*On Wednesday, May 15, the hosts of The Real discuss the backlash a writer is facing after she called out a DC Metro worker on Twitter for eating on the train. Also, co-host Adrienne Houghton talks about the criticism she sometimes faces from people who feel she is not religious or conservative enough for her gospel-singer husband, Israel.
And co-host Jeannie Mai offers advice to fellow talk show host Wendy Williams on how to get back into the dating scene!
Later, actors Aisha Hinds and O’Shea Jackson, Jr. visit to chat about their new movie, Godzilla King Of The Monsters. Aisha shares her experience working with The Innocence Project, and O’Shea remembers his family’s good friend, the late director John Singleton.

Adrienne Talks About How She Handles Religious Criticism
Loni Love: I would say for you – your husband, you know, is a wonderful man and he’s a gospel singer. Do you feel like this pressure is put on you because of your husband and his occupation.
Adrienne Houghton: For sure. I’ve talked to you guys about this. I get it, I get it pretty bad, and I think… I take that, and I never complain about it, because at the end of the day it’s like what Tam said – I’m not here for you, I’m here for Jesus.
[The Real audience applauds]
Adrienne: And I feel God’s love every day in my life. And I feel like – people don’t realize that church is like a hospital. It’s for the broken people. It’s not for the ones that are already saved. We need Jesus. So instead of pushing us away, you should accept us with open arms.
[The Real audience applauds]
Adrienne: If you see somebody doing something wrong, be an example of God’s love. Be an example of – they say “Come as you are,” but do you make people feel that way? And I have found places and churches and incredible people that actually don’t just call themselves Christian but they are Christ-like in the way they love people.
Loni: Right, right.
[The Real audience applauds]
Adrienne: So, I am grateful for that, and I try to… I also don’t make excuses for myself. I’m not perfect. And I still have ways to go in my walk with Christ. You know, I was raised Pentecostal – a lot of people don’t know that, and a lot of people say, “Oh, when she married Israel, now all of a sudden she’s talking about Jesus.” Jesus has been in my life since the day I was born, I was dedicated to God. But that’s not for me to prove to you. You get what I mean?
