*Fans of Amanda Seales are calling out the comedian for ranting about being turned away from a party she had no business being at the first place.
Seales, best known for her 2019 stand-up “I Be Knowin’” — as well as her role as Tiffany on the HBO series, “Insecure” — took to social media recently to vent about being kicked out of an Emmy party.
On Sept. 29, Seales posted a video to her Instagram Story about “a white woman named Kiara” who had contacted security and had her escorted out of the event for no apparent reason, cheatsheet.com reports.
“For the record, I am being denied entrance to the Black people’s Emmy party,” she said while standing outside of the party. “And it’s a white woman telling me I can’t go in. I just want to put this on record that I am literally being told, ‘You cannot get entrance into a party that Jesse Williams invited me to.’ That is the only Black event for the Emmy weekend because a white woman is telling me I can’t get in. But I’m fine.”

While speaking on her podcast Small Doses, Seales shared more details about the night she was denied entry into the party. She explained that publicist Vanessa Anderson, who reps Issa Rae, hosts the Emmy event each year and she’s the reason why Seales was turned away.
“We are not friends,” Seales said of her relationship with Anderson. “She has never been nice to me ever. She’s always had a curtness, and she’s always seemed to be bothered simply by my demeanor, my way of communicating with her, etcetera. At a certain point, it became, ‘Well this is not someone I need to speak to because I don’t work for her, she doesn’t work for me. There’s no reason for us to interact for all intents and purposes.’ So we don’t.”
Seales noted she also had trouble getting into the 2018 Black Emmy party and when she reached out to Anderson about it, the publicist allegedly responded with: “Amanda, nobody has time for this right now,” she recalled Anderson as saying. “I do not have time for this!”
Meanwhile, her Twitter followers have slammed her for trying to attend an event where she’s clearly not welcomed.
“If someone puts together an event & doesn’t want you there, it truly doesn’t matter who invites you, you shouldn’t go. Why would you want to play into this? They won,” one person wrote.
Another added, “The entitlement is hilarious. Why does she keep insisting on going to this woman’s events when she knows the woman doesn’t care for her?”
“The fact that she went back the second year is mind boggling,” a third person tweeted. “If Vanessa don’t like you and Orchestrated the party then what you expect. She must’ve thought she was Rihanna or somebody.”
“Insecure” co-star Sarunas J. Jackson also chimed in with: “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.” His post has since been deleted.
