Where Does Amanda Seales & Issa Raae Stand Now?
Although fans were surprised by Amanda Seales’ absence from the anniversary tour, she previously opened up about where she and Issae Rae stand. During a 2024 interview with Shannon Sharpe, Amanda said she never publicly addressed her relationship with Issa or the narratives surrounding their status because she wanted to protect her. However, she explained that she eventually realized there were moments when she needed Issa to protect her, but never felt she received that.
“I think people are going to show up for me the way I show up for them. And now it’s a point where my protecting of Issa has become turned onto me and something people are using against me. There’s a whole narrative that is completely false,” Amanda explained.
Issa Rae later appeared to respond to Amanda’s comment during a Viaraae event for her sparkling wine brand. When asked who she would never work with again, Issa said, “I mean anyone who goes on a podcast and talks s**t about me!”
