It appears to be like as if there can be no future collaborations between Insecure star and author Issa Rae and former co-star Amanda Seales, primarily based on feedback Rae not too long ago made.

Within the clip, Rae was requested if there was anybody whom she would by no means work with once more. “I imply, anyone who’s on a podcast to speak shit about me,” she responded on the 2:03 mark, including: “I’ve had nice experiences with all people I’ve labored with although. So for essentially the most half, like, I’m at all times grateful when folks come again.”

Seales referred to the 2019 incident between her and Rae’s publicist, Vanessa Anderson, when Anderson requested that Seales be faraway from an Emmy Awards occasion Rae was internet hosting. Seales then recalled that Rae referred to as her immediately to specific that the ejection was not her doing and organized a cellphone name between Anderson and Seales to patch issues up.
Seales would go on to state that Rae’s failure to advertise her present, Get Your Life (which was below Rae’s HOORAE Media) and Anderson initiating a “smear marketing campaign” in opposition to her that Rae didn’t intervene in left tensions on the Insecure set heightened and made her really feel unprotected whereas there.
“They preserve saying, , that I’m this imply woman on this set, that I harmed these folks on this set,” Seales mentioned. “I simply wish to level out one thing very fundamental. How can I be a imply woman on a set that ain’t my set? How? It’s your present. You might be my boss. I don’t even have the capability to be the imply woman right here as a result of you possibly can fireplace me,” she added, persevering with: “So there’s no approach for me to be a imply woman on this state of affairs. And I do know some folks that will buck up in opposition to, like, the affirmation bias that they’ve created, nevertheless it merely is the reality.”
