During the premiere of The Real’s seventh season, fans noticed a new segment called Black Lives Matter University. During the segment, the hosts of The Real interviewed Janaya Khan, the international ambassador for Black Lives Matter, on a variety of topics making news.
Fans were not the only ones that noticed the new segment. Amanda Seales also did and turned to social media to let the world know how she felt about it. Spoiler Alert: she doesn’t feel great about it and accused the show of stealing her ideas.
"Once again @therealdaytime demonstrates it's low class and even lower vibration," she wrote alongside a screenshot of the show. "Just so we're clear, this is an EGREGIOUS bite of my ‘Smart Funny & Black' brand in 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," she continued. "Happy Monday. VOTE!"
