Viewers of the hit daytime talk show “The Real,” are anxious to see what the hosting table will look like next season after Amanda Seales revealed some things concerning her contract.
On Tuesday, Amanda was joined by her friend and fellow actor Brandon Victor Dixon on Instagram Live as they discussed what is currently going on in our country during the uprisings following the death of Geroge Floyd.
During their discussion, they touched on the topic of not limiting yourself in the workplace. Amanda then said, “I have arrived because my contract is up at ‘The Real,’ and I did not renew it because it doesn’t feel good to my soul to be at a place where I cannot speak to my people the way they need to be spoken to, and where the people who are speaking to me in disparaging ways are not being handled.”

She continued, “I am not in a space where I can as a full black woman, have my voice, and my co-workers also have their voices and where the people at the top are not respecting the necessity for black voices to be at the top too.”
Amanda later took to social media to address those who may have thought that she has an issue with the other co-hosts on the show.
She said, “Do not try to create some false dissension between me and the co-hosts of ‘The Real.’ Ya’ll so f*cking corny, there’s a whole pandemic and uprising going on, and you still can’t find sh*t else to do, and try and create some conflict that doesn’t exist.”
Loni Love posted the video to her page and said, “You make me laugh, you make me think, you make me a better woman…thank you, Amanda Seales.”
As we previously reported, Amanda became a permanent host on the show back in January of this year.
At the time she expressed her excitement about joining the other ladies and said, “We are in a business and a town when you are being scrutinized so much, you have to play the game. It’s really dope when you can just come to a space where there are four women I get along with on and off-screen. We have different personalities, different points of views, but that’s the world that’s how it is.”
