Amanda Seales is fed up with op-eds written about her after the video she posted last month regarding not being invited to award shows.
The Grio Published an article about Amanda titled: “Amanda Seales Is Not A Victim Of Anything But Her Own Hubris.”
Here is a snip of the article, but feel free to read the entire thing here.
Amanda Seales recently went viral on social media after complaining that she was not invited to the NAACP Image Awards. She believes that Black media is not supportive of her.
Amanda Seales and I agree on some things. I’m always here for calling out white supremacy and the systems in this country that have been put in place to keep Black people subjugated and marginalized. I applaud her willingness to tackle these topics and speak out about them loudly and unapologetically.
Sometimes, Amanda Seales gets things wrong, too, and it’s not about her delivery, as she noted in her video; it’s about the problematic things she says.
You can tell where that was going!
In response Amanda lashed out on Instagram declaring that the folks writing think pieces about her will not break her.
You people, who are continuing to attempt to break me down – you will not break me!
You cannot break me! I am loved. I am anointed. I am touched.
I am working through the blood of our ancestors.
You will not break me!

Twitter response:
MR. INCLUSION, Emmanuel Acho, comparing a Black woman TO A DOG on national TV and Black media using Black writers to publicly chin check Amanda Seales but letting “White Lives Matter America Isn’t Racist Candace Owens” sit in Black spaces w/out journalistic interrogation is WILD! pic.twitter.com/jaiURWdR6o

Yal literally sit there and let white supremacist Candice Owens get away with murder and yet yal turn your back on Amanda Seales. There’s a deeper discussion that needs to be had. Immediately!

They need to stop writing pieces about Amanda Seales. It is really out of pocket at this point, and frankly has been. It is ENOUGH. At this point, WHAT IS THE POINT? What do people wanna accomplish? why are these giant outlets coming at her like this? Just stop.

Can Amanda Seales be a little much at times? Sure. But nothing warrants the extreme disdain she’s received over the years, especially recently. And it damn sure doesn’t warrant articles singling her out. Out of line.

The hit pieces on Amanda Seales published via Black publications are shameful. We talk about the importance of mental health and the weight that Black women carry and then write pieces that could very well contribute to their collapse. And then what? Thoughts and prayers?

Y’all kinda bullying Amanda Seales now. Hyper-focused on her while there are genuinely harmful people flourishing. Weird.

Amanda Seales reads like a manifestor in human design to me, actually. She’s always going to be repellent to most people and it’ll have nothing to do with her. She could have a personality 180 and do what people want and it wouldn’t work. Thus she needs to keep creating her lane. pic.twitter.com/ar91gQdrE9

The writer of the article:
Exactly this. She has more followers than me or theGrio on all platforms. The Streisand Effect is her making the article way more viral the day after and weaponizing her followers to attack me while simultaneously lamenting a Black woman being attacked? Please make it make sense. https://t.co/WduJ6ioxRs
