Amanda Seales: Speaking Out About Gaza & Hollywood

Season 1 Episode 114 | 26m 46s

What does it take to be politically outspoken in Hollywood? You may know Amanda Seales from her role on HBO’s “Insecure”, her stand-up comedy, her podcast and radio show or viral videos on social media. She’s lost agents, her publicist, and had speaking gigs retracted for her commitment to social justice. Hear why Seales is taking backlash from her support for Palestinians as “a badge of honor”.
