Amanda Seales says she felt ‘humiliated’ that no one from ‘Insecure’ came to help her when she was kicked out of a Hollywood party

Former “Insecure” actress Amanda Seales opened up about her feelings for Issa Rae and the publicist chargeable for denying Seales entry to the Hollywood party.
Seales explained that during a latest interview with “Club Shay Shay,” she was personally invited to the Emmy Awards party by “Grey’s Anatomy” actor Jesse Williams. The event was called “Celebrate the Culture II” and was an Emmy Awards after-party for the Black community planned by Rae’s publicist Vanessa Anderson and others.

“… I was literally told, ‘You can’t come to the party Jesse Williams invited me to.’ This is the only Black event on Emmy weekend because a white woman tells me I can’t attend. But I’m fine,” he says. he said during a live broadcast on Instagram. “It’s security escorting me from the Black Emmy party, that’s what’s happening.”
Seales told host Shannon Sharpe that Williams invited her via text to the after-party, but Anderson wouldn’t let her in. When Sharpe asked what she had done to not be invited in, she replied he said“I have arrived… Here’s how it went.”
She then described most white parties in Hollywood as boring, but recalled the good time she attended the primary Black Emmy after-party in 2018 with Jill Scott.
Seales also noted that she then told Rae that Anderson “had a problem with her,” but Rae replied, “It’s between you two. It’s not my business.
In the stand-up special “Smart, Funny & Black”, it is claimed that she was unaware of what she did to irritate Anderson, but she heard the publicist say, “Oh, come on, Amanda,” while she was just standing next to Scott and doing nothing he did not do.
So when she attended a party in 2019 with fellow “Insecure” actor Kendrick Sampson and her friend Katheia, Anderson told her she couldn’t go inside.
“She tells us, ‘You can come in, you can come in’… and she says, ‘No, you can’t come in.’ I asked: “Why can’t I come in?” He says, “You are on the no-go list.”
Seales added that Sampson went inside to find out what happened and decided to leave the party before Joey Harris, Janet Jackson’s consultant, walked her back to the door and asked why she wasn’t let in.
The 42-year-old went into a lengthy discussion about working on the comedy competition show “Bring the Funny” with Jeff Foxworthy and mentioned that he used his privilege to solve problems on set.
“Sometimes I leave, but I always come back,” she added before continuing her story.
The 42-year-old said Harris also went inside to find out. She tried to leave again before meeting singer Elijah Kelly, who also wanted her to stay at the party. As one of the party organizers, Kelly tried to bring her in, but Anderson grabbed her arm before Seales pushed her away.
The comedian said she went to a bar, but Anderson’s security soon kicked her out. “I have a security guard your size coming up to me,” she told the 6-foot-2 Sharpe. “And he says, ‘I’m going to have to ask you to leave.’”
Seales added that it was Anderson who told security she had to leave and sent two other security guards to escort her. She said she felt “humiliated” that no one from the program came to help her.
The actress noted that Rae called her after the party to say she heard what happened but had nothing to do with it. Seales then revealed that she never felt protected by Rae, noting that her time on the HBO comedy “Insecure” wasn’t easy.

The trouble began after the 2015 comedy series “Get Your Life,” created by Seales, was promoted on Rae’s YouTube and the media thought it was her show. Seales said she asked Rae to post a tweet correcting the assumption, but the “Insecure” star declined. Seales said she was protective of Rae on the time since the actress was breaking barriers within the entertainment industry.
“That’s why I’ve never talked about it publicly, because protecting Issa has always been incredibly important to me,” Seales said. “Because I know Issa is doing something in this business that not many people do. … But I know her role is very important, that’s why I always protected Issa.
“So I always protected Issa. But at this point, there were enough instances where Issa should have protected me and he didn’t,” Seales explained. “One of my biggest problems, which we talked about several times in this interview, is that I think people will show themselves to me the same way I show myself to them. And now we have reached the point where Issa’s security has turned against me, which people are using against me.”
“There is a whole narrative that is completely false, that people are constantly spreading nonsense,” she continued. “They keep saying I’m the mean girl on set. That I hurt these people on this set. … How can I be a mean girl on a set that is not my set? How? This is your show. You are my boss. I do not even have the energy to be a mean girl because you would possibly get me fired.
Seales added that after the phone call, Rae agreed to talk to Anderson, however the conversation didn’t go well when Anderson admitted she kicked Seales out of the party because she “didn’t like her.” Seales said she hung up on Anderson and Rae called her again to ask in the event that they would have any problem on the set of the show, while her publicist began a smear campaign against her.
“I said, ‘You know, listen, I’m not saying it’s going to be a problem on set. But I feel the issue is that you do not feel the necessity to step in,” Seales responded.
The actress added that she was later ignored on the set of “Insecure,” where “no one tells me anything.”
“Everyone knows what’s going on and they’re not telling me and it’s just fucking mean. I mean!” Seales insisted. “They’re not telling me anything. And let me tell you, I’ve been trying with these women from the beginning because I want to create community wherever I go.
“I invited them to my house. They didn’t come. I bought them gifts. They say “thanks”. I tried to plan a retreat. They said, “We don’t need to go.”
Seales said not liking someone shouldn’t be enough of a reason for security to kick them out of a party. However, she believes that Rae should have spoken up on her behalf and stopped the publicist from slandering the actress in the industry.

Why a’ja Wilson is bigger than just the next release of sneakers – and scape

The recent Sneaker Nike A’one and the accompanying clothing line come for a very long time.
On the pitch, three -time awards and dominance of WNBA MVP and Las Vegas Aces are undeniable. Her attention to detail in every element of her game is that she flourished from the first skilled profession basket. Now she has set herself to the same success in the sneakers industry.
Early questions arose why the release lasted so long, but Nike left nothing. They spent almost two years in the trenches, ensuring that every aspect of the release was made at the highest level.
Now this expectation pays off.
As the release date approached, and Scape talked to women specializing in sneakers, fashion, sport and culture about their feelings on the signature line, Nike marketing plan and the historical importance of A’ja Wilson’s release.
Nike
The two -time WNBA master cooperated with the footwear designer Nike Ben Nethongome to create a’one for convenience and versatility. The silhouette has the Cushlon 3.0 central sole, which is a stronger base for response and smooth, cushioned landings. The pattern of adhesion on the outer sole allows the rims to make cuts and rotation without devoting precision.
A’ONES technical features are impressive, but personal data give the personality of shoes.
A’ONE finishes pay tribute to the pearl necklace, Grandma Wilson gave her as a toddler. Inspired by a pearl protecting a coat, the design has a robust, breathable upper part, Phylon middle carrier and a lightweight outer sole, which together sway cushion cushioning.

Other personal accents include a sentence from her 2021 essay Tribune And Celtic symbols at the back of the shoe language representing the names of parents, Roscoe and Eva Wilson.
The “Pink A’ura” version is a special color “before heating”, the term uses Nike to explain the color scheme or design theme in signatures and is related to a singular element of the story for the player. Pink A’ura is described as “flushing Leo energy and illuminates the pitch in her favorite color.” Another detail includes “A” of her signature, referring to her role “A1”.

Nike
“I am excited from it, especially knowing the album she has in WNBA and how he likes to combine athletics with fashion. He is probably one of the best-dressed people in WNBA,” he said Ashley HallCreator of the content from Philadelphia and co -host Only table who previously worked with Nike and Fenta. Hall is not going to rim, but she likes the figure and colours, believing that the living pink was “a really good idea on her part and her favorite color.”
The color construction has also caught the attention of the recent Host Seattle Storm Kayce Crescent. “I love that she dropped a pink pair first, because it wasn’t like the colors of her band,” she said. Kirihara was a fashion and sneaker, who hosted the events of NBA and WNBA, before she brought her management Storm.
“It seems to me that this is quite a cult dropping of the first characteristic sneakers in colors, which probably not many people expected,” she said.
Debut colours a’one is not an accident. The former debutant of the 12 months WNBA put her hands on every aspect of the project and was surprised by how often the team put it off during this process. “In fact, they look at me:” What do you desire to sell? You have a pen to your notebook. What do you desire to do? ” – she said . This is the reason why A’ones tell their story so professionally.
“As for the shoes of every athlete, I really want to feel that they are in the shoe,” said Taja “TJ” Keasal, host Sneaker Talks with TJ. She read Wilson’s book and believes that having more intimate knowledge about the Golden Olympic medalist makes the tennisian more unique.
“Her parents were turned on. Certainly her grandmother is turned on. I just love that the shoes attract so many of them, who makes A’ja, a’ja, to the shoe,” she said. “We don’t have to guess. We don’t have to wonder. It is extremely designed by it.”

Nike
Nike marketing plan on this trip before heatingwhich consisted of stores popping up throughout March and April in Las Vegas, Tampa, Florida, and Columbia, Karolina, where she appeared at the University of South Carolina. In each location, Sneakerheads could buy a shoe before a wider retail version. It could appear obvious to revive the family hero to the debut of her characteristic line, but more enthusiasm has been added to release.
Olivia Irick is from South Carolina, who attended a jumping window in her family state. She waited in the queue for 3 hours to get some of the first pairs of A’one, having fun with the event that released a big selection of Sneakerheads and Wilson fans.
“(To see) people camping and lining up around the block, because these shoes were simply something beautiful for (witness), especially (a woman) with their own characteristic shoes,” said Irick. “It was a good time for the city’s culture and sneakers.” Wilson participated in the event, signed posters for youngsters and took pictures with fans.
Irick proudly raised her couple A’ONES during the video interview with Andcape.
“I am not a pink girl, but because of who A’ja is, what she brought to hit the game and South Carolina, I wore this shoe several times,” she said. “I think I’m a pink girl now.”

Nike
Nike “did a good job to hear his athletes and hear the consumer.” Sports reporter and ESPN analyst Monica McNutt said. He believes that the company has not neglected any details when it was time to release.
“Speaking of intentional implementation, Sheryl Swiopes and A’ja Wilson Connection It is not an event – she said. “Sheryl Swoopes was the first woman who got a characteristic shoe for Nike and I feel that the first woman who had a characteristic shoe, dot. And in lots of respects Nike was part of the creation of history and part of culture.”
McNutt said that she didn’t query Nike’s involvement in the former three -time WNBA MVP. He believes that the company has learned from earlier outlets and used them as a chance to develop at a time when women’s basketball continues the incredible growth in the mainstream.

Nike
Nike will release the A’one accompanying clothing line. The line covers Hoodie impersonated by SateenA’Symmetrical one -legged sleeve and a relaxed slide in the same pink shade as a’one. Hoodie sweatshirt honors a mother who didn’t want the superstar to wear masks at the airport.
Like many black women, Kirihara sleeps with silk pillowcases to guard his hair, so with a hood with a sweatshirt with Satk it could appear a small detail to others, but “makes a huge difference.” He thinks he represents more than just something to wear.
“There is a story behind this. And I love it. I think they are drugs because many people want to match things. They want to combine a outfit that is associated with it,” she said.
Tionna DenceceLover, the writer of the texts and content creator, believes that offering Calm Slide is a win for the three -time defensive player of the 12 months WNBA.
“I like the fact that he has a slide,” Denice said. “Some people may not want a sneaker, but they may want a slide. So he gives people options, even if they are not athletes.”
He also loves a hoodie.
“She is such a black girl. It’s so cultural. It’s also for other women. That’s what I loved in the line. Yes, it is a cultural matter, but other women can understand it,” she said.
Irick agreed.
“I regret that they didn’t have it in a jumping window, but I definitely wanted a shoe sweatshirt,” she said. “This is the one I go the most. But I also have a few slides. It has become my way out.”
Keasal also loves so as to add an identical calm slide. “This coordination,” she said. “People may think that this is not such a great contract, but it can (can) increase someone’s confidence.”

Nike
For many, the characteristic A’ja Wilson line means something much apart from hard wood. WNBA built his success at the back of black women. However, before the initial announcement of Wilson’s shoe in May last 12 months, Candace Parker was the last black player of WNBA, who received the sneaker’s line.
It was 15 years ago.
Wilson’s popularity coincides with increased league visibility. A’ONE edition is not only paying arrears; This proves that perseverance pays off.
Denice asked if this independent would have the same impact. She mentioned how WNBA players “once they had to go abroad” to earn money, “which means you had to love it, right?” He feels that the league and the sneakers industry as a complete are waiting for somebody like A’ja Wilson, whose quite a few awards speak for themselves.
“I feel that its basic base of fans and fans in WNBA or people who support basketball (they would be there). Is this a place where it is now five years ago? Probably not. I think that time is everything. This is the perfect time to spend a shoe. It is the perfect time to celebrate WNBA,” she said.
“Now is the perfect time. It’s the perfect time for WNBA, because we see it (we blow up),” she said. “It’s a perfect time for her because her career will come from here.”
Hall agreed.
“I think that thanks to her achievements I think it is very late,” she said. “I really hope he gets the moment he deserves.”
Keasal repeated sentiments.
“I don’t think it can be disappeared or challenge what it means now,” she said. “We see this increase in women’s basketball. You also see that her number one player in the world is also at the forefront. And I think that this means a lot only in terms of representation, because she represents a lot.”
Sneaker Nike A’ONE, a clothing collection and a quiet slide shall be available in chosen retail sellers on May 6.

Naja connected it with the overgrown high top Grace Jones and deeply embedded French ends, and Ross selected a rather lighter red nail and a skillful roll.
While the lips have turn into Rouge, the hair became dishonest with trends difficult to define. Solange, seen in wet wet braids this week, creativity directed a birthday session for Ari Lennox. Her uncertain wig went with a pink, junk manicure. To finish the week, Erykah Badu participated within the Billboard Music Awards within the critic of BBL culture.
