Amanda Seales feels that there are more important things to worry about right now than whether or not she's had issues with her former co-hosts on The Real, but she'll address these rumours anyway just to get it out of the way. On Tuesday (June 2nd), Amanda announced that she had decided not to renew her contract for the daytime talk show, and explained that she didn't feel like she had been able to use her voice in the way she wanted.

"It doesn’t feel good to my soul to be at a place where I can not speak to my people the way they need to be spoken to," she noted. "I’m not at a space where as a full black woman, I can have my voice and my co-workers 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."

While the issue appeared to largely be with the higher-ups at the network, many began speculating that Amanda might have been having some problems with her fellow co-hosts, in particular Loni Love. Fans noticed that the Instagram account for The Real, as well as Loni's personal account, had supposedly unfollowed Amanda, and that she had unfollowed Loni back.
However, Amanda completely shut down these rumours, and called out everyone who was focused on imaginary drama between The Real ladies instead of on what's going on outside in the process.
“Do not try to create some false descension between me and the cohosts of ‘The Real,'" Amanda demanded. "Y’all so f*ckin’ corny. There is a whole pandemic and an uprising going on, and you still can’t find sh*t else to do? You try to create some conflict that doesn’t exist? I did not unfollow Loni Love. I haven't unfollowed anybody! Shout out to Jeannie, shout out to Tams, shout out to Loni Love, and shout out to Adrienne."
"What y'all don’t understand is grown women do grown women business, that’s what y’all don’t understand," she continued. "And what I do with my business ain’t got nothing to do with them sistas. Y’all need to have a good day and get your minds focused on what we need to do to make this a good world." Well there you have it. It looks like all Amanda wants is for everyone to redirect their energy towards doing something productive.
Loni Love Denies Getting Tamar Braxton Fired From "The Real"
Loni Love is denying Cookie Hull’s claims that she plotted to get Tamar Braxton fired from “The Real.”
Last month, comedian/writer Cookie Hull revealed that Loni Love concocted several emails that would ultimately lead to Tamar Braxton getting fired from The Real. While current hosts of the daytime talk show have feuded and made up with the Braxton sister on multiple occasions, the saga between Tamar and the cast consisting of Tamera Mowry, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, Adrienne Bailon and The Real‘s newest addition Amanda Seales continues years after Braxton’s departure from the show. Now, Loni Love is clearing the air about the rumor that it was her that contributed to the singer/songwriter from getting dismissed from the television series.

According to Cookie Hull, who is an ex-friend and collaborator of Loni Love’s, the 48-year-old comedian turned television personality plotted against Tamar Braxton because she wanted to be the show’s only “ghetto” cast member and didn’t appreciate Braxton taking all of her shine. While Hull’s claims do sound fictitious and bizarre, some fans of the show and Braxton’s following believed the rumor to be true. This is why Love is coming forward and speaking her truth about the outrageous claim is nothing but a hoax.
In a recent interview with Madame Noire, Love denies that she even refers to herself in terms such as “ghetto” and would never refer to Tamar as such. The interview initially brings up the subject of Hull’s allegations, stating:
“I don’t know if you want to talk about this or not—but Cookie Hull recently did an interview with Comedy Hype and she made some claims that it was you who wrote an e-mail to get Tamar fired and you wanted to be the only ‘ghetto’ Black girl on the show. You addressed it a little bit on TheReal but didn’t say her name. So I wanted to know what you thought about that.”
Loni Love gracefully replied:
“I do have thoughts about that that I addressed in my book. But I will say this, anybody that knows me, knows that I will not describe myself as a ghetto girl. I wouldn’t describe Tamar Braxton as a ghetto girl. I might say that we believe in the power of being ourselves. But ghetto girl?! I would never do that. And also, there’s a lesson in this. When you try to help people, you have to watch who you help.”
Love continued:
“I’ve never been against any Black woman. My fans know that. That’s the reason why I wrote this book. When you read the book, you will see. I’ve been trying to get the truth out for years. But here, we dealing with this reality show type (mentality). I do address that in my book.”
Loni Love is currently promoting her new memoir, I Tried to Change So You Don’t Have To, while The Real continues to produce their Emmy-winning content for their fans. Check out a clip of Love judging the brand new competition talent show The Funny Dance Show in the Instagram post provided below.
Loni Love Had Her Boyfriend Sign A Non-Disclosure Agreement
Loni Love recently explained why she wanted her boyfriend of two years to sign an NDA & shared anyone “coming up” should have one with their partner.
It’s difficult to keep your business to yourself when you’re in a relationship. If you’re like Loni Love, you may go to the extremes and make your significant other sign an NDA to help keep your personal life under wraps. On a recent episode of The Real, the hosts talked about a man who wanted his girlfriend to sign a prenuptial agreement before they moved in together. During the segment, Loni Love revealed that she had her boyfriend of two years, James Welsch, sign on the dotted line of a non-disclosure agreement.

“I don’t care if you’re on television or not, if you know you coming up in the world and things are happening—’cause you notice how all of a sudden Jessica Simpson and all of them are writing these books and they’re telling their side of the story and everything, possibly if they had an NDA, they couldn’t do that,” Loni said. “‘Cause that can ruin your brand. Somebody making false…not saying what [Simpson] is saying is false, but in general. It can really hurt your brand, it can really hurt you as a person.”
“I have [an NDA],” Loni added. “I made James sign one… The NDA isn’t for him, it’s because the people around him.” Watch Loni Love explain her situation on The Real below and let us know if you’d ever ask your partner to sign an NDA.
Amanda Seales Checks "Extra" TV Host After "Newbie" Comment On "The Real"
Amanda Seales says "Extra TV" host Jennifer Lahmers "tried it" on-air during the recent 1,000th episode taping of "The Real."
Since joining The Real last month as the Emmy-winning daytime talk show's permanent fifth host, Amanda Seales has been doing a pretty amazing job to say the least. While taping the 1,000th episode of the series, Seales may have even gained a few more fans after dropping a major clapback on visiting guest Jennifer Lahmers from Extra TV.

Things were all good just a few months ago when The Real cast (pre-Amanda) visited Lahmers over at Extra TV (seen above) for a lighthearted game of what appeared to be musical chairs. However, the vibe wasn't as playful this time around. Things took a left turn when Jennifer was quick to mention Seales being a "newbie" while congratulating the other ladies on accomplishing 1,000 episodes together. After they were able to brush that aside — Loni grabbing Amanda's hand on the low was enough to show tension was brewing — it then got slightly more verbal when Lahmers again made an unneeded comment about Amanda and fellow host Jeannie Mai "butting heads" during segments. This prompted the Insecure actress to address the situation by literally saying "Stop!" and explaining that her, Mai and the other ladies are allowed to have a "difference in opinion" as a diverse lineup of women rather than describing it as butting heads. "She tried it," Amanda wrote on her Instagram just a few hours ago when recollecting on the situation, continuing by writing, "Don’t come for me unless I send for you. I am not hostile. I’m passionate. Happy Black History Month ❤️✊?." She said what she said!
Watch the clip below and let us know if you think Amanda Seales had a point in her clapback:
View this post on InstagramJeannie Mai & Jeezy Get Trolled With Coronavirus Insults
Jeannie Mai spoke about how the Coronavirus outbreak has made her relationship a target for cruel remarks.
Their love is going strong, but Jeezy and Jeannie Mai have been the subject of cruelty from the public over their romance. The unlikely couple went public with their relationship last year, and since then they’ve enjoyed flaunting their love to the world. However, there have been more than a few people who have gotten their kicks over cruelly trolling the pair, especially now that the Coronavirus has taken over headlines.
Bennett Raglin / Stringer / Getty ImagesThis latest Coronavirus outbreak originated in the Wuhan City of China. As death tolls climb into the thousands, the internet has responded by creating memes or commenting about the Asian community in ways that have been deemed racist. “When Jeezy and I were in Fashion Week just recently and there were pictures posted, I saw in the comments on other blogs a couple times of like, ‘Don’t be catching that [Coronavirus] Jeezy,’ or ‘She got that [Coronavirus] that latched him in,'” Jeannie said on The Real. “That’s so hurtful because there are people that are actually dying from this.”
“We know that misinformation coupled with fear leads to xenophobia,” Jeannie added. “Xenophobia is a deep-rooted fear against foreigners. So, we just gotta do better and know, when it comes to yourself, educate yourself so that you don’t give life to fears.” Loni Love went on to explain that Coronavirus isn’t airborne and Adrienne Houghton chimed in that people need to stick up for others when they hear racist or bigoted remarks.

Loni Love’s Ex-Friend Confirms Loni Had Tamar Braxton Fired From "The Real"

After she was let go from The Real in 2016, Tamar Braxton always maintained that Loni Love had gone out of her way to get her fired. In September, after seemingly putting her beef with The Real women to rest, Tamar exposed Loni for getting her fired. She posted screenshots of text messages from an inside source that told her, “So I just found out Lonnie Love was writing letter to get you kicked off the show. She wrote the network.” Tamar responded to this person, pointing out, “I told everyone that it was her no one wanted to believe me.” Her source wrote back that she had “got confirmation” on Tamar’s beliefs since a “person who wrote and worked for her is spilling all the tea.” In the caption of the post, Tamar told Loni to “cut the BS.”
At the time, Loni commented, “Who writes letters? Who sent this? …let’s talk it out…stop going on every other show. You know you want to…and bring ya man!” However, the “person who wrote and worked for” Loni that was “spilling all the tea” appears to have been revealed, as Cookie has indeed spilled on the whole situation. Cookie alleges that Loni absolutely plotted to get Tamar fired, because “she wanted to be the only ghetto one” on the show. According to Cookie, Loni pointed out to the network that “if [Tamar] missed 52 tapings” to film Dancing With The Stars, “and the ratings didn’t change or didn’t get any better, they really didn’t need her.” Cookie said that Loni also “pointed out the fact that if Tamar got hurt on DWTS, that she would be a liability. I know she didn’t specifically get her fired, but she was influencing things.”
Loni Love Says Black Men Don’t Have "Faithful Relationships" Because Of Slavery
Loni Love's comments have pulled in some reactions.
A recent episode of The Real has pulled in even more reactions after one of the hosts, Loni Love, spoke out about black men and their dating habits. The 48-year-old said on air that black men simply don't know how to be faithful and added how she believes it stems all the way back to slavery. “I don’t speak for the Black community by I do think that a lot of Black men, they really don’t know how to have true, faithful relationships,” she said. “They think because they have money, they have power, that they can treat women any kind of way.”
Frazer Harrison/Getty ImagesLoni's co-host Adrienne Bailon chimed in and said men's cheating behaviours happen "in so many cultures," but Loni disagreed. “No, it’s not across the board because what is happening is that we are still dealing with the point of slavery,” Loni added. “And we are descendants of slavery and because our families were broken up, we still do not have an idea of how to have togetherness because our families were broken up.”

Amanda Seales Welcomed To "The Real" As A Permanent Co-Host
"The Real" ladies officially complete their starting five lineup with "Insecure" actress/comedian Amanda Seales taking a permanent seat at the table.
If starring as the outspoken-yet-lively character Tiffany DuBois in HBO's hit series Insecure wasn't enough of a boss move, comedienne Amanda Seales has just landed a permanent place as one of the hosts of award-winning FOX daytime talk show The Real.
Officially replacing former host Tamar Braxton, who left after the show's second season back in 2016, Seales joins longstanding hosts Adrienne Bailon, Loni Love, Jeezy's sweetie Jeannie Mai and Tamera Mowry-Housley as the series enters its sixth season this year.
