Comedian Amanda Seales shocked fans when she announced her exit from daytime talk show, The Real, just months after joining the celebrity lineup.
Seales spoke about why she decided not to continue with the talk show, and according to her, producers were trying to censor her.
“I didn’t renew it, because 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 explained.
“And where the people that are speaking to me in despairing ways are not being handled — 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.”
Her fans were supportive of her decision to exit the show. Who will replace her?
