Why Did Amanda Seales Really Quit The Real?

Actress Amanda Seales leaves The Real. Many people are left confused seeing as though she had only started 6 months prior to her departure. A much needed voice in Black culture, was her departure a loss to the cause?

Seales said:

"I have arrived because my contract is up at 'The Real' and I did not renew it because it doesn’t feel good to my soul to be at a place where I cannot speak to my people the way they need to be spoken to and where the people who are speaking to me in disparaging ways are not being handled,” Seales told 'Hamilton' actor Brandon Victor Dixon during an Instagram live last Tuesday.

"I’m not in a space where I can, as a full black woman, have my voice and my coworkers 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."

Seales added that she had reached the point where she "just can't function at this place the same way."
