Former ‘The Real’ Co-Host Amanda Seales Accuses the Show of Stealing from Her ‘Smart Funny & Black’ Brand

Posted on September 23, 2020

Amanda Seales is NOT happy with her former place of employment.
Amanda took to Instagram to blast ‘The Real’ for allegedly stealing from her ‘Smart, Funny, & Black’ brand for a new segment that debuted during the show’s season premiere.
Captioning a photo of the segment, Amanda writes:
Once again @therealdaytime demonstrates its low class and even lower vibration. Just so we’re clear, this is an EGREGIOUS bite of my “Smart Funny & Black” brand in an attempt to bring black awareness into the programming of The Real. They couldn’t find ANY OTHER WAY to do this without it being a bite of my creation. Yes, I’m saying this on social media because the CONTINUED thievery of black people’s work (even when supported by other BIPOC) needs to be called the F out and also because this is the most energy I’ll give it before going on with my day and creating more dopeness that will inevitably be pilfered by the less talented/ethical/ancestrally connected individuals of our species. Happy Monday. VOTE!

All of us plant seeds. And the thing about those seeds is you never know where they will sprout or how much of a harvest they will manifest. Because Gail Hamilton Masondo was my mother, I know, for certain, that when she moved to Nashville, she had absolutely no idea of the kind mark that…
