Amanda Seales’ Shocking ‘Crabs In A Barrel’ Claims Hits a Sore Spot Among Black Celebrities Amid Backlash Over Kamala Harris’ Criticism
Amanda Seales says the venom of digital space has made it easier for people to undermine her humanity. She admits she believes the identical thing happens the opposite way around.
The outspoken actress is reeling from the sensation of being unsupported by a few of her Insecure forged after being escorted out of the 2019 Black Hollywood Emmy Awards party.
She recently shared openly critical comments about Vice President Kamala Harris’ intentions if elected president in November.
The “Small Doses” podcast host drew renewed criticism when she rehashed a meeting she had with Harris, accusing the previous California attorney general of telling her she was being too “critical” when she questioned the 2021 elected official’s statements about America not being inherently racist.
In a seemingly reflective video titled “Keep My Name Out Of Your Mouth” from her YouTube series of the identical name, she admitted, “I misrepresented the way we spoke to each other in a video that people keep showing because I was so frustrated and angry with the way people were speaking to me, and it’s my fault.”
Seales has long considered herself a champion of black people and a vocal voice against injustice. But for voters who will probably be voting for the vp relatively than former President Donald Trump and his planned dictatorship, Seales has been a nuisance and a distraction from Harris’ campaign.
In the video, she addressed the continued discourse and what she saw as the foundation of the cyclical nature of being drawn online. The former host of “The Real” first explained, “Sometimes you have to experience something firsthand to understand what it’s like and what your role is in perpetuating the problem. … I keep discovering new problematic behaviors that I’m perpetuating.”

She continued, “One of the ones that I really feel the most is seeing everything and everyone as happy. Forgetting how easily things can be misinterpreted, forgetting how people can misrepresent themselves in the moment.”
Her lack of support for the Democratic presidential candidate was addressed by peers like DL Hughley, Yvette Nicole Brown and Rickey Smiley, all of whom she mentioned within the video. “I see them so casually mention my name in a demeaning context that discredits me. I tell myself they can’t see me as a human being. They just see my comment.”
Seales said that as an alternative of being called into the discussion, “they chose me,” comparing herself to a “scapegoat.” “I don’t want to be like Rickey Smiley, Yvette Nicole Brown, DL Hughley, Jason Lee and the rest of you who see this as a legitimate way to interact with individuals.”
The message of accountability being key to any probability of turning around criticism has spread within the comments, with one person advising her to “understand that you need to take full responsibility for the role you played in the bridges you burned.”
While the second told Seales, “You are the architect of your own misfortune.” Another responded, “Amanda, you need to take a break and get professional help. At some point, you have to stop taking half the responsibility and take full responsibility for the mess you got yourself into. And your credibility was damaged a long time ago with all the crap you’re spouting.”
Finally, a fourth one who didn’t buy this moment of introspection told her, “A black woman trying to overthrow the FIRST BLACK FEMALE PRESIDENT. What a mess in a barrel.”
Still, the Columbia University graduate said she plans to refrain from commenting on people’s provocative remarks and as an alternative invite them to her platform. She claimed that nobody has accepted the olive branch.
What now? Not while I’m alone #DNC high! Not today, Satan!
You all know that I defend nothing except my good name.
My character is KNOWN. I challenge you to seek out one person on this industry or anywhere else who will say I do not respect, love, or look after people.

However, Nicole Brown responded to Seales’ claims. “What @amandaseales will NOT do is pretend I haven’t preached, protected, and honored her for years. I’ve expanded my friendship. I’ve stood up for her publicly and privately when I felt she was misunderstood. SHE KNOWS that. And yet I ‘disconnected from my humanity’ and USED you,” she wrote on X.
The Community actress also pulled her own tabloids, revealing that Seales refused to talk to her when a private message was posted suggesting they discuss her comments about meeting Harris. “Own your own stuff. As adults, we all have to… I am not your enemy,” she wrote.
Seales currently has limited visibility on social media as a consequence of accusations that Zionists try to silence her.
