Issa Rae Has No Intentions On Working With Amanda Seales Again Following Her ‘Club Shay Shay’ Interview

In a recent interview, Issa Rae confirmed that she has no intention of working with Amanda Seales again following their time together on Insecure. Despite their professional collaboration on the hit HBO series, Rae made it clear that Seales’ personality was not conducive to the kind of work environment she prefers.

“Amanda is very talented, but I’m very much about creating a positive and collaborative workspace. I want people who work with me to feel good about it,” Rae said. Without going into great detail, Rae emphasized that there were clear boundaries that were crossed during their time on set, making her reluctant to pursue future projects with Seales.

This admission from Issa Rae follows years of public speculation about the nature of their working relationship, with rumors suggesting that tensions brewed during Insecure’s production. Amanda Seales, who played Tiffany DuBois, had previously opened up about feeling like an outsider on the show, fueling the speculation of unresolved issues between the two.

Despite any personal differences, Rae and Seales maintained their professionalism throughout the series’ run. However, Rae’s recent remarks indicate that while she respects Seales’ talent, they’re unlikely to cross paths creatively in the future.
