Insecure actress, Amanda Seales calls her ex co-hosts on The Real for allegedly ripping off the concept of her show Smart Funny & Black.
Once again therealdaytime demonstrates its low class and even lower vibration. Just so we’re clear, this is an EGREGIOUS bite of my “Smart Funny & Black” brand in an attempt to bring black awareness into the programming of The Real. They couldn’t find ANY OTHER WAY to do this without it being a bite of my creation. Yes, I’m saying this on social media because the CONTINUED thievery of black people’s work (even when supported by other BIPOC) needs to be called the F out and also because this is the most energy I’ll give it before going on with my day and creating more dopeness that will inevitably be pilfered by the less talented/ethical/ancestrally connected individuals of our species. Happy Monday. VOTE! [Knowing networks, they did this bcuz they knew I’d post and it would boost ratings.]

“Just so we’re clear, this is an EGREGIOUS bite of my “Smart Funny & Black” brand in an attempt to bring black awareness into the programming of The Real.”
During the season 7 premier, The Real aired an episode with a segment calls “Black Lives Matter University”; the segment strangely resembled Seales show Smart Funny & Black.
Seales, 39, left the show after show after just six months because she felt that network did not allow her to tackle issues that spoke to black people and people of color.
“I left The Real because it was breaking my spirit… I was being asked to not talk about certain things that felt like a betrayal to my people,” Seales said in the video, captured by The Neighborhood Talk 2
Seales created Smart Funny & Black as a safe space for black people to discuss topics that are targeted and specific to black culture.
From a statement from the Smart Funny & Black website:
“The show created by comedian/actress/producer, Amanda Seales brings your favorite funny folks to the “Hall of Flava,” to compete, in a head to head battle of wits that tests their knowledge of black history, black culture, and the black experience. After a night of fun as hell games, flanked by a live band, and a turnt up audience, each show ends with one guest, literally, taking the “L”, the other, taking the crown, and being inducted into the, “Illustrious League of Master Blacksperts”
