Amanda Seales Exits Daytime Talk Show ‘The Real’

Amanda Seales is keeping it real by exiting The Real.

Comedian, Amanda Seales, 38, took to her Instagram live Tuesday announcing she will not renew her 6-month contract and is decided to leave the day time talk show, The Real. She joined the show as the 5^th co-host permanently in January of 2020 after serving several months as a guest co-host.

Seales says the reason for her departure is due to her feeling she cannot properly express herself on the platform properly as a black women and many women are looking for her do so, especially during this time of protest.

“It doesn’t feel good to my soul to be at a place where I can not speak to my people the way they need to be spoken to,” she said. “And where the people that are speaking to me in despairing ways are not being handled.”

Adding, “I’m not at a space where, as a full black woman, I can 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.” “It doesn’t feel good to my soul to be at a place where I can not speak to my people the way they need to be spoken to,” she said. “And where the people that are speaking to me in despairing ways are not being handled.”

She cleared up any rumor that might spread saying she has issues with her four other co-host, Loni Love, Tamara Mowry-Housley, Jeannie Mai and Adrienne Houghton.

“Do not try to create some false dissention between me and the co-hosts of The Real. Y’all so f—ing corny. There is a whole pandemic and an uprising going on, and you still can’t find s— else to do but try and create some kind of conflict that doesn’t exist? I did not unfollow Loni Love. I haven’t unfollowed anybody,” she said. “What ya’ll don’t understand is grown women do grown women business. That’s what y’all don’t understand, and what I gotta do with my business ain’t got nothing to do with them sisters.”

Fans took to Seales twitter page to write they support and confirm they knew it was coming, saying Seales is “to passionate about racial and injustice issues.”
