Amanda Seales is speaking out about her strained relationship with former co-star Issa Rae, shedding light on a rumored feud that has been brewing behind the scenes. In a candid interview on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast, Seales revealed details about a contentious encounter with Rae’s publicist, Vanessa Anderson, that ultimately led to a rift between the actresses.
Seales recounted an incident at a “Black Emmys party” in 2018 where Anderson allegedly displayed animosity towards her. Despite bringing the issue to Rae’s attention, Seales claimed that Rae chose not to address the situation, leading to further tension between the two.
The situation escalated in 2019 when Seales was allegedly banned from attending the same event, despite being invited. With the help of a friend, Seales managed to gain entry but was later escorted out by security at Anderson’s behest. Seales claimed she was even assaulted during the ordeal.
Despite reaching out to Rae for support, Seales felt abandoned by her former co-star, who allegedly refused to intervene in the escalating conflict. Seales expressed disappointment in Rae’s lack of involvement and criticized the false narrative that has been perpetuated about their supposed feud.
As Seales continues to speak out about her experience, the public awaits a response from Anderson regarding the allegations. The unfolding drama between Seales and Rae sheds light on the complexities of navigating relationships in the entertainment industry and the challenges of maintaining professional boundaries in the face of adversity.
