This very awkward interview that actually asked questions and broached sensitive topics had a purpose.

The reporter was told to be tough, because the producers of the celebrities interviewed are looking to make some changes and are going to use the interview as their impetus to do so.

‘The Real’: Amanda Seales Claps Back at ‘Extra’ Reporter Jennifer Lahmers’ Shady Interview

Amanda Seales joined The Real this season as the fifth host of the panel. The comedian joined Loni Love, Adrienne Bailon, Tamera Mowry, and Jeannie Mai to talk about the latest topics in pop culture. Following Tamar Braxton’s exit from the daytime program, the seat had seen a rotating chair of guest co-hosts. After four years since the former left, Seales became a fixed panelist at the table.

To celebrate the show’s 1,000th episode, Extra’s Jennifer Lahmers interviewed the cast about their experience. Things didn’t go smoothly as the latter seemingly took jabs at Seales, something fans noted on social media.

Lahmers’ first dig at Seales came after she noted that the co-hosts have done the show for six seasons, except for the Insecure actress who just joined this year.

“Does it feel like… it’s six seasons already. Not for you because you’re a newbie,” Lahmers singled Seales out and pointed at her.

Seales let the poke slide and said, “I’ve been in this game for a long time,” while co-host Love held her hand.The most awkward moment came after when Lahmers brought up the subject of Seales and Mai’s passionate debates.

“You and Jeannie have butted heads in a couple of topics…,” Lahmers said before Seales shut her down saying, “Stop!”

“You know what? We’re not butting heads,” Seales said while Mai touched her hand. “I think it’s very, very important especially at a table with diverse women to very clearly delineate. – Source

Jenn Lahmers also responded to the controversy on IG:

“Humble yourself, I wouldn’t change a thing about the way I conducted that interview – addressing a topic that had made numerous headlines across multiple outlets. This is my job as a correspondent. I did not keep pressing once I got an answer and that is all I will say on the matter.”
