The Real wants to be seen as a diverse show with the different shades of brown at the table but they cater to the white audience. Their discussions are surface level at best and they were not ready for Amanda's personality. It's sad because the world needed her voice now more than ever.
@@kimberlyanthony6540 thats all the show is worth is 10 minutes. The topics are cringy for grown women. They dont have to be serious and political but they need to be more than fluff and loni love reading the shaderoom comments and trying to use them for her comedy which sucks ass😁
Yup the Real is a superficial Daytime y’all show it was never going to give a true voice to someone like Amanda. Anyone who was fan of hers knew it was for a short stint anyways. I’m surprised it lasted this long.
I can see Amanda Seales having her own talk show. Possibly late night, like, Trevor Noah or Bill Marr, she would be excellent for that format. I'm sure she'll get other offers, either way.
@@funkydineva no seriouslY!!! I most definitely love the way you always offer a different perspective. You provided another way of seeing things when you spoke on Black AF. Please let me know what books you are currently reading? You are extremely articulate but also "down" lol. Love you
Lol Tamara is the white twin and Tia is the black one. There is no question there. The show should have had Tia instead. Loni is chasing checks. She is gonna make sure the show is entertaining to keep viewers but she dont kno shit abt shit.
Loni is looking at this as her last hoorah and she is gonna make the best of it. Loni has never been widely popular and she's a big Black woman in the business, opportunities are harder to come by so yes she is gonna milk that cow until its done and tread lightly on certain topics.
I watched Amanda latest interview and made it clear that she isn't driven by money. I wouldn't dare want anyone to sale their souls to be a spokes person for the entire community. The show wasn't a good fit, simple as that. She has a huge following and develops great content. We can all still enjoy her brilliance. I don't understand why this is seen in a negative way. We should celebrate those that are not afraid to step away and be themselves. I'm happy for her.
I agree with you to a point. But now, we don't have any other advocate on main stream to push us or educate us and verbally express clearly the black community plyth. Basically she was essential for our community. Where else are we going to get that. Yea, we can view her social media but it won't be the same.
@@anjelicious1 Agreed. We don't have a "woke warrior" like Amanda Seales on a NATIONAL Network show. Gayle & Oprah are too white-friendly to be honest about what's really going on.
Black women get tired of advocating for everyone and then not receive the same advocacy. She’s done the work to be able to pick and choose where she wants to be. She took her 2 degrees and her resume and left.
“When Amanda went to whatever university and got her 2 degrees in whatever profession she chose they didn’t teach her about selling her integrity to the highest bidder” and Amanda was not here for that so she left with her head held high and I respect her for that
Juju O some reasons aren’t odd. A man almost lost his freedom due to false allegations made about him by Amanda. Do a little research and you’ll see why some people have sound reasoning behind their opinion of her.
I could’ve understood her staying if everyone knew that it would’ve made a difference. What’s the point of trudging all that bs to make progress if the only thing “non-black” people want to do after you made it is dismantle it? I learned a lot watching Obama’s presidency. Every single thing that the black man built during his 8 year presidency the white man came right behind and dismantled in less than 1. The network didn’t desire diversity of black opinion or even the authenticity of it. They wanted an assimilated puppet to sat on that stage and fool America into thinking it promotes diversity. That’s how they play the game. They educate us to neutralize us, not to empower ourselves
Amanda Seals was too real for the real. I knew when they hired her, she wouldn't be there long. Unfortunately, the real needed a more conscious voice but they also wanted it watered down so it didn't upset white viewers and sponsors. Amanda ain't that person.
I use to sit and wonder how she did that everyday. Sitting around them as they talked about their petty values while the world continued to turn oblivious to them. She better than me, but she did try.
That's exactly what it is. Amanda probably thought they was changing their format when they hired her n when she got there it was the same bubblegum shit.
Amanda has a reputation among blacks a being "problematic" in some of the ways he described. There are blacks that she's had issue with as well. Maybe controversial is a better term to describe it. At any rate there is no way she could be the strong, outspoken Amanda we love. That show is super careful not to offend white people. They are very limited in what they are able to discuss.
@Petty Murphy She left. She already set everyone straight like you that she made the decision to leave and explained why and spoke on how she is still cool with all the host and Lonnie agreed and supported her decision.
Following Amanda, I believe that she's learned from her boisterous ways and that she didn't just feel uncomfortable. I believe she was stressed about being "spoken to" after every time she spoke out loud. It reads as militant and she wasn't going to compromise her opinions and her voice. I knew when she got there she wouldn't be there long unfortunately. She was too real for The Real. 🤷🏾♀️
How you just gonna judge her taking about hey "boisterous" ways?!?! She ain't you, and you damn sure ain't her. Y'all always find a way to down the next sista. Ol crab in the barrel ass people..uggh
@@tiffanycunningham3409 I think you've misinterpreted....in the past, Amanda has been criticized for being boisterous and unapologetic. Im saying she's learned to be a little more diplomatic. Boisterous is not an insult. Calm down ma'am. Smh
I just find it funny how everyone has all of sudden switched up and is now on Team Amanda. She's great at what she does, but people were not here for her AT ALL a couple of months ago.
EXACTLY!!! It’s only bc of the times we’re in right now. Amanda is problematic and the tea shall be spilled. Has never been a good fit for the show & nobody wanted her there. She’s toxic and ego driven. Can’t claim to be for your ppl and do them wrong CONTINUOUSLY. Also, what is she really doing for black ppl besides being a social media advocate? 😒
“Some Men aren’t meant to be Happy, Some Men are meant to be great... And when some Black Women speak up, they are told they are angry” CareerSuicideAnyone?
Yes Tamara is biracial....and why do people assume if your married to a whites person, you can fully support the black initiative. I work with a brilliant woman at work and she is just like Amanda speaks her mind for everything black and is married to a white man. He doesn’t shush her and he supports her. That’s what turns me off with all this. Serving two masters get out of here with that crap. :( it’s disheartening
The timing is everything. Megan from The View is about to go on maternity leave soon. I wonder if this is an opportunity for Amanda to be on that show and feel her out.
I have been saying for the longest the view needs a liberal person in Megan's age group to balance out the show. The seasoned ladies don't want to go at her because of her age, it doesn't look good. Amanda would be perfect because like Megan she went to and graduated from Columbia and will really get in her behind like someone needs to.
@@TomiyeTv The View already has 3 liberals on the show.. They need a conservative voice...If Meghan left the show they will replace her with another conservative... I feel Amanda will make a great co-host when Meghan goes on her maternity leave but ABC won't hire her permanently.. I can't see her and Whoopi getting along.
She was not a good fit for this type of show. I don't get let's talk about real issues in an effort to solve them. I get, let's tip toe around topics for ratings and keep it light hearted so we don't ruffle too many feathers. Amanda would be good fit for a show like The View or her own show.
I saw an interview with Amanda and I can't blame her for not being on a platform for women of color and not be able to talk about black issues on a deeper level and not on a superficial level. The people who are in charge of The Real are white even though it's a show for women of color and they have a huge white audience who were offended by Amanda and my thing is fuck em. If a black woman cannot talk about black issues on a show for women of color then where else can you go😂😂.
I never watch an entire episode of The Real & I wish ppl stop calling it a huge platform, it's not 20/20 or Nightline..she just walking away from a paycheck, a job, she'll be alright
@Sermon Institute For Success all I'm saying is no one ..well at least ME, I don't watch The Real for advice, current events, politics, or real journalism, basically their opinions means nothing to me, but Yes making it to daytime TV is a great accomplishment for your resume
@@juliedream1625 Yes Wendy show was a huge success, coming from Radio to TV, especially since she studied & got educated for her talent unlike many others, Wendy is good entertainment, But Amanda Seals was not about to save the world & become an activist for Black ppl..but yet ppl is making it seems as if she was, The community is not losing Malcolm X 🤷♀️
I cringed when they first announced that Amanda Seales was joining the show. That was a train wreck waiting to happen. I knew from jump she wasn't going to be a good fit. "The Real" is way too bubblegum for her. She needs to be on a hard-hitting, political-style show, and "The Real" is more of a lifestyle program that focuses more on fashion, celebrity gossip, and make-up, with just a splash of pop culture and current event chatter to make them "appear" well-rounded. The point is, let the show be what it is. Nobody watches ESPN or Sports Center expecting to get information on the financial markets. You tune into Bloomberg Daybreak for that. Amanda would be great on a show like "The View," or some political roundtable forum. Someplace where she can shine and be completely unfiltered. "The Real" just wasn't it.
That’s what I said, The Real is just a “slumber party show”, not “The Root”. It’s better for her to have her own platform where she can freely express herself, and have guest of her own show.
I think they put her on the show hoping she would start drama. Cause let’s be honest, that show is mostly known for the drama they get in with other celebrities and behind the scenes.
Dineva. WHY DONT YOU COME FORWARD IN A MAJOR WAY. I love how you have an intellectual personality as well as an entertainer personality. WE NEED YOU! Yea. You! Peace ✌🏾
Right not that I'd put them on a show together regularly persay, but I'd love to see him at least interview her. Heck I'd be interested in seeing these 2 on Queens Court w TSMadison with Amanda doing intelligent reads.
stop looking for someone to save the day. Why don't you go forward? Run for office, tell your family to run for office. He just has a youtube channel. He is not your savior.
HollywoodCole he has a platform. He is intelligent and articulate and young. Believe me if I were 1/2 my age I would do exactly that. But I’m not. So we must encourage our Black leaders to step up. You not Black, huh
Dineva, please reach out and try to get an interview on your platform if you have not. I would love to see you guys have an open and genuine conversation about this topic. I am loving your growth and how you are transitioning and evolving your channel. I feel like that would be a groundbreaking interview both for yourself and Amanda. You would ask the right in depth an intimate questions that would help more people understand both her and what we are dealing with in current. Maybe I'm just overly ambitious but I can see this. We need this.
Yes it was like the book smart girl vs the mean girls. Her mind surpassed them.... they were talking about hair&nails. Amanda is on her Angela Davis shit. The real ain't real
I would love to just hear you and Amanda hold a conversation. Both intelligent, articulate & well informed people. I feel like y’all would bounce off each other so well. Get that interview, Funky!
Nah, Q is intelligent but I don’t think he could have a political conversation with Amanda. He’d be lost in my opinion. If they are just keke’ing then yes
Replacements: Yvette Nicole Brown - she's very political as well. Speaks her mind regarding black issues. She's guest hosted a bunch of times. Even if she was just there thru the election cycle would be great. Jackie Aina - yes she's a beauty influencer, but she had been in the forefront regarding these big names brand being more inclusive. She also just called out fashion nova and pretty little things about not commenting about breonna taylor or George Floyd when they make 💰 and capitalize off black culture/ aesthetic
But they still won't last like Amanda , Toni baby sister bc you naming strong black sisters they are looking for weak ass ppl who doesn't care they only after the bag.
@@miagrass well Tamar is a whole different subject. I have not ever heard Tamar talk politics or world history. I'm talking folks with the same mindset as Amanda but with a different approach...and I think both Y. Brown and Jackie Aina are good additions. They most likely won't add a 5th host again. Hell, if they just replace Tamera with Tia that would be great as well lol.
@@allthewayupnorth_8155 the real don't want no politics talk period and with tamar even tho she doesn't really get into politics I do believe she speak up bc she has a son and nephews and nieces you don't have to be into politics to speak up now tia no bc she not going to sell her soul and I'm just to end it there.
We want her to stay “for the culture”, but when she’s not allowed to be herself & speak for/to “the culture”, we would have a fit. I stand by her decision to leave a show with a hypocritical name as “The Real”.
I was hoping that you spoke about this. I think its a good move on her part. She was too political, black, and intelligent for the show. I hope she has in the works another platform to speak on matters without restraint.
Amanda also left the show because a lot of ppl in the comments were criticizing her as well. She mentioned this on a recent live. I honestly suspected this because when she first came on and especially when she had that minor tit for tat with Jeanie a lot of people in the comments (including black women) were shaming her for making everything black. I was surprised with the response especially from black women and I used to go back and forth with ppl in the comments back then. But now everyone understands why that had to be done. In the end she took a lot from the viewers too and she just didnt want to compromise herself for ppl who didnt get it
Why are people surprised? 1. The Real is a platform to discuss Pop Culture, not a political issues. It's like you hired a lawyer to be a fashion influencer and everyone is side eyeing the early demise of the relationship. Really? 2. To Q's point, Amanda can also be problematic. Everyone who has ever worked with her doesn't necessarily have a positive story to tell about her. This chick has defiantly shown up a private parties where she KNEW she was not invited causing a ruckus. Talking about I'm Black Hollywood and I should be here. No one agreed and she was escorted out. She's entitled and I think this was the main reason for the severing of the relationship.
I never thought she was a fit for that show any way! Amanda is not the type of woman to be censored and she gets real deep with issues that affect our community.
YES!!!!!! “Some men aren’t meant to be happy. Some men are meant to be great!” I SO remember that scene & YES, I wish Amanda had sucked up her happiness & just been GREAT on The Real .. We NEEDED her on there in this election year
Q your voice is NEEDED!!!! From black lives, culture, politics, reality tv. We Need You. You are intelligent, interesting, grabs attention We love u 🖤👑
I too had the same feeling about not posting certain issues for fear of making my white counterparts uncomfortable. If it doesn’t at least prompt a conversation I have to wonder if the friendships are worth having?? 🤷🏽♀️ Thanks Q!!
Daytime tv isn't ready for Amanda. She's above "is it ok to fart around your man" topics and Im all for her leaving, I hope she finds a greater platform because we need it
I say they’re high key fake! I happened to watch a few mins of the show the other day and was just rolling my eyes the whole time. Between Loni Love crying all the time and the type of conversations they’re holding on air, I just can’t!
First let me say thank you for your testimony! I work in corporate america where I am one of 15 Black employees for a well known company. I have been afraid but you have encouraged me!! Thank you!
Amanda Seales, Tamika Malory and Angela Rye need their on show period! Her voice was not right for tht show! Just like YOU Need YOUR OWN NETWORK SHOW! QUIET AS ITS KEPT!
I'm here for this comment. Because that so-called get her together that TI did I just couldn't. And @Funky, maybe not read her but counter her "information" in a way that people know not to go for it. I always wonder where she gets her numbers from. Funky Dineva, your platform and voice go beyond us "like this" to those "like this." They watch and LISTEN to you. I wondered about addressing her. I had hoped ignoring her would make her go away. It is incredible to see SPANISH people posting her videos and the Spanish comments that mention how brilliant she is. Sigh. What's her background story that she's like this?
tamcar04 I think Tamar is more entertaining than all of them. I think that is what Tamar is good at. Giving good laughs and girl talk. Even though she is childish af.
Amanda needed to leave, she was not a good fit for this show. I love having someone who is as opinionated and well-versed on certain topics such as she, but the energy was not right and with Amanda she can never be wrong its very annoying and hard to watch. There are many. other avenues in which she can take that I think would suit her better.
I hadn't thought about it this way, but I agree with you Q. On the one hand, there has to be someone on the "inside" so to speak to influence and really demand these changes. This isn't just about The Real. There are many corporations that lack diversity within the executive ranks. We need to be paying attention to that (specifically those organizations that sell primarily to black audiences). While all of this is true, sometimes someone has to upset the apple cart. Someone has to be publically outspoken so their voice CAN'T be stifled. Amanda Seals has taken the latter route - and I respect her for that.
I’ve seen many different perspectives on this and I still can’t understand why she herself or production thought she was a good fit for this show. Unless she was under the impression that they were trying to take a different route and discuss more serious topics...idk! This show has always been lighthearted topics for the most part, and they don’t delve very deep into serious issues. Although it’s called The Real it’s more like “real” girl chat! She seems more suited for a show similar to the view, and that’s okay. Hopefully, she’ll have the opportunity in the near future to create or be apart of a platform that better suits her. I think there’s room for both types of shows.
With all due respect, I can't with Amanda. Sadly, maybe she can't handle the responsibility that comes with such power. The comparison in the two pics you selected speaks volumes about Amanda. Her presence on that talk show (I don't watch it) wasn't a gain for me nor is her leaving it a loss for me.
I stan for your intro every time!!! Now as for who would be good, I think Neicy Nash, she's very active in speaking up for us, and you can't pushover on her.
CSJ Chicago @funkydineva don’t get messy like Jason Lee. His interview was not good and she appeared disinterested at times. He was trying to be petty, disrespect the other hosts and kept talking about himself.
You’re the first person to acknowledge that her voice was always for our ppl. I will watch or listen to her on any platform and I truly believe she left because they wanted to censor her to the extent that she could take. Her black voice wasn’t being respected and Tamara and Lonni used to being censored and aren’t outspoken in any way concerning our ppl.
I'm so glad she's gone. it's not an L she has awful energy. You can be impeccable with your words and for a cause without being insulting, disrespectful condescending or better yet arrogant AF.
Love this video and I get what you’re saying about someone being palatable. The real is kinda a fluff show and Amanda was probably too “real” for it. But either they leave it like it is or really choose to change it. I was thinking Eboni K Williams but she’s on State of the Culture with Joe Budden and Remy. Now sister girl speaks her mind but I think she more tv ready than Amanda was. Amanda needs a more late night HBO vibe where she can say what she wants. ♥️♥️♥️
I had the same “A ha!” moment with my social feeds and have been clearing out the garbage. If my life means so little to someone then they don’t need to be consuming my content.
I told you months ago. It was Amanda being condescending no matter who was on the show from Ellen to Tiffany New York Pollard. She’d side eye and suplex them with her intellectual pedigree. She was doomed from the get go considering on who was in the seat before her. Two different types of entertainment
I don’t know Q, I personally think there was more going on that Amanda chooses not to reveal and there was some unmentioned breaking point that led her to her decision 😎🥰
The Real is an easy breezy, light show because sometimes we need a mental break and a lighthearted show. Activists are not TV hosts and vice versa. That said, I agree with your overall message.
Stop trying to put square people in round holes. She did not belong on the Real in the first place. She was odd woman out. Amanda needs a more political show. Her sentiments were not needed on the Real
Dineava I just went thru this with my dad and sister.. I'm like the black sheep cause I'm strong as hell, but I quit my security job because I wasn't making money. My checks were gone before it was payday, and they mad at me because I wanted better for myself, they say I don't stay nowhere long.. I don't go where I'm tolerated, I go where I'm appreciated ✊ tf I look like making a company money whilst I struggle...
I agree with you FD. Honestly, I feel like this whole situation could have been avoided. The show has been on for years and Amanda guest hosted many, many times. The Real makes it clear that it’s not The View. It’s a light-hearted show. Amanda knew that going Into it and thought she could change it. But that wasn’t ever going to happen. I wish she would have stayed for another season because in the short time she was on, she was able to help the rest of the panel to dive deeper. But if it wasn’t for her, it wasn’t for her. Her podcast does well so that might be the best platform for her since she can control the content and messaging. I wish her the best.
As black woman we are always criticized for putting ourselves first! We are scrutinized for self preservation. We are expected to suck everything up, we are expecting to fight for everyone and everything, we are expected to be uncomfortable. " What did she do? What did she say" , please go back to reviewing reality TV cause I am TIRED.
You give Amanda too much credit. She is not as “reasonable” and logical as you give her credit for. She has a very long history of behavioral issues and inability to get along with ANYONE.
Charnisa Bradley Remember the black emmys party she crashed even though she wasn’t invited and didn’t get along with the organizer. She was asked to leave and then try to drag the organizer about it in social media. And lied about some of the events surrounding this. Then got into a social media fight with some of her insecure costars who called out her problematic behavior. And NONE of her insecure costars came to her defense because they agreed that she has a long history of problematic behavior. A google search or even TH-cam search on this will give you more info. This is one of many examples.
I definitely don't see Ananda Seals leaving The Real as a 'l' for our community, it's just another constant reminder of how equality should not be our focus. Black people need to stop with this whole "everybody" needs to come together. We need our own place and our own culture instead of getting angry when other people who have their own cultures dont include us in their culture the way black people invite the world into the little bit of culture we have. Our spaces, our feelings, and our communities do not fit in every place and nor should it. The Real knows what kind of black people they are comfortable with, and this only comes to a surprise for those who dont understand the blueprint that never changes.
It felt self righteous. Amanda wanted to show how much of a purist activist, she is. That platform could’ve propelled her into spaces being on IG just won’t.
Thanks Dineva. This spoke to me!! You mentioned that it’s unfair to expect one person to shoulder the burden- but if everyone chooses not to be that one person we have no one. Lately TI has a quote that is something like “if each of us do some then no one will have to do it all.” I think it’s all of our responsibilities to step up and be the ONE and as more of us do that it won’t be just one. I’ve been told I judge people unfairly because i want everybody to lay it all on the line and push through discomfort for the greater good because it’s what i would do. I’m learning that everyone has their own way and it’s not wrong it’s just different.
I'm glad that Amanda's leaving The Real. She was way too argumentative with her co-hosts & guests. The only reason Amanda was hired was to be the black Megan McCain & cause controversy. And Amanda Seales can't have a healthy argument to save her life. Deuces. Sorry not sorry.
The underlining message is Amanda can’t be brought, silenced or edited especially when it comes to her integrity and spirit. I can do nothing but stan. If the culture at the real respected her they would have made substantive changes. Can’t be mad at that. Yes she will be missed but during her time she definitely educated and shifted the needle. Walk away and keep your sanity. I’m down for that!
Everyone “wants” to hear our voices until we use them, then they want us silenced again! They invite us to the table so they can figure out how to beat us, and then remove our seats after we’ve spoken. Amanda is smart, and she wasn’t about to be an underpaid puppet for the black community! No Thanks

"People" dont want REAL anything these days. They want it sugarcoated and watered down. This world has gone to sh*t.
Amanda was getting a lot of negative emails and DMs, especially from non-black folks. They really hated her on the show.
zebs0804 some of us hated her too for some odd reason. The comments on their TH-cam were so mean
Regardless if they like her or not Amanda spoke the truth for and of the blk community!
Oh she got a royal bashing from black people as well. Right here on TH-cam.
Juju O some reasons aren’t odd. A man almost lost his freedom due to false allegations made about him by Amanda. Do a little research and you’ll see why some people have sound reasoning behind their opinion of her.
I could’ve understood her staying if everyone knew that it would’ve made a difference. What’s the point of trudging all that bs to make progress if the only thing “non-black” people want to do after you made it is dismantle it? I learned a lot watching Obama’s presidency. Every single thing that the black man built during his 8 year presidency the white man came right behind and dismantled in less than 1. The network didn’t desire diversity of black opinion or even the authenticity of it. They wanted an assimilated puppet to sat on that stage and fool America into thinking it promotes diversity. That’s how they play the game. They educate us to neutralize us, not to empower ourselves
Amanda Seals was too real for the real. I knew when they hired her, she wouldn't be there long. Unfortunately, the real needed a more conscious voice but they also wanted it watered down so it didn't upset white viewers and sponsors. Amanda ain't that person.
Facts!
Yesss....I just commented the same thing.
Yessss!! THIS!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oops there it is.
This comment right here!
The real isn't the View..... It's not that deep of a show
Right. It targets a very different audience and she would never be adequately utilized there
And they need to change that name
It's sad because it could be better than The View considering they are the only show with all POC on the panel but the hosts don't have the range smh
the view ain't hardly deep. it's pure propaganda.
It's not that deep but the black ladies on the view also suppress a lot of things as well.
I feel for her. I couldn’t imagine wanting to have intellectual conversations with a group of vapid women day after day. It would get tiring for me.
Couldn’t be me. Amanda been working since she was a kid. She will be aight.
You could tell it was a hard effort!
I use to sit and wonder how she did that everyday. Sitting around them as they talked about their petty values while the world continued to turn oblivious to them. She better than me, but she did try.
That's exactly what it is. Amanda probably thought they was changing their format when they hired her n when she got there it was the same bubblegum shit.
so its ok to degrade other black women to uplift another smh
I believe everything she said. I wouldn't call her problematic. That's what white people call us....
That part!!!
Amanda has a reputation among blacks a being "problematic" in some of the ways he described. There are blacks that she's had issue with as well. Maybe controversial is a better term to describe it. At any rate there is no way she could be the strong, outspoken Amanda we love. That show is super careful not to offend white people. They are very limited in what they are able to discuss.
sickvokals she is problematic what do you mean you won’t call her problematic
sickvokals But yet & still our people bashed ( canceled) Mo'Nique for the same shit. Miss me with the B.S.
sickvokals you spoke the TRUTH!!!
She said the show was holding her back. Diversity on T.V. but behind the scenes no diversity running the show
@Like a good neighbor... not true, shes not a phony, all the other ladies are so fake its unreal
Like a good neighbor... maybe she thought that she could be effective in promoting change, but realized that she was in too deep over her head
TRUTH
@Petty Murphy She left. She already set everyone straight like you that she made the decision to leave and explained why and spoke on how she is still cool with all the host and Lonnie agreed and supported her decision.
Petty Murphy I agree
She had no business on that teenybopper show... Her skillset would be better served on the view
Following Amanda, I believe that she's learned from her boisterous ways and that she didn't just feel uncomfortable. I believe she was stressed about being "spoken to" after every time she spoke out loud. It reads as militant and she wasn't going to compromise her opinions and her voice. I knew when she got there she wouldn't be there long unfortunately. She was too real for The Real. 🤷🏾♀️
Dara Campbell I don’t watch The Real but was VERY surprised when they hired Amanda.
How you just gonna judge her taking about hey "boisterous" ways?!?! She ain't you, and you damn sure ain't her. Y'all always find a way to down the next sista. Ol crab in the barrel ass people..uggh
EXCATLY 🤷
@@tiffanycunningham3409 I think you've misinterpreted....in the past, Amanda has been criticized for being boisterous and unapologetic. Im saying she's learned to be a little more diplomatic. Boisterous is not an insult. Calm down ma'am. Smh
@@ThemBoysMomma Agreed
I just find it funny how everyone has all of sudden switched up and is now on Team Amanda. She's great at what she does, but people were not here for her AT ALL a couple of months ago.
EXACTLY!!! It’s only bc of the times we’re in right now. Amanda is problematic and the tea shall be spilled. Has never been a good fit for the show & nobody wanted her there. She’s toxic and ego driven. Can’t claim to be for your ppl and do them wrong CONTINUOUSLY. Also, what is she really doing for black ppl besides being a social media advocate? 😒
I said that too🤷♀️
She knew the show was lighthearted because she had been a guest on the show.
Thank you!!! Everyone was telling her she talks about race too much a few months ago and wanted her off the show.
I think all of us Nessas were waiting on your opinion on this topic.
Yes we were ....any review 😘🥰
“Some Men aren’t meant to be Happy, Some Men are meant to be great... And when some Black Women speak up, they are told they are angry”
CareerSuicideAnyone?
Yes Tamara is biracial....and why do people assume if your married to a whites person, you can fully support the black initiative. I work with a brilliant woman at work and she is just like Amanda speaks her mind for everything black and is married to a white man. He doesn’t shush her and he supports her. That’s what turns me off with all this. Serving two masters get out of here with that crap. :( it’s disheartening
I AGREE! This was a BIG “L” for the community! Thankfully, she is building her own platform! ✊🏿🖤💪🏾
The timing is everything. Megan from The View is about to go on maternity leave soon. I wonder if this is an opportunity for Amanda to be on that show and feel her out.
That's an interesting perspective. I think her presence would be great on The View.
I have been saying for the longest the view needs a liberal person in Megan's age group to balance out the show. The seasoned ladies don't want to go at her because of her age, it doesn't look good. Amanda would be perfect because like Megan she went to and graduated from Columbia and will really get in her behind like someone needs to.
She would be great on the View
@Ko my thoughts exactly.
@@TomiyeTv The View already has 3 liberals on the show.. They need a conservative voice...If Meghan left the show they will replace her with another conservative... I feel Amanda will make a great co-host when Meghan goes on her maternity leave but ABC won't hire her permanently.. I can't see her and Whoopi getting along.
I think she needs her own platform overall. The Real only tip toe on certain issues, I really enjoyed her input that she brought to the show.
I thought it was because she can't seem to get along with everybody 😂
Same thoughts
So much is being exposed in society today.
Say that Sis!
Im glad that it is.
Just like when my dad dies in last october, my holier that thow beother & sister was exppded
2020 is the year of Revelations!! All is being revealed and exposed.
But the Real “fans” stayed in the comment section dragging her cus they want just a fun show...y’all can miss me with the back peddling bs!
I just love listening to you Funky Dineva let's talk about it
I love my Nessa girl ❤️
Me too
Yes, Tamera and Tia are biracial. They’re both nice, but I’ve noticed Tia is a bit more open with having honest conversations about certain issues.
Tia has the black husband so she lives in a different day to day life than her sister so that could be part of it.
@Ananda- 😯 I had never heard this! Now I have to see if I can find anything in that.
Ananda V where’s this info👀
Ananda V thats a lie lol they love Adam and have made that clear, including their parents
Judge Jury it’s not true
She was not a good fit for this type of show. I don't get let's talk about real issues in an effort to solve them. I get, let's tip toe around topics for ratings and keep it light hearted so we don't ruffle too many feathers. Amanda would be good fit for a show like The View or her own show.
They need to put her on the view. I would love to see her and Meghan go at it.
laetihonor windy THAT would be good TV!
@@nicholasKMAmusic Yes it would!!!
Yesssss very true/well said
I think they convinced her to sign on with a pitch that they were going to change the show's direction and then they didn't.
I saw an interview with Amanda and I can't blame her for not being on a platform for women of color and not be able to talk about black issues on a deeper level and not on a superficial level. The people who are in charge of The Real are white even though it's a show for women of color and they have a huge white audience who were offended by Amanda and my thing is fuck em. If a black woman cannot talk about black issues on a show for women of color then where else can you go😂😂.
I never watch an entire episode of The Real & I wish ppl stop calling it a huge platform, it's not 20/20 or Nightline..she just walking away from a paycheck, a job, she'll be alright
Day time tv is a big deal. Just like Wendy's show
It's Daytime TV that is a huge platform not only that it's the only show in daytime with an all POC panel
Excatly those girls on real are clueless..
@Sermon Institute For Success all I'm saying is no one ..well at least ME, I don't watch The Real for advice, current events, politics, or real journalism, basically their opinions means nothing to me, but Yes making it to daytime TV is a great accomplishment for your resume
@@juliedream1625 Yes Wendy show was a huge success, coming from Radio to TV, especially since she studied & got educated for her talent unlike many others, Wendy is good entertainment, But Amanda Seals was not about to save the world & become an activist for Black ppl..but yet ppl is making it seems as if she was, The community is not losing Malcolm X 🤷♀️
I cringed when they first announced that Amanda Seales was joining the show. That was a train wreck waiting to happen. I knew from jump she wasn't going to be a good fit. "The Real" is way too bubblegum for her. She needs to be on a hard-hitting, political-style show, and "The Real" is more of a lifestyle program that focuses more on fashion, celebrity gossip, and make-up, with just a splash of pop culture and current event chatter to make them "appear" well-rounded. The point is, let the show be what it is. Nobody watches ESPN or Sports Center expecting to get information on the financial markets. You tune into Bloomberg Daybreak for that. Amanda would be great on a show like "The View," or some political roundtable forum. Someplace where she can shine and be completely unfiltered. "The Real" just wasn't it.
I knew it as well she's very outspoken. She will get on another platform...
Agreed! She’s too grown for that show!
That’s what I said, The Real is just a “slumber party show”, not “The Root”. It’s better for her to have her own platform where she can freely express herself, and have guest of her own show.
I think they put her on the show hoping she would start drama. Cause let’s be honest, that show is mostly known for the drama they get in with other celebrities and behind the scenes.
I agree! I too thought the same thing!
Dineva. WHY DONT YOU COME FORWARD IN A MAJOR WAY. I love how you have an intellectual personality as well as an entertainer personality. WE NEED YOU! Yea. You! Peace ✌🏾
Right not that I'd put them on a show together regularly persay, but I'd love to see him at least interview her. Heck I'd be interested in seeing these 2 on Queens Court w TSMadison with Amanda doing intelligent reads.
stop looking for someone to save the day. Why don't you go forward? Run for office, tell your family to run for office. He just has a youtube channel. He is not your savior.
HollywoodCole he has a platform. He is intelligent and articulate and young. Believe me if I were 1/2 my age I would do exactly that. But I’m not. So we must encourage our Black leaders to step up. You not Black, huh
Dineva, please reach out and try to get an interview on your platform if you have not. I would love to see you guys have an open and genuine conversation about this topic. I am loving your growth and how you are transitioning and evolving your channel. I feel like that would be a groundbreaking interview both for yourself and Amanda. You would ask the right in depth an intimate questions that would help more people understand both her and what we are dealing with in current. Maybe I'm just overly ambitious but I can see this. We need this.
I agree
Y’all won’t believe who Amanda truly is until she shows you herself. Please believe she thinks she’s bigger, better, and above TH-camrs🙃
I'm glad she left. That show is dumb and not in her level.
Yes it was like the book smart girl vs the mean girls. Her mind surpassed them.... they were talking about hair&nails. Amanda is on her Angela Davis shit. The real ain't real
She wasn’t on the show level
@@amberhi874it’s about entertainment not real topics
I would love to just hear you and Amanda hold a conversation. Both intelligent, articulate & well informed people. I feel like y’all would bounce off each other so well. Get that interview, Funky!
Nah, Q is intelligent but I don’t think he could have a political conversation with Amanda. He’d be lost in my opinion. If they are just keke’ing then yes
Replacements:
Yvette Nicole Brown - she's very political as well. Speaks her mind regarding black issues. She's guest hosted a bunch of times. Even if she was just there thru the election cycle would be great.
Jackie Aina - yes she's a beauty influencer, but she had been in the forefront regarding these big names brand being more inclusive. She also just called out fashion nova and pretty little things about not commenting about breonna taylor or George Floyd when they make 💰 and capitalize off black culture/ aesthetic
But they still won't last like Amanda , Toni baby sister bc you naming strong black sisters they are looking for weak ass ppl who doesn't care they only after the bag.
@@miagrass well Tamar is a whole different subject. I have not ever heard Tamar talk politics or world history. I'm talking folks with the same mindset as Amanda but with a different approach...and I think both Y. Brown and Jackie Aina are good additions. They most likely won't add a 5th host again. Hell, if they just replace Tamera with Tia that would be great as well lol.
@@allthewayupnorth_8155 the real don't want no politics talk period and with tamar even tho she doesn't really get into politics I do believe she speak up bc she has a son and nephews and nieces you don't have to be into politics to speak up now tia no bc she not going to sell her soul and I'm just to end it there.
The Real literally mirrors Wendy Williams “Hot Topics”. They don’t want to rock the boat with political discussions.
Service Institute For Success The Real is definitely a replica of Wendy Williams “Hot Topics” segment. All fluff and no substance.
Excatly
It’s not a political show
The show is called "The Real" . They Need to call it " The Imagine". 🤷🏽♀️
Or "The Fake".
hahha
😂😂 best comment
Good bye and go in timeout. But before you go- imma give a gold star and a certificate for student of the day!
When the student becomes the teacher
Amanda Seales Will Rise... She Will Always Continue To Push For Us. This Is Not A L For Amanda Seales.
I Agree 💯
We want her to stay “for the culture”, but when she’s not allowed to be herself & speak for/to “the culture”, we would have a fit. I stand by her decision to leave a show with a hypocritical name as “The Real”.
I was hoping that you spoke about this. I think its a good move on her part. She was too political, black, and intelligent for the show. I hope she has in the works another platform to speak on matters without restraint.
Amanda also left the show because a lot of ppl in the comments were criticizing her as well. She mentioned this on a recent live. I honestly suspected this because when she first came on and especially when she had that minor tit for tat with Jeanie a lot of people in the comments (including black women) were shaming her for making everything black. I was surprised with the response especially from black women and I used to go back and forth with ppl in the comments back then. But now everyone understands why that had to be done. In the end she took a lot from the viewers too and she just didnt want to compromise herself for ppl who didnt get it
She way too intellectual for the show! Hopefully she can get another platform because she's way too knowledgeable and real for fashion and games!
Why are people surprised?
1. The Real is a platform to discuss Pop Culture, not a political issues. It's like you hired a lawyer to be a fashion influencer and everyone is side eyeing the early demise of the relationship. Really?
2. To Q's point, Amanda can also be problematic. Everyone who has ever worked with her doesn't necessarily have a positive story to tell about her. This chick has defiantly shown up a private parties where she KNEW she was not invited causing a ruckus. Talking about I'm Black Hollywood and I should be here. No one agreed and she was escorted out. She's entitled and I think this was the main reason for the severing of the relationship.
Got my 1 yr old bopping to the intro, Yeaaaaa baby funky bunch is in the house woop wooooop 🤸🏾♀️💪🏾❤❤
I never thought she was a fit for that show any way! Amanda is not the type of woman to be censored and she gets real deep with issues that affect our community.
We need Amanda on Tv but not on that show. They are all fluff and cant handle depth.
YES!!!!!! “Some men aren’t meant to be happy. Some men are meant to be great!” I SO remember that scene & YES, I wish Amanda had sucked up her happiness & just been GREAT on The Real .. We NEEDED her on there in this election year
I felt the same way about her leaving, she’s the only one that brought real substance to the show.
Facts
Q your voice is NEEDED!!!! From black lives, culture, politics, reality tv. We Need You. You are intelligent, interesting, grabs attention We love u 🖤👑
I too had the same feeling about not posting certain issues for fear of making my white counterparts uncomfortable. If it doesn’t at least prompt a conversation I have to wonder if the friendships are worth having?? 🤷🏽♀️ Thanks Q!!
Daytime tv isn't ready for Amanda. She's above "is it ok to fart around your man" topics and Im all for her leaving, I hope she finds a greater platform because we need it
She was toooo real for The Real....they lowkey FAKE! She was so good! She was probably tired of being censored.
I say they’re high key fake! I happened to watch a few mins of the show the other day and was just rolling my eyes the whole time. Between Loni Love crying all the time and the type of conversations they’re holding on air, I just can’t!
She fraudulent just like the rest of them
First let me say thank you for your testimony! I work in corporate america where I am one of 15 Black employees for a well known company. I have been afraid but you have encouraged me!! Thank you!
The issue is .. we need to stop always wanting to be comfortable..kz nothing will change. Cannot grow without change and discomfort
They need to bring back BET News and Teen Summit
Amanda Seales, Tamika Malory and Angela Rye need their on show period! Her voice was not right for tht show! Just like YOU Need YOUR OWN NETWORK SHOW! QUIET AS ITS KEPT!
Amanda Seales was too militant for The Real cohosts.
I need you to read Candace Owens real soon
Never! I just can’t with her! She wants people to be mad, I’m not giving her that!!
I'm here for this comment. Because that so-called get her together that TI did I just couldn't.
And @Funky, maybe not read her but counter her "information" in a way that people know not to go for it. I always wonder where she gets her numbers from. Funky Dineva, your platform and voice go beyond us "like this" to those "like this." They watch and LISTEN to you. I wondered about addressing her. I had hoped ignoring her would make her go away. It is incredible to see SPANISH people posting her videos and the Spanish comments that mention how brilliant she is. Sigh. What's her background story that she's like this?
She did what she needed to do. You don’t stay long, just be strong.
That show will never be the same without Tamar Braxton as far as I am concerned.
It is the same though, shes just not there!
She was fun and funny.
tamcar04 I think Tamar is more entertaining than all of them. I think that is what Tamar is good at. Giving good laughs and girl talk. Even though she is childish af.
Tamar would have offered nothing substantive during this difficult time. 🤷🏼♀️
There's no point of being on a panel show when they're trying to censor you!!
Nessa girl quit playin’ and apply for THE REAL spot! You’d fit in perfectly!
She ran before she got fired..if she's telling the truth
This is true lol
Amen! Amanda Seal has a beautiful mind and I’m glad she shares it.
You preaching today!!! Eyes wide open!!!
👁👁
Amanda needed to leave, she was not a good fit for this show. I love having someone who is as opinionated and well-versed on certain topics such as she, but the energy was not right and with Amanda she can never be wrong its very annoying and hard to watch. There are many. other avenues in which she can take that I think would suit her better.
Right! Thank you for speaking the truth.
I agree! The message can’t get thru because of her delivery! She’s problematic
I hadn't thought about it this way, but I agree with you Q. On the one hand, there has to be someone on the "inside" so to speak to influence and really demand these changes. This isn't just about The Real. There are many corporations that lack diversity within the executive ranks. We need to be paying attention to that (specifically those organizations that sell primarily to black audiences). While all of this is true, sometimes someone has to upset the apple cart. Someone has to be publically outspoken so their voice CAN'T be stifled. Amanda Seals has taken the latter route - and I respect her for that.
It is the way she presents that makes it difficult to accept
We the people ASKING for an interview with Amanda Seales.
I think "the real" was too light hearted for Amanda. She would do better in a more serious show.
I’ve seen many different perspectives on this and I still can’t understand why she herself or production thought she was a good fit for this show. Unless she was under the impression that they were trying to take a different route and discuss more serious topics...idk! This show has always been lighthearted topics for the most part, and they don’t delve very deep into serious issues. Although it’s called The Real it’s more like “real” girl chat! She seems more suited for a show similar to the view, and that’s okay. Hopefully, she’ll have the opportunity in the near future to create or be apart of a platform that better suits her. I think there’s room for both types of shows.
With all due respect, I can't with Amanda. Sadly, maybe she can't handle the responsibility that comes with such power. The comparison in the two pics you selected speaks volumes about Amanda. Her presence on that talk show (I don't watch it) wasn't a gain for me nor is her leaving it a loss for me.
Elaine Berry same here.
I stan for your intro every time!!!
Now as for who would be good, I think Neicy Nash, she's very active in speaking up for us, and you can't pushover on her.
I wish you could get an interview with her.
CSJ Chicago @funkydineva don’t get messy like Jason Lee. His interview was not good and she appeared disinterested at times.
He was trying to be petty, disrespect the other hosts and kept talking about himself.
You’re the first person to acknowledge that her voice was always for our ppl. I will watch or listen to her on any platform and I truly believe she left because they wanted to censor her to the extent that she could take. Her black voice wasn’t being respected and Tamara and Lonni used to being censored and aren’t outspoken in any way concerning our ppl.
When you 'suck it up' that's how you get fully initiated. Being since she's been on tv for yearsssss, I would assume this is a distraction.
I'm so glad she's gone. it's not an L she has awful energy. You can be impeccable with your words and for a cause without being insulting, disrespectful condescending or better yet arrogant AF.
Love this video and I get what you’re saying about someone being palatable. The real is kinda a fluff show and Amanda was probably too “real” for it. But either they leave it like it is or really choose to change it. I was thinking Eboni K Williams but she’s on State of the Culture with Joe Budden and Remy. Now sister girl speaks her mind but I think she more tv ready than Amanda was. Amanda needs a more late night HBO vibe where she can say what she wants. ♥️♥️♥️
I had the same “A ha!” moment with my social feeds and have been clearing out the garbage. If my life means so little to someone then they don’t need to be consuming my content.
I told you months ago. It was Amanda being condescending no matter who was on the show from Ellen to Tiffany New York Pollard. She’d side eye and suplex them with her intellectual pedigree. She was doomed from the get go considering on who was in the seat before her. Two different types of entertainment
I don’t know Q, I personally think there was more going on that Amanda chooses not to reveal and there was some unmentioned breaking point that led her to her decision 😎🥰
I’ve been waiting for you to talk about this x
The Real is an easy breezy, light show because sometimes we need a mental break and a lighthearted show. Activists are not TV hosts and vice versa. That said, I agree with your overall message.
Stop trying to put square people in round holes. She did not belong on the Real in the first place. She was odd woman out. Amanda needs a more political show. Her sentiments were not needed on the Real
Dineava I just went thru this with my dad and sister.. I'm like the black sheep cause I'm strong as hell, but I quit my security job because I wasn't making money. My checks were gone before it was payday, and they mad at me because I wanted better for myself, they say I don't stay nowhere long.. I don't go where I'm tolerated, I go where I'm appreciated ✊ tf I look like making a company money whilst I struggle...
Yvette Nicole Brown... Come chat with us at The Real
I forgot she was sitting in on a couple occasions. I like her on the show.
I don't think she would be a good fit either, she's also a force to be reckoned with.
They really should've hired Yvette. She's outspoken, but also fits in with the other hosts. Either her or Tisha Campbell would be great replacements.
We loved this video, your ability to dissect, empathize and articulate your opinion on this topic is phenomenal. We need more voices like yours
Word in the streets was it wasn't Amanda's decision even though that's how she trying to spin it
EXACTLY!! She lies ALOT to create her own narrative & everybody doesn’t know that about her. She treats her own black people badly.
I agree with you FD.
Honestly, I feel like this whole situation could have been avoided. The show has been on for years and Amanda guest hosted many, many times. The Real makes it clear that it’s not The View. It’s a light-hearted show. Amanda knew that going Into it and thought she could change it. But that wasn’t ever going to happen. I wish she would have stayed for another season because in the short time she was on, she was able to help the rest of the panel to dive deeper. But if it wasn’t for her, it wasn’t for her. Her podcast does well so that might be the best platform for her since she can control the content and messaging. I wish her the best.
As black woman we are always criticized for putting ourselves first! We are scrutinized for self preservation. We are expected to suck everything up, we are expecting to fight for everyone and everything, we are expected to be uncomfortable. " What did she do? What did she say" , please go back to reviewing reality TV cause I am TIRED.
You give Amanda too much credit. She is not as “reasonable” and logical as you give her credit for. She has a very long history of behavioral issues and inability to get along with ANYONE.
🗣SPEAK!!!!!!! But they don’t want to hear the truth! Hold her accountable for her problematic behavior. SHE DOES BLACK PPL WRONG!
Y’all are so damn annoying ! What makes her problematic? Please give an example!
Charnisa Bradley
Remember the black emmys party she crashed even though she wasn’t invited and didn’t get along with the organizer. She was asked to leave and then try to drag the organizer about it in social media. And lied about some of the events surrounding this. Then got into a social media fight with some of her insecure costars who called out her problematic behavior. And NONE of her insecure costars came to her defense because they agreed that she has a long history of problematic behavior. A google search or even TH-cam search on this will give you more info. This is one of many examples.
@@introvertedbrainygirl181how she acts her personality she doesn’t get alone with anyone
Amanda was a great advocate for people of color. I admire Amanda for adhering to her integrity,moral and ethics.
As long as the replacement aint Stacy damn Dash we good 🤣🤣
I definitely don't see Ananda Seals leaving The Real as a 'l' for our community, it's just another constant reminder of how equality should not be our focus. Black people need to stop with this whole "everybody" needs to come together. We need our own place and our own culture instead of getting angry when other people who have their own cultures dont include us in their culture the way black people invite the world into the little bit of culture we have. Our spaces, our feelings, and our communities do not fit in every place and nor should it. The Real knows what kind of black people they are comfortable with, and this only comes to a surprise for those who dont understand the blueprint that never changes.
It felt self righteous. Amanda wanted to show how much of a purist activist, she is. That platform could’ve propelled her into spaces being on IG just won’t.
Do you not know what all she does??
Thanks Dineva. This spoke to me!! You mentioned that it’s unfair to expect one person to shoulder the burden- but if everyone chooses not to be that one person we have no one. Lately TI has a quote that is something like “if each of us do some then no one will have to do it all.” I think it’s all of our responsibilities to step up and be the ONE and as more of us do that it won’t be just one. I’ve been told I judge people unfairly because i want everybody to lay it all on the line and push through discomfort for the greater good because it’s what i would do. I’m learning that everyone has their own way and it’s not wrong it’s just different.
I'm glad that Amanda's leaving The Real. She was way too argumentative with her co-hosts & guests. The only reason Amanda was hired was to be the black Megan McCain & cause controversy. And Amanda Seales can't have a healthy argument to save her life. Deuces. Sorry not sorry.
You mean no one can appreciate a woman rbat id unapologetically passionate.
