What are your thoughts about Amanda Seales? 🤔
Hi Kiaundra. I loved your review of the interview. I'm also a licensed therapist (LMHC) and even though I did not watch the Shannon Sharpe interview in its entirety, the parts I did see, specifically the self diagnosing with ASD, was a bit concerning. The current phenomenon around Neurodiversity, which I think she referenced during the interview, had me wondering if her lived experiences contributes to the way her brain processes information, how she interacts with others in social setting, etc. is a manifestation of trauma opposed to ASD. Working with people with lived traumatic experiences, I am able to see how their beliefs of "I'm not safe", "I have to protect myself", "I don't trust people" creates conflict in the relationships they are in. And these same individual struggle seeing their role in the conflict. Not trying to diagnose Amanda Seales over here because I certainly can't do so. Like you said, it would have been more appropriate to have shared her symptoms/behaviors with a licensed professional, trained in administering the assessments to confirm, or rule out, a diagnosis of ASD.
@@crystalyndee Thank you for watching and commenting! You said this beautifully. There's soooo many more questions I have about her trauma, ASD, neurodiversity and how she interacts with others.
Thank you for your fair, respectful, and expert thoughts on this matter. You produce great content by the way.
@@charlesw4727 this means more to me than you know. Thank you for your kind words💕
I can’t tell you how disappointed I am in your assessments of the Amanda Seales interview.
Point 1. Amanda has been in therapy for years,but only following a course of treatment for ASD for merely a month.
Point 2. “Your mother is White” is proof positive that ShayShay didn’t do even basic research on his guest.
When Katt asked ShayShay about questioning the lies he was told by other comedians, ShayShay’s response was “I take them at their word, I wasn’t there” … but he pushed back on Amanda’s account of being bullied, on Amanda’s account of racism, and yes, even Amanda’s account of her Autism Spectrum Disorder experiences.
Sometimes you should just listen.
Not judge, listen. I’m perfectly fine with Amanda, in consultation with the psychiatrist and therapists who have treated her for years, coming to this ASD conclusion and formulating a course of treatment. At 40+ I don’t think she needs the blood tests.
Because your experiences differs doesn’t make hers wrong.
#DontBeAShannon.
Intelligence without open mindedness is useless. She is so convinced she that she is right, it actually make her kind of ignorant.
I agree with this perspective🎯
The difference between confidence and arrogance is based on how humble other people believe you are when you are showing off your intelligence and explaining things to people. Amanda is perceived as arrogant because of how high her confidence is. It is difficult to turn all of that energy down. It is possible to shine so bright that you burn other people.
Exactly. I don’t think she’s intelligent at all. How can you be intelligent with 0 self awareness?
@@JamieBleuIn my opinion, arrogance is a warped, low vibrational form of confidence. I’m very confident in myself based upon how well I do professionally and due to other qualities I have. But I also recognize that I must be careful that I don’t low my confidence to degrade into arrogance. I think Amanda would be wise to do the same. I also think the hostility toward people who disagree with her is something that she should work on. In addition, I think she should apologize to the gentleman she lied on.
This the one
Everyone talks about Amanda intelligence, but she is uncomfortably rude and if is intelligent shouldn’t she be aware of her unintelligent behavior.
Great point! I think ppl get intellect confused with emotional intelligence.
...thing is she's smart according to those of whom are in Agreement with the perception of what "smart" is based off of information that one regurgitates. Knowledge is a tool for communicating harmoniously....without domesticating anyone to one's perspective. What people fail to realize is the gain of knowledge, for some, can be a crutch when yuh don't know what to do with it. I personally feel like she's attached to a reflection of being "outspoken" and have taken on the persona of it. Her "knowledge" is what has created the mask of ASD. Let's be real, there's a large part of society who are "on the spectrum", but not to the degree of being considered legitimately Autistic.
She's filled with knowledge but doesn't really appear to have "learned" much from it based on her unwillingness to detach from certain aspects of her agreement with her said "knowledge." The lack of accountability speaks to that.
So....is she smart or is she well read?! 😏
@@iammrscrockettshe’s definitely highly intelligent
@ikexbankai of course. That isn't in question.
It may be difficult to people on the autism spectrum to identify that their behaviors are rude. They may truly believe that they are simply being honest, clear, and concise. Additionally, as a child of parents from the islands, I can tell you that nothing is sugar coated. West Indians say what they say and they're not always ver aware or care how it makes another person feel. So, this could culturally be the way she was raised. In this cultural perspective, there really could be very little accountability taken by the person.
I work in the special education field. She said it costs $10k to get diagnosed for autism. It’s $350 for a private evaluation by a licensed psychologist.
That part! I was like $10K is alot and completely inaccurate🙅🏾♀️
I hope you'll consider subscribing to my channel🎉
I used to work in the field and thought that seemed odd as well. However, Autism is usually diagnosed in children.
Not sure what the process is for adults.
Having said that, that seems quite high for a diagnosis even for an adult.
Maybe it was a cumulative expense. Maybe she had been to several doctors, and the total amount was $10,000.
@@rayz5173 that's a possibility but she should have stated that rather than saying it cost $10K to get assessed
@@KiaundraJackson definitely subscribed!
I’m so glad you spoke on the Autism Spectrum issue. After her speaking on Autism I could not listen to her anymore, I can’t really take her serious. Because she uses big words does not make up extremely intelligent, it just means she a large vocabulary. And there is a such thing as an educated fool.
I completely understand this perspective! Thank you for commenting🎉
EXACTLY!
Amanda is very intelligent and part of that is having a vast vocabulary. It means she is well read, so we should always give credit, where credit is deserved. With that being said , it seems that she lacks common sense and is a narcissist.
I was struggling to understand the black media articles that wrote about her, but after about an hour of this interview I started getting frustrated, because there were some communicative tendencies that felt manipulative, and that can be triggering if you've dealt with narcissistic abuse. I have a hard time with people who use tactics like word salad or the subtext of "I'm just smarter than most people"....... because I spent years around someone who used these tactics to harm people and evade accountability 😬
@@juicyparsons thank you for being here and sharing! I cab completely sew how this could be triggering to many🥺
Regarding the race issue. By Amanda's own admission she was a difficult child to deal with to THIS teacher. That same teacher praised her 3x but as soon as she complained about something Amanda was doing, the teacher is racist. So Shannon's counter statement/argument was logical. He was stating what a large segment of the audience thinking. Great interview with a controversial figure.
Nothing but facts stated here. Thank you for commenting. I hope you'll consider subscribing💕
WHY CANT both be right?
maybe the teacher praised her because Amanda had to bend to what the teacher think is good?
"good slave" was a word. "good employee " in todays language
All teachers in America are racist AF: because the culture is.
NO PART OF SHANNON"S ancestor choose white for 400 years = and here is is 'bending' because he wants to and in in different wealth class.
the strangest thing: this culture hates "brown nosing" or "Karens" but breeds nothing but those behavior through its culture.
You can see this same pattern witn Amanda’s response to her coworkers, and the public. She soaks in every ounce of worship, but the minute someone criticizes her (aka bringing her down to earth from tbe god complex she has) and humanizing her,… she reaches for any salacious excuse for why they are attacking her. “Because she’s light skinned” “because she’s black” “because she’s autistic” “because she’s too smart” “because she speaks proper”… etc etc.
I think this is pretty common with super smart black girls. My sister is pretty much the opposite of Amanda personality wise and pretty much the same thing happened to her in high school and it ended with her not getting into an honors program that she over qualified for. But there is a possibility it wasn’t because she is black because the teacher didn’t say anything racist and he seemed to be liberal but that’s why addressing racism can be so hard. The reason why Amanda’s case is different is because the teacher was LITERALLY teaching racism with regards to native Americans when Amanda Seales corrected her. The context of the teacher being in Florida also adds on to it. Yes the teacher was probably upset that Amanda corrected her but racism was very likely a contributing factor even if it was unconscious.
I believe Amanda was confused as to why Shannon felt it more important to focus on "a child correcting an adult" versus acknowledging that the correction disallowed numerous white students to be misinformed about Black history. Remember many thought we had tails. Also, her adult support system supported her decision to be controversial for a valid purpose.
I think from the onset it was obvious she is easily triggered. Shannon was walking a tightrope with a personality that doesn't accept accountability at all. There was no subject that Shannon was sufficiently well versed in. Kudos to Shannon for even giving her an opportunity to tell her overly one sided stories.
Nothing but facts stated here🙌🏾🎯
💯
Lmao bigfacts 😂
I agree
Finally, someone stating the most obvious and important point, she’s a master at telling overly one sided stories. Shannon did what a normal person would do when someone is telling you a story completely out of context and started at the middle or the end of each interaction.
Just a few points from this interview:
⁃ Her teacher was racist cause she didn't want Amanda talking back and correcting her.
⁃ Her dorm mates in college all hated her because she had a strong mind and was pretty
⁃ The extremely talented Marsha Ambrosius was intimidated of her for no reason and hated on her
⁃ She was expelled from college cause a white student lied on her
⁃ Nickelodeon was racist in the process of her getting another gig
⁃ She now has self-diagnosed autism now that people hate her (but when she was more popular she was just fine)
⁃ She got fired from Sirius radio and it wasn't her fault it was her boss.
⁃ She wasn't allowed into the Emmy's party for no apparent reason.
⁃ The cast of Insecure hated her for no reason
⁃ Issa Rae didn't protect her and didn't like her for no reason
⁃ Issa's publicist hated her for no reason
⁃ Black Enterprise started beef with her for no apparent reason.
⁃ Howard university decided to rescind her interview for no reason
⁃ The cast and executives on "The Real" didn't like her for no reason
⁃ Essence magazine don’t like her, once again for no reason.
⁃ Let’s not forget about her backtracking on her ex Myron Rolle, when she initially accused the neurosurgeon and ex NFL player of harassment
⁃ What about calling Jussie Smollet “Lowkey noble” when even Stevie Wonder could see that boy was lying.
⁃ Then the way she spoke about Shannon Sharp on her live after the interview came out. If Shannon has a issue with her now (which he doesn’t) she’d probably have no idea why once again
No matter how educated she is, this woman has been the problem and constantly plays victim.
Thank you for sharing this! I listed out the same things toward the end of my review when I talked about her lack of accountability.
This is great being written out🎯
💯💯💯
😂😂😂😂 this is perfection
You weren't listening with underdtanding-there were "reasons" for what happened, but the reasons had nothing to do with her. You sound biased against her. I know nothing about Amanda (other than from this interview), but I relate personally to what she said she experienced.
@@Valerie-rb9rw I could care less about Amanda Seales, she has no bearing in my life. I hear what I hear from hear mouth and the majority of the time, I hear a victim with absolutely no accountability.
Not even saying something like “it could perceived to be this way but that wasn’t what I meant”. Just nothing is ever her fault, ever and she doesn’t understand why.
Narcissistic narratives typically follow a predictable pattern: individuals cast themselves as either perpetual victims or heroes, yet consistently overlook their own shortcomings. Amanda is undeniably brilliant-a fact she highlighted repeatedly during the interview-yet her pronounced narcissistic traits are just as clear. It's important to recognize that we all fall somewhere on the narcissistic spectrum, with many highly successful individuals displaying significant levels. Challenges arise when those at the higher end of this spectrum struggle to manage their narcissism effectively. Their behavior can become so conflict-ridden that it severely impacts their interactions with others. Although I am not a mental health professional, I believe Amanda would greatly benefit from a clinical mental heath diagnoses and engaging in targeted therapy to better manage these traits.
Someone else in the comments here talked about a correlation between ASD and Narcissism...and it has me thinking😳
Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you'll consider subscribing🙂
@@KiaundraJacksonif you are equating narcissism with autism then there is a clear question of whether you are a credible mental health professional. The two maybe somewhat similar in behavioral traits but they are utterly different diagnoses for a reason. And I don’t mean to sound like I’m attacking but the utter misinformation about certain things is our community is overwhelmingly and exhausting sometimes.
@@kayb6803 I think thats why the language was *"a correlation"* , and not *the correlation* . All that's saying is there there may be an aspect or trait shared between the two, not that they're necessarily always linked... I feel like @Kiaundra carefully chose those words on purpose......
What brilliance has Amanda displayed? I don’t see the difference between Trump and Amanda Seales.

Shannon said the awkwardness was because of Amanda’s energy in the pre-interview. He said she started the pre-interview off being defensive from the moment they met. He said when he went to greet her he tried to hug her and she told him no I don’t hug. Then he said cool and tried to give her dap and she still was like nope. I can understand not wanting to hug a stranger but it is weird to start an interview being so standoffish, especially considering that she asked for the interview. Surely she could have given him a handshake. But Shannon still complimented her and said that she is very intelligent and well read it’s just that whatever trauma she’s experienced causes her to be guarded with new people until she’s comfortable.
Oh wow! I didn't know all that transpired b4 the interview. I do recall him saying she didn't want to hug....but she eventually hugged him towards the end of the interview
It kind of validates my point of her not thinking ppl are safe because of her past experiences
Sounds like she can with an agenda to me! Otherwise, why come with that type of energy
@michellelovof course she had an agenda its called THE AMANDA SEALES PODCAST😎😎🤣🤣
And I'm the interview she complained about trying to dap one of her ex bosses and he said nope which seemed to offend her 😂
@@healthaton lol great point
I don't get genius level intelligence from Amanda Seals. She is a highly trained communicator and entertainer but nothing she says is brilliant.
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Agreed.
She was definitely too smart for Shannon. That part was true.
@@shayemoore 😲😲😲
She comes across to me like Kanye West. Believes their talent makes them more than they are. The rules apply to everyone.
Exactly! Being black is not monolithic. We have varying degrees of lived experiences within all shades of blackness and varying economic statuses.
🗣Say it louder for the ppl in the back‼️
Thank you! But Amanda doesn’t think so😂
@@KiaundraJackson amen!!
She put it out there that she has autism so that it can justify her behavior. I don’t think she anticipated Unc to ask if she was actually diagnosed by a doctor
I'm soooo glad he did tho!
🎯🎯🎯
She wasn’t. I think that’s why she was so defensive, bc she was shocked she hadn’t anticipated that.
The reason Amanda kept trying to go back to her story was because of two things: 1. She wasn’t actually open to anything anyone else says. That’s why her face and body language was closed off. Basically she WONT be helped.
2. She’s a control freak and didn’t want anyone else to have any level of control.
She’s very difficult. She’s her own worst enemy.
Thank you for sharing on this topic!
I totally agree with this! I find her to be intelligent but just because your intellect is high doesn’t give her a free pass to be a jerk and her self diagnosing herself is pretty offensive to me! My son is now 27 years old and we have been through hell getting him diagnosed and services in SC so I ended up moving to Baltimore where he finally got the help he needed! To me it’s a way for Amanda to explain away why she does what she does. Just like I don’t allow my son to use his Autism as a crutch 🩼 because this world is cruel and will not care the same thing applies to her!! Just floored about that!!
Amanda admitted that her mom allowed her to be free to be herself, to express herself freely. She said even with family, her mother didn’t allow them to interfere with that. She’s extremely educated, but because of her up bringing, she wasn’t really corrected and held accountable when needed. I can’t assume, but it seems like she was always going head to head with everyone and when she didn’t get her way, she became the victim. It’s ok to be “pro black” as long as it’s not offensive and combative, but Amanda is very in your face vocal all the time, which can be intimidating or irritable for some people. Amanda is a leader, but to be a leader of value, you have to be teachable. I think Amanda isn’t autistic, at this point she wants to be diagnostic to give an excuse as to why she’s the way she is, without having to truly change and it would lessen the blow of her ego and people’s views about her. Don’t come calling me a “hater” because I’m a huge fan, way back from def poetry jam. Shannon on the other hand wasn’t prepared for that interview, he was very dismissive at times, combative and gave his opinion based on his lack of understanding and ignorance. He’s NOT a good listener either, just want an answer for his line of questions. Amanda is not the fake type, you either like her or not, but she has to understand that she has to learn to be accountable or no one will want to work or date her long term.
This is a VERY fair response. I love how you acknowledged the positives and negatives.
Thank you for watching and I hope you'll consider subscribing😃
Well said.
Great summary
Aba and Preach broke it down perfectly. The woman is a professional victim. She's NEVER the problem 😂
Thanks for sharing!
And they said it loooong before this interview then repeated it later
@@thevnsdrkangl this is the 1st time I've heard of them. I will check out their channel
I always find i teresting how huge the US is that y'all cant keep up with your content and me in Mozambique Africa, know both platforms 😂@@KiaundraJackson
Aba and Preach are very good content creators. They do have a lot of bad takes though and I've stopped watching them a long time ago because of it.
But very entertaining.
BTW
Great channel you have going here, qll the best
As a Licensed Social Worker with extensive counseling/therapy experience as well, I absolutely appreciate this video. I have said the exact same thing about Shannon having to be careful with his choice of words but being very intelligent himself. He absolutely would not be where he is if he were dumb. Just because he chose not to use elaborate words does not mean he's dumb. He was seeking understanding, which is a strength. He's not a mental health professional, so he rightfully asked for clarification on Autism .. And i appreciate you sharing she's intelligent. This really is not just about her ability to use big words but that she is knowledgeable about a lot. However, the arrogance was not warranted re: her Master's in African African Studies and in other instances. She negates other's opinions in a demeaning way. Accountability, as she takes a long hard look in the mirror and see the common denominator is her, is so needed, but hey, some ppl never get it. Fingers crossed that she doesn't leave this life with a lack of self mastery. And lord not to mention how she speaks of being the bread winner/essentially the provider and head of her relationships. Much inner work to be done. We all need it, but some of us are more active towards this higher elevation and calling than others though....
Thanks for this. 1st time seeing your vids, I'll be bk
You stated nothing but facts here!
I appreciate your perspective. I'm glad you'll be back. I hope you'll consider subscribing🙂
Autism is not a mental health disorder it’s a neurological disorder.
Books are filled with a lot of knowledge, but if you don't know how to express that knowledge with others its useless. ❤
She expresses her book knowledge well. It's just the lived experiences and interactions with others where there's a problem in my opinion
@@KiaundraJackson I guess what I'm saying is if some are getting the wrong vibes from her, is there anything in her intellect that will allow her to look within herself to understand way. It seems that she has had some trauma in her life. She had a privileged life, but was it a happy life. Sometimes we have to visit the pass to understand the present and hope for a better future. I like Amanda, and I hope that she see better days ♥
@@KiaundraJackson Even her book knowledge can be debated if I could be intellectually honest. African American studies are based on pseudoscience and questionable theories. So, she should be more open to debate. 🫶🏾🤷🏽♀️
Very true there's a difference between knowledge and wisdom
She is not intelligent. Having a degree and throwing big words on conversations don’t make someone intelligent..
Being intelligent is also being able to understand others opinions , being able to have an intelligent conversation with “least intelligent” people, being able to maintain good relationships with people , being easy to work with, being able to take an objective critique etc…
An Intelligent person will go see a professional to confirm his self diagnosis etc…
Lets be honest
I think you're referring to emotional intelligence. You can have intellect but have a lower emotional intelligence. I've seen extremely smart ppl have difficulty relating to others, "street smarts" etc
But you are correct about the diagnosis part!
I agree on all points !
I notice she keeps a rotation of words in memory and usually throws them in out of context
@@culturalresponse2447 deleterious lol
When people read a lot the words just pop up in your brain. It’s not on purpose. I have shocked myself multiple times when I randomly use an SAT word I learned in high school when I was a super reading nerd. There are a lot of words I know how to use correctly based on context clues because of how much I used to read as a child.
Nothing she said blew my mind to where I felt she was intelligent. She used big words, that’s all. She does word of the day on her show. She is smart but I highly doubt she is the genius she professes herself to be
Thank you for sharing your perspective!
There are different types of geniuses. People always forget that. She is very likely leaning on the side of artistic genius who is skilled in acting writing language poetry painting and music. Someone else could be a mathematical genius. Someone else could be an athletic genius. Someone else could be an emotional genius who is very good at working with different people. A genius does not have to be smart in every single thing especially in a word where many people are not given the opportunity to truly explore and find out what they are really good at due to poverty or cultural fears.
@@JamieBleu Listen to her interview on the breakfast club. She totes herself as an intelectual genius among a whole bunch of other things. She is a Jack of all trades and the master of none. I don’t see the genius in that. But I see what you are saying. This is definitely not the case with her.
Agreed.
She's smart but she's no genius she's just multi-talented. A genius would have realized by now that the common denominator of people not liking her IS HER.
I appreciate you setting the record straight about the intellect of Shanon. Also, a masters degree doesn’t make you an intellectual person, an expert or a scholar in that field. I thought you’d need to have done something exceptional or remarkable to be an expert or scholar or at least done extensive work in that field.
You make a great point! I think a person can be an expert in the field with additional study/work outside of the degree. A scholar is a different level in my opinion
I work as an intern under a clinical psychologist and she was furious with Seales claiming she has autism!
I completely understand why!
Amanda is Ivy League educated and is constantly seeking information. She isnt just pretending to be smart like a lot of these comments suggest.
Thank you for saying this! I think she's smart like I mentioned in the video. I think ppl have a hard time giving a person credit for something if they don't like them🤷🏾♀️
I have often felt misunderstood like Amanda. Everyone is/was the problem. To this day I have to sit back and think about what part I play in the situation. I have felt that I should be able to be blunt, direct and that no one should give me that same energy. I had to look within because everyone was telling me that I can be intimidating. I do need to tone things down. I tone it down and I seem uninterested. I just had to realize that I’m not for everyone. When I enter into others spaces, I stay low key. I no longer share my true thoughts and feelings with everyone. Basically connect with those that understand and appreciate me. Just need to get my businesses on a consistent flow so that I can get off of these peoples payroll. It ain’t easy being this way.
Thank you for your honesty! I am more direct & blunt too so I completely understand. I don't think you should change who you are but just feedback and others opinions into consideration.
I recently had to do something similar and I'm finding the balance of keeping it real with how others view me
You being blunt &/or direct isn't the issue. It's that you give that energy but don't want that same energy back. That is a you problem.
I felt Sharp was trying to be cool with her by trying to help her see the root of her problems from a different perspective- but she simply could not catch a clue to save her life. She was only prepared to defend herself and didn’t realize that she had a platform and opportunity to set the record straight. And, she did set the record straight - she gave weight to the haters’ claims. Sharp and Amanda were not prepped in a way that guaranteed that she would walk out of this with the type of hype she was looking for. She appears traumatized and is in constant fight or flight mode; almost as if she is crying out for help.
This was very thoughtful! Thank you for watching & commenting respectfully🙌🏾
I think she’d rather be right than happy.
Wheeeewwwwww🎯🙌🏾
At first I thought she may have been lying about the autism diagnosis but I gave her the benefit of the doubt (even thouhgh she really skirted his questions surrounding diagnosis)... but the one thing that I could not get past was when she said someone left a Malcolm X quote in her trailer and she thanked the Insecure cast member by calling a specific name- a term of endearment from her perspective- but from his it felt like unwanted name calling ... this part was super telling because she couldn't say my bad and apologize. She had to make a joke of it as well as basically call the actor out and embarass him for expressing a boundary. No matter what if someone doesn't want to be called by a certain name then you owe an apology plain and simple. But the lack of acknowledgement that she was wrong and had such a hard time apologizing made me realize this could be happening a lot. Also just because a person may have traits of autism does not mean that's what it has to be. There could be undiagnosed personality disorders for example that have overlapping presentations.
Thank you for watching and sharing this perspective🎉
It’s crazy to read these comments. If you guys are upset she is labeling herself and didn’t get professionally diagnosed with autism, why are we unprofessionally diagnosing her with narcissism?
This is actually a great point! You nailed it🎯
If you want the honest answer, it's that autism has been transformed over time into something extremely sympathetic and vague which is even spoke of as "not necessarily a disability" (like "oh if you have a high functioning version you're basically an awkward nerdy genius!"). Meanwhile, the more obvious read on her (that she has a highly functional personality disorder) is a label which is entirely negative and thus undesirable and inconvenient.
Similar example: Elon Musk. It's fun for him to come out as autistic on SNL. Not as fun to come out as having a personality disorder.
Having said that, I think personality disorders should be removed and replaced with much more specific sub-criteria, such as black-and-white thinking (which Amanda rather obviously has) so that people can interact with the more interesting aspects of the diagnosis without gaining an outdated, dismissive and devastating cultural stigma.
I don’t really understand the “Amanda Seales is super smart/intelligent”. How exactly? Can anyone tell me specifically? She has a good command of English? In my world, so do most of my crowd. She said nothing “fresh” or especially smart. I don’t know her but going by this interview, I’m perplexed. She’s condescending and talks down to others. She’s insecure. So what is it?
I'm not sure if you've ever watch any of Shannon Sharpe's other interviews. But from my perspective, this was different because of her knowledge, command of the English language etc
She is highly educated and has zero accountability. I think she overreacted several times and interrupted him constantly.
@@KiaundraJackson none of those is exactly the level of intelligent I keep hearing her flex and brag about, and hear others speak of on her behalf. So, is she intelligent as compared to Shannon? He’s the standard? I’m not even being facetious. And this is almost racial, like “for a black woman…” kind of backhanded compliment. Because I haven’t heard her say anything extraordinary. And truly intelligent people are not condescending ABOUT INTELLIGENCE. They may be in general. Also, intelligent people know how to hold opposing viewpoints. She is completely incapable of this. All hubris and a few big words that are actually part of my everyday vocabulary but I’ve heard people say they had to reach for a dictionary. So, I guess she seems intelligent in a certain class and that’s sad. I’m counting intelligent women, I’m not counting Amanda Seales. So, again, it’s giving “for a black woman…”.
PS: or perhaps it also means “for someone in entertainment”.
@@stanleed.harold5457 yes; she is all that, the latter. As far as highly educated, is this in the number of degrees? Maybe I need to go look up her resume. Cuz most of my circle have postgraduate degrees and do academic work. Going around bragging about our education or intellect is not really a done thing LOL. I also feel that she has interests in specific subjects that are socially relevant and her ability to speak fluently on these make it seem like she has bigger than average brains. I’m really just trying to understand what that narrative is based on.
she's pretty knowledgeable about black history, electoral politics, geopolitical events, that type of thing. She does all the things you said as well, but I don't think it's fair to downplay her education. You may be in circles with other academics, myself and many others arent tho..... I think she could fit into academic circles tho if she would kinda check her ego like you're saying
I really don’t get why everyone thinks she’s so smart asides from her telling us repeatedly … I’m a very well read person, previously an honors student with stem degrees, my husband was also an honors student with an engineering degree and an MBA, I lived in the honors dorms and know a lot of African American overachievers from high school through college and grad school who are MDs , attorneys, engineers, etc. I don’t see where she is so over the top in intellect … she comes across as an average educated person to me ….I’m not getting brilliant… I also don’t think Shannon Sharp’s intellect should be challenged as it has been . I’m wondering if some unconscious bias per his southern accent, anti blackness and featurism is at play.
Great points🙌🏾
This comment section did not disappoint. I’m so happy to see so many people saw this interview for what it was. I’m someone who really wants to support Amanda but it’s very difficult to do that when she behaves the way she does. I do believe she’s intelligent, just not emotionally intelligent. I’ve yet to ever hear Amanda ever say she was wrong about something, or she could have handled something differently. That’s a huge red flag for me
Thank you for watching and commenting! I feel similarly. I would not mind supporting her but not acting like this🙅🏾♀️
@@KiaundraJackson absolutely!! You earned a new sub too. Great perspective ❤️
@@sisiscastle3573 Yaayy! Appreciate you🎉
Maybe you should what her content on her podcasts or interviews she does on her page and with other hosts. She’s always self reflecting and saying how maybe she say things differently or maybe she doesn’t have to say every thought even if she feels like it’s honest.
Smart is commen sense, Knowledge is school...she has a lot of knowledge!
Alot of knowledge but needs to work on emotional intelligence which includes the accountability & self-awareness part
Love this!
She admitted she was never clinically diagnosed. After the initial interview but during the interview, she was really trying to gaslight all of us by saying she was diagnosed. She’s a liar.
Yea, that part was wild to me🤯
She said they edited the part was she specifically said that she was self diagnosed on the show 🤷🏾♀️
@@clodia1834 she’s a liar.
I could be wrong, but Amanda seems to deal with impulsiveness. I don't get narcissistic, but rather, it really feels like gaslighting towards her that makes her appear crazy but Amanda is not crazy. My heart goes out to her.
Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective!
I ❤your perspective because it’s sometimes difficult to find the positive in a person and at the same time you acknowledge having accountability about how you show up in the room. You gave her an overwhelming amount of positive feedback that I didn’t see and that helped me to see I need work.
Thank you for this! I think ppl gave a hard time acknowledge positives in someone they dislike. That's why I started off saying...I'm not for or against her honestly🤷🏾♀️
Kiaundra, this was such an informative and insightful review of the interview. You too are very intelligent, and I love how professional & entertaining you are. Such a good video! 💕
Thank you Dana!!!🥰💕❤️
Amanda mentioned her psychiatrist and therapist in the interview… so she definitely has access to healthcare professionals
Facts‼️
.... and?
@missshante808 Therefore she has INSURANCE and ACCESS to MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS to receive a clinical autism diagnosis. Without having to pay $10k.
Cmon now stop playing dense.
Amanda was annoying AF to watch in the interview. I had to stop and watch something else after about 1.5 hrs of the interview. You are right though, Amanda took ZERO accountability
I almost stopped watching too🙈...NO accountability at all‼️
I watched just that much too. I could not take it. It was very clear she wasn’t going to take any accountability.
I Strongly disagree with you. Why is Amanda Seales annoying AF for sharing her true life ...make it make sense..🙄🤔???
@andyteechannel3634 Sharing your life is one thing. Blaming anything & everything that has happened on other people is another. The latter is annoying af. Made it make sense. Yw
@@andyteechannel3634She can tell her story and still be annoying and/or wrong 🤷🏾♀️
Growth was one of my biggest takeaway from the interview too. With all the stories she told, her lack of growth as a person really stood out to me. The story of her Sirus radio boss telling her to “keep it corporate” when she tried to “dap him up” was a prime example. I can understand a 21 yo on her first job being surprised by that but it’s weird that she has the exact same perspective at 42. I think most adults know that you are expected to be professional at work and not greet your boss like he’s one of the homies. Same with her being upset the guy on the set of Insecure not wanting to be called the N-word and her being offended that a Black boss made her apologize to him. After all these years she should be able to see that when someone asks you not to refer to them a certain way you should just respect, esp. at work. It’s like Amanda has not fully matured into adulthood. I can’t say she hasn’t done any introspection because she said in one of her videos after the interview that after watching herself with Shannon she can understand why people don’t like her but she is not willing to change. She just sounds like a petulant child.
Whew! You nailed this. For her to see why ppl don't like her after the interview, but still feels no need to change is WILD to me. Everybody can't be wrong🤦🏾♀️
This!!! The insecure example also stuck out to me! If it was the other way around with her coworker she would want the same respect of an apology
@@Madameemerald9 that is so true. If someone ever offended her and then said they didn’t mean the apology she would be complaining about that for years and accusing people of being mean to her for no reason again.
@@angelab9171 exactly, she just complained about the security guy in the airport. He was wrong but she wanted everyone to agree with her perspective and some women did not agree with her and she went ballistic.
Great review! I love to see those of us from Compton being successful and thriving. Looking forward to seeing more of your content.
Yessss! CPT all day. Thank you for watching and commenting. I hope you'll subscribe🎉
Serena Williams and Meghan Markle isnt enough? i mean.. like they colonized the colonizers and took back the castle.😂
I am not a big Amanda Seales fan but as I listened to what she was saying her childhood experiences were I saw a lot of my own experiences. It caused me to go and find the autism test and what did I find out... I am more than likely on the spectrum as well.
Wow! Thank you for watching and commenting. I'm glad watching Amanda helped you.
I remember watching her on a yacht party (thrown by Issa) a few years ago with several other celebrities. She was recording on her phone in selfie mode and approaching different people, was really hyped up, singing, dancing and trying to rally everyone to swag surf or whatever. I remember Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade were standing away from the fray enjoying themselves and she was filming them in selfie mode. They participated but you could see from their body language that they had had enough and she didn't appear to pick up on that soon enough. As someone who can be socially awkward at times myself it was cringe to watch, she just kept going from group to group in an attempt to be the "party starter"
Wow! Thank you for watching and sharing this story. It was insightful!
I am a fan of Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay. I watched his podcast before Katt William's. I have watched most of them. Amanda's probably has been problematic, considering she has bashed him royally after asking to be on His show. I had never really heard of Amanda except thru controversial "problematic" clips and being on the breakdast club. I watched more than half of the interview. I thought it was good. I thought both Shannon and Amanda were both resilient through the difficult parts. Now, Amanda states she didn't feel safe. Why didn't she leave than? Shannon is respectful and wouldn't have continued on against her will. It was weird and toxic to bash him after a 3 hour interview. Amanda appears smart. Anyone can use big words and enlarge their vocabulary all the time. ie Tip TI Harris does it all the time. What does smart mean when you can't introspect, apologize, accept accountability, blame everyone else, hostility, rude and struggle with basic conversation and interpersonal skills??? Amanda may be on the autism spectrum but she is on the narc spectrum as well playing word salad and semantics to justify her not being clinically diagnosed. Her behavior during and after this interview probably didn't do anything for future invites into "black spaces."
You stated this so well. I chuckled when you mentioned T.I.🤣
But you are on point. I'm not sure what other black spaces would be interested in inviting her moving forward
Excellent points!!!!
She was so annoying and condescending to Shannon. Amanda seems like a tough person to get along with in any capacity.
Thank you for sharing your perspective!
5:18 I could not watch the interview past 25 minutes, she was condescending and combative. It was so cringe to watch their exchange.
Definitely was awkward! I only watched the whole thing because I knew I had yo do a video for yall about it lol
I completely appreciate your analysis of this interview 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I hope you'll consider subscribing🙂
I gotta disagree with your assessment of the first 25 mins……Shannon was clearly providing her a platform to express herself, and she took every opportunity to belittle and demean that man, the same way she does with EVERYBODY!!!! Furthermore, using too many words is not smart…..he’s smart enough to make millions talking on Facebook, while Amanda can’t talk on daytime tv w/o making enemies…….🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Valid points made🎯🙌🏾...but the first 25 mins was still awkward to watch no matter what the reason was lol
Thank you for breaking this down in such an objective and judicious manner! I was also thrown off by the first 20 min of the interview and needed to step away but def gonna watch the whole thing now that you’ve summarized it all so helpfully :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! I tried my best to be as objective as possible.
Great breakdown on this episode. I really enjoyed Amanda's overall transparency on the show but I agree improving her self-awareness could be beneficial. But she isn't alone bc I am ready to self-reflect to improve as well.
Thank you for watching! I'm so glad this video helped you to be more self-reflective. I hope you'll consider subscribing💕
Amanda is a habitual spoiled brat.
😳😲
Anyone who CLAIMS a medical diagnosis based on symptoms vs. a proven clinical diagnosis determined using valid medical instruments conducted by a licensed medical professional does not have the right to claim that diagnosis. Furthermore, to lie about being clinically diagnosed with autism is despicable and screams desperation. She is using this baseless and gratuitous self-diagnosis as an EXCUSE for her highly publicized negative behavior. Millions of adults and children are suffering because of autism. She owes them an APOLOGY. The outfit she wore represents her mindset...busy and all over the place. Lastly, you could tell Shannon was not fond of her. Her poor attempt to initially appear complacent to his assumptions was eating her alive.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! You are the 1st person to mention her outfit...which I thought the same thing but forgot to include it in my review
I hope you'll consider subscribing🙂
@@KiaundraJackson Interestingly, folks went onto the store of the luxury designer she was wearing & found it to cost a total of $3,500 ( not incl. shoes as people didn't know which they were). Interesting how an allegedy $10,000 Autism diagnostic test was too much for her, but she wears on shows,interviews, day-to-day designer costing a third of that. It's like... if the symptoms you've been experiencing were enough for you to inquire and take a personal assessment online (and enough with you to run with a an actual diagnosis that impacts your life), then I'd think it'd be prioritized as just as valuable to seek official diagnosis which is a pre-requisite to actually acquire treatment to alleviate such symptoms.
Just my 2 cents as a mental health clinician.
@@Heyy_itsJazzyy That's very interesting and further supports her false claim of being diagnosed with autism as a desperate reach to validate her unlikable character.
@@KiaundraJackson Thanks for responding and I gladly subscribed!

I think that for all of Amanda's self-confidence, self-esteem, self-value she is sorely lacking in self-awareness. I almost feel bad for her because she REALLY DOESN'T see her part in any of the things she's found herself in. In the Shannon interview at one point you could see her thinking "Dang, not him too". I think she went there anticipating being understood and him being on her side and when that didn't happen she felt let down by the world yet again I think. She's mentioned before that her therapist told her she's un-fuckwith-able and ever since then I've wondered if her therapist is doing more harm than good by co-signing everything she says. Which, I suppose, with someone like Amanda you have to do to keep them as a client. Once you try to get her to accept some accountability, I imagine she decides you're just like everyone else and moves on to the next. I do actually feel bad for her 🤷🏾♀️
Yea, there's a difference between having a therapist and having a GOOD therapist. Thank you for watching and respectfully leaving your perspective here
Amanda Seales is the definition of a victim. It has nothing to do with her intellect or intelligence. She uses that to degrade and make other people feel small because she feels like nobody is more realer than her and she can’t be challenged.
I noticed her behavior back on the Real with how she use to talk condescendingly to those women. Everybody is a problem but her. From her teacher, to Issa Rae, it’s always somebody else.
She’s an exhausting person to be around.
I appreciate your perspective on the topic. This video was so good.
Thank you for watching and respectfully commenting🎉
If it wasn’t for Shannon we would have never known that she had not been diagnosed because that’s how she presented the information. Shannon maybe country but he was very smart and held is own with this woman of many words lol.

After the interview, she went live, saying she was never diagnosed by a mental health professional.
Right! I knew I wasn't tripping. Everybody was saying she said she WAS diagnosed by a professional but I don't recall that part🤷🏾♀️
Thanks for watching!
@@KiaundraJacksonshe did actually say she was by through her positive responses to Shannon’s repeated specific questions about a clinical diagnosis. I assumed she had taken a test and ran with the results, not actually diagnosed by a psychiatrist or psychologist, but I guess I was giving her too much of the benefit of the doubt.

So I just watched the video (I believe that it was about 25 minutes or so) not the whole 3 hours, just before watching yours, and WOW, you pretty much said what I was thinking and how I commented after watching. I am not a therapist, but I have been around for a while (not puting my age 😂😂) but these are things that I have just observed over time. I like Amanda even though, like you I feel that she needs to do some self-reflection. I didn't know about all of the things on that list of twenty, but that is eye-opening!

So smart she can’t see why people don’t like her. I used to like her but she has become so unlikable. Amanda is a nasty person and talks to people crazy. No wonder no one wants her around. She’s hella petty.
I wonder if she will ever see that part about herself
Well said….especially on the accountability part. She has the talent to get through the door, but some of her actions can’t keep her in the room for a long time.

She seems to be her own worst enemy, and she does have mental issues. Amanda has burned more bridges than most people and she lacks personal accountability and integrity. Everything is always someone else’s fault, it must be exhausting being around her, with her constant whining about being a victim.

I thought this video would be more abound analyzing or breaking down moves/defenses & tones but much love to you & your channel from a Licensed Social Worker. She is smart but seems to have some ptsd & childhood trauma around rejection/protection. She needs to heal & also work on self-awareness to stop projecting all over the place. This screams "Why did dad leave me... for no reason?" I'll pray for her & her mental health.
Thanks for watching, sharing and being here🙌🏾🎉
She’s not smart. If she was, she’d figure out that she lacks self awareness and figure out her flaws and would’ve fixed them by now. Smart people realize that maybe they’re the problem after most people turn their backs on them. It’s ok to be opinionated, but facts trump opinions any day. When your opinions are wrong but you still give push back, even after you’re proven wrong with facts, then you’re beyond help.
Agreed. Amanda throws people off by talking fast and using buzzwords or other big words. Force her to slow it down and avoid buzzwords anyone can pick apart her statement.
I think she's knowledgeable. Intellect and emotional intelligence aren't the same. Self awareness falls under emotional intelligence.
That would be interesting to watch!
@@KiaundraJackson she's pretty versed in many of the things she speaks on. It seems at times that she does something many people do in academic settings, she'll parrot talking points or use big words when theirs this hint of pushback from the audience.
@@KiaundraJacksonI’m really glad I watched the video till the end. At first I thought you were being an apologist for her. Intellectually, she might be smart, but in life in general, she’s an idiot. I’m sorry, but till this day, at age 42, there seems to be no growth. Growth comes from accountability. She has none. This is proof that some people just don’t change even when it’s obvious they should’ve changed especially at that age.
Thank you!!! I completely agree with your assessment, especially about the lack of accountability from Amanda Seales. Enjoyed watching you, my first time, and now subscribing! Stay blessed ❤

@@KiaundraJackson you’re welcome! I made sure to ‘like’ this as well! ❤️🙏🏾
I appreciate this video so much!! I agree on all of your points. I hope Amanda finds this so she can see how others view the lack of accountability shown! She presents as a critical thinker on her personal platform with current events so I’m hopeful she will grow in her accountability.
Thank you for watching and saying this!
As soon as you said she’s intelligent I hit you with the side eye 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣...I really do think she is but she lacks EMOTIONAL intelligence...and that's what ppl get confused. Yall gotta admit she's knowledgeable (even if it is just book smarts)
@@KiaundraJacksonwhat’s funny is she constantly states that she is emotionally intelligent.
I’m sure she’s the 1 that lied to her about it.
I believe you were correct in your assessment of her background. Amanda's mother and the other authorities in her life enabled her constantly with little pushback; add to her being a child star and all, her ego was never checked. I will say that Amanda has been very smart about her own PR. Your assessment about her Autism is correct as it is her final trump card in order to keep herself relevant. By latching onto a mental issue like Autism, she knows that very few people can be critical of her without her pushing back by claiming they're judging her mental illness, which will cause everyone else with mental issues to come out of the woodwork to support her. I raised an Autistic daughter who is an adult now and volunteered in Occupational Therapy years ago, which brought me into contact with a number of kids with different mental disorders besides my own. I can say in my unprofessional opinion, but just experience, that Amanda isn't autistic or remotely off or behaves in any way like some of the Autistic savants I have and/or currently work with. I would say that maybe she falls into the area of BPD or HPD, if anything, with Narcissism thrown in. It is well known that these disorders are virtually untreatable because, as exhibited by Amanda, she doesn't see herself as the problem, everyone else has a problem with her. She uses a lot of new age psychobabble to support her belief that she is an intelligent, strong black woman, she has a duty to be true and honest at all times without any barriers, while it is the burden of everyone else to figure out how to properly deal with her, which is part of her current campaign in "schooling" people on her Autism. She promotes, "I do this, so you need to let me do this and treat me like this and have my back." If you say, "But Amanda, you said something to hurt my feelings." Amanda says, "That's just my Autism, I can't help it and you need to understand that and if you don't, you're being mean to me." If you are in her space and give her any pushback against anything she says, she will deem you an enemy. If you give her 20 compliments, but one criticism, she will narrow in on the criticism and it will be at the forefront of her experience with you. Unless a person is her complete follower, never questioning and always supporting, you can't be in her circle. I suspect there's no arguing with her or pushing back against her at all and if you remain silent, she will take that as a win and that she has successfully dominated you. I feel sorry for any therapist she does have because it's probably just her rattling off story after story, her assessment of herself and how the other people should have let her do this or that. She really isn't that hard to figure out or misunderstand. Being in the entertainment industry and around a lot of creatives, there are a lot of Amandas out there, sadly.
Thank you so much for watching and providing a thoughtful response

16:06 - I needed to hear that. That is my experience at work right now. I could relate to a lot of what Amanda was saying and being misunderstood is the worst. I think, like me, it's just hard to keep a conversation in order when your mind is all over the place because your brain is moving so fast.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I'm glad you're here & this was helpful🎉
I watched 40 minutes of that nonsense. It was enough to determine that She came to fight, but found an unworthy adversary and as such the interview failed and she preceded to talk about things that were basically gossip. One day she’ll meet someone who knows that just cuz you read the book doesn’t mean you know the story!
Thanks for watching and sharing your perspective on this! I hope you'll consider subscribing💕
I think you are spot on. What I got from this interview was that she is always the victim and that she cannot be corrected or even asked a question without it being an insult.
All Shannon did was ask her a question, playing devils advocate about the teacher (Which we all know is common sense. No child should be correcting an adult, especially one in a position of authority) and she took that as him being on the teachers side. It’s like once she has a thought or concept in her head, that’s it. She cannot be corrected or questioned. This is the area where she keep’s running into problems. This is Narcissism not Autism.
Second, black folks need to stop being so impressed with people for using words they don’t understand or use in everyday life. That is not a sign of genius, it’s education.

@@KiaundraJackson my pleasure. I look forward to viewing more of your content. Keep up the good work
It seems Amanda thinks she is the smartest or one of the smartest people in the room. When Shannon offered a different perspective on the teacher and also when he asked about that diagnosis she realized he was smarter than she thought he was and she didn’t like it. Shannon is smart and emotionally intelligent too. That was the disconnect. Her usual ways to cope were not effective on Shannon.
Love this perspective!
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Apologies but you lost me at "Amanda Seales is so freekin smart!"
Lol! I think she's very knowledgeable. Ppl get intellect confused with emotional intelligence
@@KiaundraJackson
Lol. I understand what you're saying because there are many different forms of intelligence. But in my opinion (and I could be wrong) there is a collective or overall intelligence. I'm not saying she's not smart. I think she posseses a lot of formal education and is a very learned individual. lol. But I just can't get on board with someone being called very very intelligent and smart and they continue to find themselves in a position they don't want to be in. Lol. However, because of the current climate and structure of society she is smart enough to leverage the victim narrative she often peddles..........

Thank you for acknowledging her intellect. She is brilliant actually
I think so too!
The definition of Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. She has shown a great ability to acquire knowledge but she has also demonstrated that in some ways she lacks the ability to apply that knowledge. I noticed during the interview she mentioned the 48 Laws of Power. It is clear that she is familiar with the information but she lacked the ability to apply it. She tried to use methods taught in the book to gain control of the situation, but she came off as very deceptive, manipulative and sometimes rude. That’s the opposite of what the book teaches.
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Your observation of that interview was spot on. Though I hope that she will use this great mind of hers to do great work, I am afraid she is too self-important to bother with all that. But she reminds me to try to look in word and look how I can be better and how I can be more humble.
I love how you have a desire to be better🙌🏾
