basically always full, because there's a blockage in her brain. That refuses to see the other side of things. And understand not everyone is trying to manipulate you or cause you harm. It's basically like fight or flight mode, is always on.
She doesn't come across as anything besides someone on the spectrum who needs to be given a little bit more understanding. I don't understand why that is so hard for people to understand your ignorance is condescending. Her unwavering honest candor is not condescending. it's just not what you're used to, try to put her in a box and label her something negative which is sad
@@ohmalsbroken How many ppl do you deal with on the spectrum daily to be able to make that assessment? Also, 2 things can be true. Just because you’re telling the truth about something or educating someone about something, doesn’t mean you can’t be condescending. Happens all the time

100%. I became continually more drained and low-vibe as I watched the interview but also couldn’t look away. It was triggering and fascinating somehow. It was a good reminder to me that even if you do have cause to be angry - and I have in my career and the hospital systems I’ve worked - her approach is never effective and it’s certainly not strategic. The only thing that ever seems to help is to focus on your own healing and keeping your eye on what you’re trying to achieve. And creating better relationships and gathering allies. Everything else is just distraction and only hurts yourself. It honestly was a good reminder for me. I hope someone can get through to her and she can get the help she clearly (to me) needs.
The irony of it all is that she played on a show called "Insecure." 🤣
I’m so sick of Amanda Seales. She is the type of person to throw a rock and hide her hands. Her energy/demeanor is so awkward and is a big turn off. She gets what she puts out there. 🤷🏾♂️
I love how Melissa Ford broke that interview down
Because she was the only one who cared to be prepared to talk about it by watching the interview in it’s entirety
I wonder if Amanda stops and thinks “…it can’t be everyone else”
If her mother was from Grenada then she should understand that being mouthy and correcting adults is wrong and is not endorsed in the carribean community it's actually looked down on

She was invited by a guest and not the host. That is why she got bounced.
“IT CANT JUST BE EVERYBODY”
That’s the real question for Amanda.
Y’all should invite her into the show! She needs to be a part of this conversation because yall are missing it big time!!
This was the most fair yet empathic responses to that podcast. So many ppl dogged her out but like yall gave criticisms from a productive understanding perspective. I think its because yall in the industry. Everyone else was commentators from various other industries and they basement.

Melissa unc didn’t say it was wrong! he said do you think maybe it’s because you were a child.
Exactly! He actually said he was offering a different perspective. He wasn’t invalidating her at all. He even acknowledged his experience might be different than hers. The fact that she can’t handle even that - I felt he was actually pretty understanding - then she for sure proved that her “truth” in all her conflicts is not to be trusted.

In the end for that little segment it seems like Joe Budden was the only one that empathize and understood Amands Seales. His critique was well received to me and handled a little better amongst the rest of them.
Joe was a real friend in this segment and that’s what Amanda is missing. She needs to reevaluate her circle because somebody has to show her where she got things all the way fugged up.
I don’t agree in the beginning Shannon immediately tried to be little her.
Agreed especially with children being racist part. Racism is taught.
Loved Mel’s take on the Seales interview
I’m tired of people saying she’s intelligent what has she done that’s so intelligent?

Right here at 3’02” he states, “I don’t think Shannon sharpe was wrong when he was explaining to her ……” that’s the issue, though, Shannon does not get to explain to someone about that person’s childhood experiences.
I’m sorry but if someone say things racially you can’t say it’s not racist. If someone calls me a N word it don’t matter if kids are being bad kids, that is racial to the kid experiencing it.

If you step out of your lane as a child, an adult is gonna find you disrespectful if that adult is racist or not.

They dont wanna have that discussion though
There are different interview styles. Some interviewers try to make it conversational, while others just ask questions and let the person talk.
My brother has a PhD and he thinks he's smarter than everyone and he speaks to people that way
AMANDA SEALES DISCUSSED HER LIFE EXPERIENCES WHILE SHANNON WAS VERY DISMISSIVE AND HAD AN EXCUSE FOR EVERY SITUATION SHE SPOKE OF.
An excuse or different lens to look through?
I think if it was a monologue.... her podcast or a one woman play I would go with that. this was an interview... a conversation. its expected that there are follow up questions. any question, which were valid, were met with... a wounded ego. it was weird. he wasn't dismissive and after one time being asked a simple question, she couldnt rebound. she was STUCK all the way in her feelings.she too old for that.
@@jusletursoulglobabythank you. I mean, she agreed to be on his show where she should expect follow up questions. If she can't handle those questions, then don't go on the show.

He did call out Katt and play Devil's advocate to some of his comments
"I will treat you fair but not equal." He let Monique getaway with a bunch of shit too. Who is Amanda Seales and why does she deserve so much deference?

Katt was too quick with his, Amanda wasn’t that’s the difference 😂
Another horrible take , the moment they said “we watched clips “ I knew none of their opinions wasn’t valid but they was going to try to give an opinion anyway and BINGO , of course it’ll be in favor of Shannon Sharpe . Lmao
People confuse education with intelligence. I believe to be intelligent is the ability to communicate with the so-called common man as well as your peers. To assume that you are more intelligent than someone because of your education is in fact hubris. But what do I know 🤔 I'm a drop out. 😅😅😅😅
50/50 for me. This group is definitely a tribe called quest because they want to know the scenario rather than the context. She was not politically correct, but the school question was not about math or science. It was about history and a particular group of people that were being mentioned by name as the lowest point of human evolution. It was incorrect and honestly, she should have pointed it out. I think the context matters MORE than the scenario. Do an episode on eugenics and educate yourselves and the public.
“Did any of you watch the interview?”
Collective mumbles…. Some, No, clips, I saw a little… 😂🤣😂 These brothers don’t do research for sh*t 😂.
Amanda Seales is the female dame Dash
Great conversation! I really enjoyed listening to everyone’s perspective. Spot on!
Amanda seales the professional victim lol
Professional!? Hall of Famer!
The teacher & kid example’s weren’t the best things to focus on because she was the only black kid inside of an all white classroom so it’s a little hard to say that she was reading too deep into that situation given that she was an honor roll student yet the teacher called a parent teacher conference with her.

Yall defending Shannon being ignorant is hilarious. Just admit his level of competency is not that of Amanda seales or any other academic for that matter.
What was he being ignorant about?
Being ignorant and incompetent are two different things, you should know better.
So why would she go on the show that’s hosted by such an ignorant person
Thank you Joe for the breakdowns. Everyone is different and life experience shape a person. Please give Amanda grace
I think the issue with the teacher and kids racism thing is you didn’t live her life, so to tell her no that’s not racism is absolutely crazy! There’s no denying those kids were racist to her rather they fully understood what they were doing she’s still the black girl on the receiving end that experienced racism. It’s a bit of gaslighting to tell someone you don’t know that they didn’t experience racism.

@@kilrn4l510 that’s your opinion. I find dude to be annoying asf 🤷🏿♂️
Not the self diagnosis and the wanting everything to be racists and the victimization of her life. She needs to sit down immediately.
in fairness, a lot of stuff do be racist. people shouldn't dismiss that part bc the overwhelming majority of times, she on point.
the self diagnosis.... I cant even.
She got mad when Shannon was not about to trauma bond with her
such a good point. really true
🎯🎯🎯
No his actions vary from who's on his show from whether he likes them or not. Whether he's friends with the person that is talking about. Because he tried the same mess with Monique and she handled him and some of that stuff went over his head too. Plus, Monique definitely bought her receipt and Shannon heard them even though he tried to play devil's advocate😂.
She got mad when he defended randoms he never met rather than honor the guest he is interviewing and if nothing else just move to the next question without a rebuttal and excuse for racists. A simple “wow that sounds like a crazy experience, let’s move to something else” would have sufficed. But instead it was “the teacher nor racist, the student not racist, people not racist”
@@414awill that’s your interpretation. He didn’t defend randoms - he literally had a different perspective on the situation. If she knew anything about him or cared to understand a different viewpoint she could have engaged with him and had a really interesting and productive discussion. But she’s unable to do that with anyone because of her anger and defensiveness. She always demands so much validation and perfect behavior from others and then throws a fit and attacks them when she doesn’t get it. Did she ever consider another black person might have a different experience and she could be interested in that? Just like the autism conversation. She didn’t get diagnosed “because, you know, racism.” Actually no. It’s under diagnosed for so many people because it’s difficult to diagnose if you’re on the lower end of the spectrum. And for women in particular because we present differently. Not everything is some big plot against her and I think Shannon was trying to figure out how to have that convo but didn’t feel safe enough asking her. So you think she’d be a good interview guest. She was putting on a show rather than having a two-sided conversation. When did she show she cares about him? Other guests come in and are excited/happy to talk to him. Respect shown is respect given and she doesn’t do that to people. Most of all she is unable to take a step back and see all parts in a relationship dynamic and meet the other person halfway. I’m sure she’s had difficult experiences and she’s been wronged. We ALL have but it’s up to us how we deal with all that and move forward. What she doing is not helpful to anyone, particularly to herself.
It’s irritating to see people blame Shannon Sharpe. It’s valid to not like him but he didn’t treat her any differently. But - just like all her other “conflicts” her attitude makes progress hard. Unless you admire or agree with her of course. You don’t think that would make a 3 hour interview very very difficult? He took a step back too and told her he wasn’t going to interject anymore - that’s self-awareness. When has she given that grace to others? To me it’s sad. Just my opinion.
i appreciated the care each of yall took to discuss this. and it was insightful. hearing from speak as a person from a experience helped put this in perspective. i wish amanda well. but that interview was exhausting for the most part 😮💨
If you did not watch the full 3 hours to actually give a valued opinion then just don't!
I watched the whole thing (wasted 3 hours) and it was cringe.

She has a victim complex. She’s talking a bout all of the bad things that have happened to her, but for some reason, she’s never the problem. Everybody else is the problem.

Melyssa is equal parts gorgeous and well-spoken here 🥵. This is the best discourse I've seen on Amanda. Everybody's contribution was constructive and thought-provoking.
Club Shay Shay just proved Amanda Seales was correct about how people perceived her. Shannon was totally disrespectful to her. Amanda keeps on rocking because the world will not open its minds they will only jump on the bandwagon of negativity!
No he wasn't. He just quickly peeped all the bs spilling out of her mouth.
I'm about to start calling all my disagreements "pow wows"😂✔️
She also said she's on the spectrum, which affects receptive and expressive communicating
She later said she actually wasn’t diagnosed with autism. She diagnosed herself then used her self diagnosis to excuse her bad behavior.
Doesn’t really work that way tbh. Having someone else tell you what you are doesn’t change what you are. Just makes someone else accept it. Point is, if she’s in the spectrum, all her experiences could be what she’s saying. Sounds like she just never had anyone listen to her and she’s fighting to be understood. Which causes a bunch of other issues on top of if she’s on the spectrum or not.
@@papiramen5915if thats the case we all can make claims of being on the spectrum to justify our crappy attitudes or moments.

@@papiramen5915 the key being IF she’s on the spectrum. There are too many nuances on the spectrum for her to diagnose herself. She has no expertise to diagnose autism. That’s not even debatable.

Shannon was dismissive. Instead of listening to the experience he asserted himself without consideration for her LIVED moments, instead deciding to insert himself. The implications to her positionality as a women, Black women, expressive, etc. are reduced to a trope, diagnosis, stereotype instead of just listening.
