Amanda Seales Says “I Am Not The Issue!” When Challenged About Rodney Reed Controversy

Social media will not let comedian/activist Amanda Seales rest when it comes to her comments on Rodney Reed – a Texas inmate whose execution date was delayed indefinitely due to an outpouring of support regarding his murder/rape case. Amanda Seales recently commented that she felt tricked into supporting his campaign due to the fact that information was withheld from the public about prior accusations held against Rodney.

She was, then, called out by civil rights activist Shaun King for spewing “false information” regarding his other accusations.

But since, Amanda Seales is taking a hit in her social media comments about the case. Under a completely unrelated video of a recent meeting with “Seinfeld” actor, Jason Alexander, Instagram user @irenethedreem pressured Amanda to apologize for expressing regret in supporting his campaign. @irene commented:

“@irenethedreem Re: Rodney Reed. Why haven’t you apologized for lying on this man? And why are you so awake and aware when it comes to everything except mass incarceration of black and brown people. Use your intelligence and platfor to educate people on that! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the 13th amendment. You’re so problack but yet so disconnected from the biggest social injustice plaguing the black community.”

Amanda apologized for “presenting misinformation” by unknowingly skewing details of the case.

“@amandaseales @irenethedreem I am sorry that I got the terms of his first rape case incorrect. He was tried for only rape not rape and murder. I honestly had trouble keeping the specifics in order bcuz he has had so many rape allegations it is quite difficult to. Happy? Great. Now back to this joyful moment.”

User @bizznocuts, then, slammed the “Insecure” star for her thoughts on Rodney Reed’s case. Amanda reacted,

“@amandaseales @bizznocuts THE F*CK are you on about???? What apology are you so d*mn desperate for????? The n*gga has been accused of rape several times. The hell are you pressing me about an apology for???? T the f*ck focused! Y’all so d*mn lost it is blowing me godd*mn mind.

Yikes! Does Amanda Seales have a point when it comes to Rodney Reed’s prior rape allegations?
