THE REAL Hosts Are Down with Barbie’s New ‘Inclusive’ Line of Dolls – WATCH

YouTube video

*On Tuesday, Jan. 28, “The Real” hosts discuss Selena Gomez’s revelation that she was in an emotionally abusive relationship with Justin Bieber. Co-host Adrienne Houghton feels that everyone has the right to tell their own story, just as everyone will have their own opinion about it. Co-host Jeannie Mai feels that everybody’s journey takes its own time, and applauds Selena for sharing her story.

The ladies talk about the new PSA the NFL has released prior to Sunday’s Super Bowl, honoring the life of Botham Jean, the unarmed black man shot in his apartment in 2018. The ad will air during the game, and co-host Amanda Seales feels that while the NFL still has a long way to go, this is a step in the right direction.

Barbie’s new “inclusive” line of dolls is a hit with the hosts! Adrienne thinks the idea of having dolls that look like everyone will spark significant conversations with children, and Jeannie also points out how important it is for kids to have dolls in a variety of skin types.

And actor and musician Miles Brown stops by to talk about black-ish. He also shares stories about the times he met Kobe Bryant.

The Hosts On Selena Gomez’s Revelation of Emotional Abuse

Adrienne Houghton: I think it would be super-helpful if she could tell us like, “Ok, this is how you know you’re in an emotionally abusive relationship,” but… I love the saying that says, “You own your story.” And you have the right to share your story. And I heard a quote once that said, pretty much like, “You can tell your story and if people wanted you to speak nicely of them, they would have behaved better.” You know what I’m saying? Like so you have the right…

[The Real audience applauds]

Adrienne: But at the same time, we gotta keep it real… and recognize that while you are going to share your story, and you have to right to that, people have the right to their opinion on your story.

Adrienne: And to judge how long is too long to continue to say this story? You get what I’m saying? I know that there’s a lot of people that were saying online, “Ok, we know you went through some things, he’s obviously said that he’s so sorry, he was on drugs at the time,” I don’t know if they used drugs together, and he’s now moved on and he’s now married. So at what point do you stop telling this story?

Amanda Seales: It’s her story.

Jeannie Mai: That’s terrible. I hate that. I hate that because everybody’s journey to heal takes a certain amount of time. And I want to say that I applaud her, because part of showing you how you’ve dealt with emotional abuse and to own what has happened to you is to come out and speak about it. Some people, especially celebrities, it’s so easy to put on hair and makeup and come out here and act like everything’s all good. But it’s amazing for her at many awards shows and even at the McLean Hospital in Boston, she talked about having depression and anxiety. And so for her – I see that as she’s speaking about it, she is in a healing space. And I talked about drug used before. And I also applaud Justin Bieber, because like I said, there’s a dark space you hit when you hit the bottom. And when you do that, you don’t know what to do, and you act out in different way. Yo, people can sometimes be at a war with themselves but vicariously fight it through you.

Amanda: Of course.

Jeannie: And that’s what you feel. And that’s where you get the emotional abuse. So I just want to say for anybody that is feeling downtrodden, and you may feel like you’re being buried, but know that you also may be being planted for growth. And this is a moment to embrace that and to actually own what’s happening.
