No matter the the opinion of amanda, issa should've diffused the situation. The "ain't got nothing to do with me" is not cool and subsequently created a hostile working environment
Issa is not qualified to handle things like that.. it’s more of an hr issue. Also keep in mind you’ve only heard one side of things
@@BeautyToTheMax99 Isaac is the boss. If she can’t manage people she should let someone lead.
Yes. Dark skinned black women should mule for everyone throwing a tantrum. Issa should stop an event that she’s attending an honor of the Emmys and cater to Amanda Seales OK
Right!! Also, Issa probably already knows what the issue is. That may be the reason Issa said it’s between the two of them. The publicist tried to tell Amanda the issue but she didn’t want to hear it. That’s on Amanda, not Issa.
@@thesholovepodcastmanagement and hr are very different roles
Not going to lie, her Floetry bandmates British accent was on point. 😂
And quite hilarious LMAO
So funny lol 😂
Look that was another part I thoroughly enjoyed 😂😂😂
I’m a HR Manager and unfortunately HR is for the company and not the individual….
Lol, we know. Thanks for conforming.
@@renewilson2540 Lol I hope that statement made you feel better. Enjoy your day…
@@rooseveltscott7260Lol, I think she meant confirming because we ALL conform at work. Hopefully these folks will learn.
The one thing about Amanda Seales is that her stories have remained consistent she has never wavered. I recently watched a breakfast club interview from 6 years ago and many of these stories told are literally verbatim!! Protect this woman at all cost!!
Why should Issa Rae invalidate Vanessa’s feelings in favor of Amanda?
It was not an HR issue. This was an outside of work function. Stop.
@@alexkeaton9032invalidate her feelings? By stepping in to address a situation that’s affecting their working environment? No one said Issa needs to take a particular side, just address it.
@@alexkeaton9032that’s not how it works. Interactions between employees outside of work can still be relevant to your employer. Hence why you need to inform HR if you’re dating someone you work with. It’s a gray area, legally, but the basic premise is to look at how their private actions may harm the business.
@@cookiesandbussies1577and if they worked anywhere outside of Hollywood, Amanda Seales would have a rock solid EEOC
Issa's unwillingness to dead the situation tells me that Issa has/had an issue with her too.
Facts
YES
Yep!
Could be. But as a leader you still need to communicate that problem to her and if possible guide her on how to correct it. Amanda’s can’t correct the behavior if she unaware what the problematic behavior is.
Yup!
Two things can be true. Amanda Seales is very intelligent but she’s also a hard person to get along with. Everyone isn’t lying. You can’t be a line stepper and her words a truth teller, activist etc. and not ruffle feathers. You can’t disrupt the status quo and also be part of the status quo. She worries too much about being liked and unfortunately that’s not how the world works and she’s smart enough to know that. You either wanna be liked or you wanna be unapologetically you. If people don’t like you they just don’t like you. Go where you’re loved not tolerated. Rock with who rocks with you it’s that simple🤷🏾♀️
You would be surprised
Thank you! She wants validation from people who dont understand her or her mission. She either has to stand 10 toes deep and find who vibes with her (even if its 1 or 2 people) or compromise on certain things to reach her goal. My issue with Amanda is that she knows what bothers people and she does what she wants anyway but complains when she gets a negative result. This really boils down to having to let something go. The need to be validated, her approach or some other things. No one can decide that but her.
@@theroguey1 thats it! Intentionally disrupts then mad at the aftermath. She needs to count up the cost and eat it.
She's not hard to get along with she's hard to digest 2 totally different things
@@theroguey1she admitted to having low self esteem and that causes her to be overly-confident and over bearing in the way she speaks with people it's a tuff spot
She is SOOOOOOO intelligent. Very enlightening. Love to see strong educated Sista!!! She drops so many nuggets.
I have never hear somebody scream about how they don’t care and they do care at the same time.
Human nature and you orobably have done it too.
She never said she doesn't care . She cares about our people fiercely and expects the same energy, that's why the character assassination by "black media " was so heartbreaking for her.
@@ayeeshahm9078She did, lol. Literally this interview is her screaming she cares. You all can’t read between this?
This Amanda S debacle is so HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA 🎭. All these grown women not liking each other….but still insert yourself in spaces where you’re not wanted. AMANDA GO where you’re celebrated not tolerated.
That's my opinion as well, she sounds so childish and self-consumed. ISSA probably got better sense and intelligence to respond to this moronic behavior.
This child wants to belong in circles that don't want her...GO WHERE YOU'RE CELEBRATED and wait for your season. She embarrassed her damn self!
She ain't ready...she's extremely immature, talented probably but she's giving immature woman w/silly childish temperaments. Michelle Obama, Tamron Hall, Angela Bassett, Kerri Washington, Regina Hall, Regina King, Zoe Saldana, etc would NEVER.
I said the same thing!
I said the sammmmmeeee thing!
She didn't know she wouldn't be celebrated until she arrived, and the reasoning was nonsense
I agree with you however it’s important to also remember that this is her lifelong career. She has to network
The sad reality of modern America is that a smart black woman is not valued or respected. It's wild. Why is being intelligent a problem ?
Intelligence is not her problem. Her character, lack of self awareness but awareness of everybody else, her delivery, the constant need to be mad and rally ppl is the problem. She's smart beautiful and talented and unaware and unaccountable for anything...
Agreed
Intelligence is not the problem.
Her intelligence is not the problem. It's that she acts like she is the most intelligent person in the room. Which is annoying and quite arrogant.
She said, "how can I be a mean girl on a show that isn't even my show?" As if every mean person every needs to be the owner or boss of a job to be mean to someone else. Her logic isn't sound and she's reaching.
@@toulouseberlioz910 what is it that she’s doing to make you feel that way?
Senior HR Manager and I just found you, love what you're about. On Issa, not all leaders, can lead people. It takes a special type of person to deal with different personalities and deal with conflicts, and try and keep the peace.
I love that quote where you mention about hating a job and how these positions often times prepare you for the next chapter!
Whew!
I stand w Amanda and appreciate Amanda big time.
And I never have never doubted her stories.
She always comes across as genuine to me!
Thank you for standing up for her Kempire!
I bet you also believe she was diagnosed with autism
What about her lying about SA? Was that genuine?
hi
What did she say about SA? im so curious .... South African
@@oyandakona5994 SA as in sexual assault. RUclips doesn’t like certain words sometimes so SA is short form for it. She made false allegations on Myron Rolle and then backtracked.
Insecure is such an awesome show. I was on edge every week waiting for the next episode to come out. Sorry to hear there was some toxity going on behind the scenes.
Love the show, the last season was not the best but it was cute to see where the characters ended up at. After a few rewatch I wish we had more of Amanda's character, Tiffany, she had some good storylines especially the PPD episode but I wish we had more throughout. Kelli, Tiffany's bff, too! Like her happy ending while cute I felt was unearned.
@@donnao4644same. I felt that a lot of the side story lines were left unfinished for the sake of us focusing on Issa. I wish we had a Tiffany or Kelly centered episode where we got to see them in their day to day lives and learn their deeper thoughts and experiences.
This is the year of people being exposed 👩🏾💻. 2024 is the year of peoples behaviour catching up with them. I stand with Amanda, because that crew of insecure is starting to look like a bunch of mean girls and an extremely toxic working environment.
As a leader Issa is a poor manager, she’s atypical of most managers. When it goes great you look amazing, when it goes wrong, it’s straight crickets from leaders🤦🏾♀️.
STARTED OUT LIKING INSECURE TILL THE CHARACTER BECAME A FULL BLOWN SLUT
I have her first book and am looking forward to her next book. It’s worth the 3 hours to watch the interview. You walk away feeling smarter, not like you lost brain cells or wasted your time after watching it. She is engaging and I like when people give contexts to their points of view.
Yes it is!
To be fair. I can’t imagine a boss getting involved in an out of work dispute between myself and someone else at the company but not working directly with me. Either we can work together or we can’t.
Good, bad, ugly, I like Amanda. She’s very educated, very well spoken and I feel she doesn’t get enough “credit” because a lot of people find her controversial.
She lives for the drama.. just like you people. Some blacks in America thrive on" beef, "good hair, gay rumors, baby mama baby daddy drama. You people are only 13% of American population and yet consume the most negative bulshit. Make it sense. Do better
💯
There’s many people out here that are very educated …the thing is, she acts like she’s the only who is educated …
@@jyoungspins2200 Respectfully, I disagree, I think she is both passionate and confident in her knowledge about the topics she discusses and it can come across as condescending to some. I also believe that there is some misogyny at play.
She's not easy to digest but it takes a strong person to take her she's a Cancer like me we are grossly misunderstood
The publicist calling to tell her - she doesn't like Amanda was very unprofessional. Issa should have intervened. It's sad this happens often. Be mindful of how you treat people. Those tables can turn quickly.
Blessings to All 🙏🏾
What was Issa supposed to do? She asked Amanda to have a conversation, Amanada agreed, and the publicist told her she wasn't invited because she didn't like her. Amanda didn't want to hear the reason why, so, that's Amanda's problem, not Issa's. I hope you're not a person that goes to the boss because a coworker doesn't like you. People don't have to like others and HR or no one else can make them and they shouldn't be reprimanded in any way for it.
@@marielondon8269It sounds like Issa had her own dislike for Amanda. There’s no way in hell she didn’t know her publicist didn’t like Amanda and that she wasn’t invited to that party. She said she agreed to talk with the lady after Issa called and asked her to. she did it because she was still a cast member on Insecure. You can’t call me and tell me you don’t like me and then ASK me if I want to know why? Idgaf WHY 🤷🏽♀️ at that point. If we have to work in the same space, we can keep our distance from each other!!
@@ew0711🎯🎯🎯🎯 Issa had her own issue with Amanda and hid it behind her publicist having the problem…. I see right through Issa
@@Rosybuds00 I completely agree with you! for whatever reason, Issa doesn’t like Amanda. But, i guarantee you she knew how her publicist felt well before that party.
Issa intervened, just not the way she should have. The publicist's behavior was unprofessional in every way possible, and Issa not checking her on it was the problem. "I don't need you to like my other employees, but I do need you to not allow your personal dislike for someone, no matter the reason for your feelings, to not affect the way you treat them professionally. You work for me, and therefore you represent me, which means your bad behavior reflects back on me, and I can't have that. So, are you able to do your job properly, or nah?" Those are the words Issa needed to say to Vanessa, and clearly did not.
Amanda didnt accuse her ...the publicist TOLD her " I do not like you."
Amanda stated on her live that she has not been diagnosed by a physician with Autism. She read the symptoms and was like “this sounds like me”
We have to look at the patterns. She plays a big part in all of this but tells one side of the story. Amanda has a problem with everyone. Everyone has something against Amanda. I’m not trying to invalidate Amanda’s feelings, but her reality is always victim focused. What did YOU do? How did we get here? If you don’t like the spaces then create it. Is she educated? Yes. But I feel that she uses it against black people when we disagree with her.
This!!! And she thinks having a degrees in African American history gives her more validity, it doesn’t. There are MANY educated fools. She seems inauthentic to me.
You've given the most grace and consideration to Amanda within your commentary and I appreciate that so much. There are so many layers to being neurodivergent and how that affects your personal interactions, and there are more layers added when you don't find out until adulthood. There is space for her to be misunderstood and also imperfect. But people should still be treated fairly and with respect.
All good but it was extremely cringy that NOTHING has NEVER EVER IN LIFE been her fault NOT ONCE 😮the only child crying I didn't do anything....like NEVER 🙄🥴 embarrassing
Yes, Amanda is intelligent, passionate, articulate but it doesn't also mean that she can't be polarizing, brash, difficult to get along with etc.
Amanda wants love from black media yet targets her anger towards those same platforms. She needs to take some accountability.
I get the feeling that she’s over most Black media outlets and as she stated, they Black in name only but white owned capitalist.
But its these same black spaces sidelining her and disparaging her, she has every right to feel a way about how she's portrayed
People don’t like Amanda because she’s intelligent and speaks truthfully and directly. She’s never malicious. I’ve been in the position that women unfortunately have disliked me for no reason at all. All of my life in fact. This is very common when it comes to some women. I’ve had black women especially be the meanest and the most unkind. And it does hurt if your intentions towards others are genuine and kind.
This might be a reach but I think it’s that she is intelligent AND attractive. I find people aren’t accustomed to educated people who look like her. If she wasn’t conventionally attractive I think people would receive her better🤷🏾♀️
@@hodawg7 I agree
Great if she works as a customer service representative. Not so great. She might get fired for becoming a victim because consumer complained.
@@hodawg7Agreed & she is a black woman as well so there are many layers that affect how she is perceived. It’s hurtful but I hope she releases the resentment & moves forward 😢
She's nice nasty. How she shut down the publicist is an example of that. Amanda did something to that woman and did not want to hear it. She is the problem.
This is why I don't believe the saying 'there is no smoke without fire'. Some people will hate you for literally no reason at all. And even trying to understand why is pointless. This same person may no even be able to tell you realistically why they don't like you. They just dont.
BUT it's really true. She isn't having these issues for nothing. She can't be the victim in every situation. Even her interview with Shannon could have gone left...he had to walk on egg shells to keep her calm.
Ok im sorry but while this CAN happen and I have been the victim of this kind of situation, this isnt whats going on with Amanda😬 Shes a little problematic
@@marilynwelch5987everybody has a different personality that does not mesn that they are difficult , that does not mean they are the problem. People ewith bad attitudes or ego & can’t control people easily get upset when someone who they cant control and whose strong minded and intelligent walk in the room. Not to mention people can easily be intimidated.
So I’m not going to put this on Amanda as if it isnt easy to mislabel people. As the saying goes a lie will travel faster than the truth.
I stand with Amanda. She’s simply misunderstood and hard to digest for the simple and weak minded. Glad I’m not one of those people. She is a jewel.
@@THEDOORIZCLOSED She has the Spirit of Rejection!!! She also has the Father-Daughter Wound! She needs to heal! Because her energy is misaligned, she is attracting and creating circumstances in which she is continuously being rejected!!! She as in fight mode!!! She is the problem and the solution!!! Call 📞 Iyanla Vanzant!!! Amanda needs to do a 5-part Fix My Life limited series!
@@THEDOORIZCLOSEDYep it's pretty simple. 💯
Marsha talks about what happened on The R&B Money podcast. Amanda left out how she called and cussed out Marsha while they were on tour. I'd encourage folks to go listen to that interview.
I watched it. Amanda is problematic in my opinion. She gives forever victim to me
Of course she did, I can smell a liar. If you explain countless situations and NONE of them were your fault. Good day✌🏾
People love to emphasize how "smart" she is (as does she), but intelligence without wisdom, self-awareness, situational awareness, and emotional intelligence quickly loses its value.
If she is indeed on the autism spectrum, that can empower her to better understand the challenges she has, and strategize how to adjust situationally for better results. However, history shows that she'll likely use it to try to educate people on how to better understand and justify her ways, thus continuing to avoid accountability.
I watched every minute of the 3 HOURS! I love my Amanda🙌🏾
She is just not a like-able person, smart but extremely combative
Same and I loved the whole thing
@@akinwande0209 I can respect your opinion about her! However it doesn’t change my mine.
@@born2wynn167 😉
Seems youre the only one! Lol we just don't like the lies and the neediness
1 thing i must say about Miss. Seals is she is very intelligent, well spoken, beautiful & engaging when she wants to be
🙌🏽
It can't be everyone! Sometimes u have to look at urself!
People tend to pile on when the negative tid bits are on the ground to pick up and run with. Smear campaign!
So sometimes everybody's wrong!
Amanda is just being Amanda.
Agreed!!!
I love Amanda and think sometimes we forget to embrace people's differences...she is matter of fact to your face and some folk dont like that...especially in Hollywood were they love talking behind someone's back.
I've heard a lot of people use this as an excuse. Rude is just Rude....period!!! Amanda is not having all these problems for nothing. Believe me !!!
@@marilynwelch5987 I was once called out for saying "I don't like cats" to a cat lover.
I was called "rude and hurt someones feelings, too." OK?
@@meliw4142 It's all about intent. I don't think you saying you don't like cats is rude at all. However, it depends on the nature of your conversation. It's often about tone and delivery as well if it needed to be said. Just because we can ...don't mean we should.
I thought that it was possible for her to be a mean girl on a set that's not hers but I then realized that the bigger point is that if you are the boss, you have the power to get rid of the mean girl. If the mean girl is allowed to terrorize everyone, the boss is the problem in all reality.
She truly is intelligent.
Issa’s publicist has nothing to do with the show lol Amanda and the publicist weren’t coworkers. If the publicist was as handling business with Issa on the set Amanda could’ve just not been in those spaces.
@ninidanatural Issa is both of their's employer and she definitely had a responsibility to mitigate the relationship in order to maintain the working relationships which we know that she knew hence the call to Amanda and question about whether it would impact filming. She wouldn't have to ask that question if she bossed up and handled it by bringing them together and telling them that she has no place in their personal lives but in public spaces, they need to be civil because it reflects upon her. As a former manager, I definitely would intervene when the behavior of my staff, in or out of work, started to impact the business and this has.
Her publicist had a lot to do with it. It was Issa's show.
Please stop with the “she is intelligent” trope… yall keep saying that as if it’s something to negate her very deleterious behaviors that were on full display in that interview. It’s not that simple to just drop somebody that’s WRITTEN into a show just because they’re mean. It’s uncomfortable I’m sure and not ideal but Issas a business woman at the end of the day and the drama wasn’t that serious to her clearly to disrupt the flow of productivity because Amanda was being a problem child. She kept it professional which Amanda attested to by keeping her distance when it wasn’t work related.
And be smeared for retaliation ?👀😅
I want to like her, but she’s exhausting. She also went on IG Live and informed that she had self-diagnosed herself with autism, which is different than what she specifically implied on Shannon’s interview (diagnosis from a clinical professional). I think she’s attempting to place blame of all unlikable traits on autism, and that’s truly not fair. I think she should just accept being unlikable by many, and enjoy the few people who she can get along with (in life). Acceptance. Then, move on… or accept that you need to change something about yourself to get along better with others. 🤷🏽♀️…. I’ve taught autistic students, and all were lovable and kind in their delivery in communication. There’s a spectrum (of differences amongst autistic people), but I feel like Amanda isn’t often accountable for her behavior or honest with herself.
What ?! she diagnosed herself?! I thought she said she had a clinical diagnosis. This is so disheartening that she is spreading potentially false information.
I agree with you
Seeing people try to excuse her behavior by saying she’s autistic when she hasn’t even been diagnosed is frustrating. She may very well be autistic, but it’s just as likely that she has something else.
I agree with everything you just said.
Wow!!! Had NO idea she self diagnosed first heard of this 🤔 but I haven't watched the whole interview yet with Shannon. However I did see her post earlier today that indicated she didn't have a clinical diagnosis but that's all she said.
Being black balled without evidence is not fair.
We can look back on how Harvey Weinstein blackballed so many that he did not like.
I believe Kat Williams
I believe Monique
I and i feel amanda speaks to the same things.
Good point!
How come people dont have such issues with the well spoken intellects that are Angela Rye and Tamika Mallory…. Its not Amanda’s intelligence and articulation that rubs people. It is her inability to consider other people’s perspective and feelings and adjust. If you choose NOT to adjust that is fine, but you have to accept the consequences and stand on it.
It’s been years and we’re still hearing about this dang party. Move on and be around ppl who like you. And if nobody does then you need to look at yourself.
Because they invited her and twice, as she was going on her was back home the people, her people said no there is no way.
She always looked at for herself and few did also but it seems like the majority of the people at this party (people who claims community above all) didn't have enough courage to call on this bs, why invite someone to escort them out ?
She said she isn't welcomed into blk media spaces. Shanon welcomed her onto his large platform and now she's reposting all the negative comments that ppl made about how he conducted the interview. It comes off a bit ungrateful.
Very ungrateful and not gracious
It sounds like she’s promoting the interview and garnering more views/streams for Shannon’s show.
I agree!! IMO it appears if she is looking for drama
I think she already knew why she's not welcomed into blk media spaces.
I’m going to be honest. I think Issa is also neurodivergent. She’s very intelligent like Amanda, but socially awkward (hence the foundation of her fame from ABG to Insecure). I think Issa does not know how to handle these types of messy situations. Amanda being neurodivergent herself may also have this same issue but in a different way.
Interesting idea!! Could be ..
This is a refreshing take. I like it.
What does her intelligence have to do with her being manipulative, arrogant, rude and an overall difficult person to be around? Yall love trying to make things that AREN’T the issue an issue to distract from what’s really going on here. 🙄
1. Amanda gives Lena Dunham energy. That's never good.
2. She seems to have high intellectual intelligence, but low emotional intelligence.
3. Amanda comes off as someone who as never been a part of the cool kids crowd and fame has not changed that.
4. She would do much better focusing on who does like her instead of who does not.
thank god for number 3 lowkey
High intellectual intelligence but low emotional intelligence, wow... That is so accurate and summed it all up...
I agree being smart doesn't mean you have emotional intelligence.
🎯
5. Lacks self awareness
This might not be a popular thought. But everything everyone says can be great about Amanda but what can also be true is behind the scenes she might not be that nice to people. People have a right to say I don’t like you because of how you behave. She doesn’t take accountability and there are always two sides to every story.
The only time mean girl behavior can exist on a set that isn’t your own is if the person is a high profile celebrity (meaning) the show’s success depends on that person.
We’re only hearing her explain the stories of the bad things that went on in her career because that’s what people are asking about. She’s had a long career and have more positive experiences otherwise she wouldn’t be here. She highlighted a great experience with Jeff Foxworthy. I look forward to hearing her more positive experiences. Hopefully it’s highlighted in her next book.
I feel for her but I’m a true believer of do not stay in space where you are not celebrated. It breaks your spirit. Also, continuing to talk about this is becoming obsessive. Sometimes you have to let things go and move on to your next blessing.
Well if someone is hurting my career, yes I would be talking about it forever. I will be petty just as they are.
Some ppl fight the system and some ppl don't...whatever side of that choice you're on it should be respected
And it costs you Nothing to keep your mouth shut while others fight for their place in the world.
Lowkey your perspective lends itself to Abusers but I hope you find your way
💯
If this was the case segregation would still exist
@@christinarach340 Ok, but at what point do you stop talking about it and move on to better things? Amanda is holding herself back by bringing up tea she spilled 5 years ago.
Also, I wouldn’t pass judgment until Issa tells her side. There are 3 sides of the story: her side, her side, and truth.
Yes Kempire with the legal disclosure!!!
Yesssss ikdr!! 😂😂😂
Vanessa is talking for Issa I believe. Isa can't tell Amanda so she letting Vanessa do it
Probably so.
Saying people don’t like Amanda because she’s intelligent is ridiculous. Being intelligent doesn’t make a person unlikeable.
Ever been called an "Uppity N_?"
It can threaten a lot of insecure individuals.
I agree. Being intelligent has nothing to do with your attitude and how you treat people.
💯💯
For a lot of people it does. Being intelligent, having opinions and being direct is a problem for a lot of people. Not only does it make someone unlikable, in some countries you'll get killed for it
I really enjoyed this interview!! Those 3 hours went by very quick because she’s so engaging.
Great recap, thank you! I admire Amanda, and have now been discovering so many other like-minded Black women who are sharing similar experiences and perspectives, and it's a beautiful thing. Progress will occur, as a result :)
I love Amanda; I relate to her story of being judged, not liked and not caring.
19:47 I was thinking the same! Love that you’re just 100% real Kempire! Love the channel
She spits intellectual nonsense to justify her actions. Yes, you are VERY smart. However, it doesn’t change the root cause of why she keeps having problems.
💯💯
What does Amanda’s own aspirations have anything to do with what Issa actually does?? I think it’s very telling when she says Issa gets to do what a lot of people don’t get to do, but that’s not what she personally wants to do.
Also.. I’d like to hear Issa’s side.
💯💯
I love when you chop up your long videos like this!
You're just that guy- love from London xx
I know the algorithm might make our subs miss stories that we cover during the live show. Thanks for watching!
She said in the beginning she was apart of Hollywood she grew in Orlando but wasn’t really apart of Disney she like gymnastics not acting …. Now she’s been in Hollywood longer than everyone there.
She's not getting booked for anything in Hollywood.
stop playing, we know she was apart of Hollywood longer than all of them *plays back her Disney shows, her on the Cosby show, her on nickelodeon.* stop.
There really wasn’t a “Hollywood” surrounding kids specific shows in the early 90s. These celebrity kids didn’t start popping off until late 90s early , 00s building fan bases. She said it herself there wasn’t much going on like nickelodeon kids choice awards etc
She was and had been in Hollywood since a child and also longer than most in that room…She was apart of the cast of “”My Brother and Me”
Im not watching 3h of interview, thank you for the highlights!
Especially not one of Amanda Seals
I watched Katt Williams 3 hour interview but I will never watch an Amanda Seals 3 hour interview.
@lisakaye3919 your comment is exactly what I was about to comment.
@@lisakaye3919 it’s funny you say that, because your comment speaks volumes on how she explained people disliking her, just because it’s her. But then again, here you are on a video about Amanda Seales…
I’ve listened to parts of her interview, and she is exhausting to try and listen to. She is ALWAYS a victim. 😢
I love the different prospective. Great job. I might see the interview. Thanks
Inter-women jealousy is a real issue that’s as old as time. What Vanessa engaged in is called “relational bullying,” and research shows that this kind of bullying is used more, on average, by girls and women. If you don’t like someone, move along. The problem is, Vanessa didn’t move along… she engaged in relational bullying to the point where physical assault and career sabotage occurred.
Amanda doesn't want resolution. She shut it down when she was asked "do you want me to tell you why I don't like you?" Amanda claims that she didn't do anything to this woman but she clearly did since she was willing to tell her. Amanda wants everyone to care about her feelings and opinions but not the feelings of another woman. Amanda doesn't take accountability for anything.
My first time seeing this, however when she was on the real you can tell she was a problem and I saw in the ladies eyes she was. The problem is that she seemed a but selfish and don't care what people feel. I honestly wasn't feeling her on the show at all. But when you hear her talk she very determined. She will blame everyone and not herself at all which is sad.
I. LOVE. Amanda S. I’m not really interested in the drama/messy side of interviews. I love her for her historical knowledge and some of her point of views. I have learned so much during 2020-21 years about American history. I
Just think she’s so intelligent, REAL, and unapologetic🙏🏾❤️
She knows alot of shit
Thank you Kempire for your unbiased fact based content I appreciate you.
So I do see where people are saying she hasn’t taken accountability but Amanda had only really talked about 2 incidents in the industry. The other incidents were in her childhood and related to racism which I think were true. I mean Amanda is like 40 something and been in the industry for 20yrs and being honest if your a nice good person in the industry you are definitely going to have some stories of people ef ing you over. So yeah the interview focused on her negative experiences but I don’t know that it doesn’t make them true because I’m sure we can all name 2 incidents where we felt someone did us wrong and it had little if anything to be in response or due to something we have done.
Exactly and it kept focusing on that because Shannon kept asking "why does everyone have a problem with you"

Because they do, she has been abrasive with a lot of people, it’s sad
Yes, I am of a certain age, and I have had people not like me especially in Corporate America and all I did was show up for work and if a person hasn't had this happen to them it would be hard for them to believe and understand and to those who haven't been in a situation where you are not liked by someone for no reason count it as a true blessing!
When Amanda speak I listen she's very informative and interesting.
there was soooooooo much to unpack in this interview, but I do believe her about the publicist. there are people who are simply like that, they are so deeply insecure they don't like those who they want to be. it has happened to me many of times.I have literally had friends ask me whether I know this person or that girl because they gave me a dirty look and I'm mystified that I 1. didn't see the girl who looked and 2. had absolutely no idea who she was.
The interview was fabulously done❤❤
I am HR as well. Issa should have referred Amanda to HR or upper management to resolve matters. Especially if it was difficult for Issa to navigate.
I love you Kempire. Your spirit and laugh are infectious!! Who wouldn’t love you! ❤
Thank you but there are people that don't and that is completely OK!
Amanda Seals and Candice Owens are so similar but so different at the same time🤔 I would LOVE to see both of them sit down and have a conversation.. That would be very interesting😶🌫️
That are not the same at all!! 🤔
Would love to see it.
That would be a brutal debate if they both stayed for a set time. I would watch that.
Huh? They couldn't be any different. Amanda cares about the Black community whereas Candace puts down the Black community every chance she gets for financial gain.
@718guybk Who gets it, gets it... Think outside of your emotion, and you will get it too...
Sending blessings to Amanda! You are valued and necessary for the culture...
No, what’s happening here w/ Amanda Seales is that she’s so used to benefiting from colorism, that she is not used to people telling her “No”! That’s the problem.
I like Issa but she comes off as someone who doesn’t care to put herself on the line for anyone or anything.. as long as everything is going right in her life she doesn’t care and doesn’t care to take a stand on what’s right or wrong.. I might be wrong but that’s what I get .
I personally haven't cared for her much since that issue with Tamir Rice's mom. I've side eyed her ever since
HRBP here! I totally agree with all my HR peeps out here!
I just pray for the sister to get the healing she needs.
I’m not understanding why Issa has a responsibility to protect when they are essentially all coworkers. Is there a friendship I’m missing? Was that discussed in the interview?
My take on it is this. Maybe because Amanda was excited to be on an all black casting show there would be a sisterhood and camaraderie. Then Amanda felt very disappointed at some point in her relationship especially with Issa who is the lead of the show and the boss.Sometimes our people are not all going to get along and it's best to keep the relationship at a colleague rather than a personal relationship level. This sort of reminds me of Kim Cattrall and SJP of the SATC cast. 🤷🏾♀️
Well, my take and opinion is if before the show she (Amanda) was approached as a friend to be in the cast of this new show Insecure, then despite the work environment, you know that the friend you have asked to participate in your show happens to be a professional so you know if she is a good professional or a bad one. Because even if that's your friend, if she's professionally bad, you wouldn't have considered her to be part of it. But you did because you know she's great actually. So you and her know but not the rest of your team, being the boss, you have to introduce and clear the air, yes she is a friend but she is an employee and we need to respect each other = that's protection, acknowledging your friendship but also your work relationship.
But if, they weren't friends and became that during the show, the boss is still the boss. So when a matter like this comes to light and affects the energy on the entire environment, a boss has to find a way to resolution. Saying it's your problem when all of them are your employees is negligence which affects people in the long run mentally, physically...etc. The obligation of an employer to protect for his employees to secure a good environment to work in = that is another protection.
Regardless of how their relationship is in nature, at that moment, in that space (yes a party where celebrities make appearances to promote a show, it's not just a party, it is also work ... Where they happened to enjoy themselves 😅 but it is) the bottom line is the person who was supposed to protect, who had the tools to end it earlier, did absolutely nothing. Acting blind never helps in relationships, it causes just more harm, pain we keep seeing in Amanda statements.
The people, we chose to surround ourselves with are an extension of who we are. Sending your publicist to your friend doesn't make sense if you're friends. If you don't have a problem with said friend, you don't have to wait next to a month period of time to finally talk to your friend when on a daily basis you are sharing a working space.
@@KenasDanielle Great analysis and build. 🤔
Issa vs Amanda is like watching a mean girl vs a nasty individual... there's no one to root for.
Lmaooo which one is which? 😂
You think this would be something you’d encounter at a call center or job in general but people in entertainment go through a lot too.
I believe EVERY word about the Issa situation. Amanda also said they went to dinner after or during Season 1 because Issa acted as if she did not like her. She said Issa said (when Amanda asked her why don’t you like me), I thought you were a lot like your character. Amanda in REAL LIFE acts nothing like her character on Insecure. I can say what it really is but I don’t have enough character space lol.
The only lightskin person on the show and she’s the “typical” lightskin stereotype; boujie, non relatable, etc. That’s very telling for Issa and how she perceives lighter toned people.
@@namayabell340 The publicist is lighter than Amanda...
Great vid
I absolutely love & appreciate Amanda ❤❤❤
I appreciate this commentary, Kempire. I don't always agree with Amanda, but I do feel that she is often misunderstood and that there are a number of people who have just decided they're not going to like her. Personally, I appreciate how she shows up for Black people and how she's not afraid to speak the truth, even when it's unpopular. It's nice to be liked by people; but I think we sometimes get it twisted and think that there must be something wrong with someone if enough people don't like him or her. I simply don't use likeability politics to determine if a person is genuine and of good character.
♥️
Fighting over what something is called is important because words have meanings and being labeled incorrectly matters.
Y’all are not about to take down Issa Rae. Amanda is a difficult person, period.
Thisssssss!
Amanda is a complicated person like black peoples hair is complicated…not good…not bad…complicated. You missed the part about Issa being g a poor leader. Poor leaders destroy people every day either through being inept or inaction. But fans look the other way rather than seeing that these are flawed people.
Amanda clearly denied trying to take down Issa... and I don't think black hair is complicated. it just needs to be understood like Amanda. Understooding how her brain works isn't hard.
No one's trying to take her down 😂 Issa is a brilliant, funny, smart, beautiful woman who hasn't developed her leadership skills, which led to harm to a black woman she was supposed to protect
💯💯
Amanda is her own worst enemy. She doesn't listen to anyone or even care about anyone else's opinion. In that interview, all she knows is based off what her brain is telling her not facts. If you're not able to listen to what someone's saying to you then how do you expect anyone to listen to you?
I adore Amanda & her intellect. Ofc a truth teller won’t be liked by all. She’s a multifaceted Black Queen, salute🤸🏾♀️
I’d love to hear the other sides to this story because there seems to be a nice chunk missing.
Thank you for the picture of the publicist! Messy Work!
Amanda dropped many gems!
She killed that explanation on spirituality ❤❤ 👏 !!!!
Amanda don't change! We appreciate you for WHO YOU ARE!💕
When some people sit on the fence, the enable they harm bully do!
Fine, you can be passive by nature, but sometimes you have to stand up and be counted.
Plus, this is also discrimination. Her disability is just not packaged the way people like it, recognise it.
Amanda Seales is jealous of Issa… i picked up little bits of information about Amanda during the interview that showed Amanda had animosity toward Issa even before Issa hired her on insecure… 20:45 Amanda held on to that youtube incident and projected onto Issa … but i do believe issa was apart of kicking amanda out that party cuz she most def could have stepped in and stopped it… but hey its politics
Exactly this! 💯
💯
I peeped that to. She made a commet about Issa budget and that she's doing things other black woman hasn't been able to do, but she's been in the game longer then most of the actors on the show. Then she said she doesn't want to be in Issa position but we know that's a lie. Issa gave her an opportunity and she threw her under the bus and that's why people don't want her on they platforms.

@@davidwashington9623 Watch closely: Amanda speaks in doublespeak, but if you pay attention she unveils her true feelings. She repeatedly emphasizes 'protect,' masking her silence as a shield for Issa. Truth is, her silence was self-preservation; once she couldn't gain from Issa anymore, that silence vanished.
I watched the full 3 hours bless my soul 😅 but I really like and respect Amanda , I know most of her story so I was ok with watching while I’ll running around.
Very well sir 👍🏾
Amanda said, "... one of the people that planned that party was Issa Rae's publicist..." I don't know if Issa herself was one of the planners, but apparently the publicist was. If the _publicist_ had Amanda on the no entry list, and the publicist is one of the planners, what exactly does that have to do with Issa? Did Amanda want Issa to fire her publicist? Surely not. I imagine she wanted Issa to talk to her publicist and attempt to smooth things over. But when it comes to the beginning of all of these issues, that wasn't Issa's responsibility. Maybe Amanda would have done that for Issa. They handle things differently. Ok. They have that right. "Hey boss, another of your employees didn't invite me to a party they threw with others." ........Ok.......... so what do you want me to do about it?
Someone else told me that Jesse was one of the other planners. It's a sticky situation if one planner denies entry and another planner invites you, but why should the one who invited you disrespect the other planner's no entry list?
Finally, when she had the opportunity to hear why the planner didn't like her, she chose to end the conversation. I think she should have at least heard the reason and then dismissed it if need be. It could be that the publicist perceived her energy and vibe and demeanor and personality too abrasive. That doesn't mean Amanda should change, but it could help her understand someone else's perspective and help her realize that other people might perceive her outward expressions differently than she feels them. Or maybe the publicist heard ___ from who she thought was good counsel but ___ never happened. Amanda could have cleared that up.
The misunderstanding is that she is an outspoken black woman period
What exactly does outspoken mean to you? There are plenty of people thst are outspoken and who knows how to garner support.
@@traceytracey3756 Some community members think being loud and aggressive is being “outspoken”. Amanda’s issue is that she’s highly opinionated and entitled. She is educated, but if she really were intelligent she’d work on her delivery and debate skills cuz the way she operates is what turns so many of us off from her, and there’s no sense in being an activist when many of your own don’t want to hear it.
I wonder if Issa will release a statement or just pay it dust? It's interesting that she always takes her gripes to the innanets.
I respect her for telling her side to these stories but it’s exactly that - her story. She’s giving me victim vibes and that’s my honest opinion. She feels like everyone has to protect her in situations she finds herself in, but no one owes her anything especially being a grown woman who seems to have a mouth loaded for any verbal altercation. Also, just because Issa handled the situation the way she did doesn’t mean she was promoting what her publicist did or anything else she’s being accused of. Clearly Issa holds a different position than Amanda does and has to move differently in order to not sabotage herself and her own blessings. And while I don’t think that what Amanda claims to have gone through is okay, I don’t feel like she understood the position Issa was put in. She may be intelligent but it doesn’t mean her actions doesn’t say she’s not problematic around others.
