The cast of Insecure has had its share of ups and downs since the series premiere. Friendships, relationships, and situationships are called into question in Season 5, but fans of the show want to know what’s really going on behind the scenes.
In a 2020 episode of her podcast, Small Doses, Amanda claimed that she had been kicked out of an Emmys party by Issa’s publicist, Vanessa Anderson. The actress said that she was denied entry upon arrival after being told that her name wasn’t on the guest list. She ultimately tagged along with a friend, who escorted her inside.
But according to Amanda, she was promptly escorted back out by security.
Amanda mentioned her long-standing beef with Vanessa, but she still seems pretty chummy with the Insecure showrunner. While Issa never addressed Amanda’s claim publicly, another co-star chimed in on the incident.
In a tweet, Jay Ellis — who plays Lawrence — tweeted, “You can’t be a disrespectful a** human being and expect people to want to hang out with you. It’s quite simple. Sit it out.”
It’s unclear where the cast stands a year after the incident, but the Season 5 premiere reveals where their onscreen personas end up.
You can see Amanda Seales on new episodes of Insecure Sundays at 10 p.m EST on HBO.
