The Bad: The Emmy Party Fiasco

This one was a whole to-do. Seales was initially not formally invited to an Emmy after-party celebrating Black Hollywood. She was not invited because of a less than glowing relationship with the publicist of Insecure co-star and creator Issa Rae. However, Seales said that actor Jesse Williams invited her to the event so she decided to show up.

Well, she would not be allowed into the event, claiming a white woman barred her from entering the party and had security remove her from the premises when she found her way in. She would later find that she was treated this way because Rae’s publicist didn’t want her to be there. Many wondered why she wanted, or felt entitled to be in a space she wasn’t invited to, and one of her co-stars even gave his two cents, criticizing her.

Afterward, Twitter accounts popped up claiming that Seales is an overall unpleasant person to work with and they were not surprised her “true colors” were being exposed as her career flourishes. However, until a full call-out post complete with tea, scones, and receipts find its way onto my timeline, it may be nothing but gossip and haters.
