Recently, Ray J got to sit down with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay. It was here where Ray J spilled the beans on his interpersonal relationships and some of the situations he has dealt with over the years. During the interview, Sharpe asked if he could recall the moment he found out his sex tape had leaked. Instead of giving a serious answer, the artist said all he could remember was how it smelled. The artist was referring to Kim’s private parts, and the NSFW confession had him jokingly cowering behind Sharpe’s couch.
The singer subsequently hopped back over the couch and said that “it smelled good.” Sharpe didn’t really seem to understand what was happening, although it was all very humorous. Ray J is known for being an eccentric guy, and this interview was definitely a great example of this. There were many great tidbits throughout the talk, and it is yet another example of Club Shay Shay getting the rawest version of its guests.

Ray J is still relevant in 2024. The former R&B singer hasn’t scored a hit in over a decade, but he has continued to remain a cultural presence through interviews and reality TV shows. Why? Well, if you let Ray tell it, because he helped to create the pop culture world in which we currently live. Ray J recently went on Club Shay Shay, and he detailed the very specific ways in which his decisions back in the mid-2000s shaped the way that we consume media.
The bold declaration stemmed from the Kim Kardashian sex tape that was released in 2007. Club Shay Shay host Shannon Sharpe asked about the impact of the tape, and the “One Wish” singer didn’t mince words. “How different would we all be,” he asked in return. “How different would this whole f*cking thing be…How different would this industry be… Everything would be different.” The singer then went on to detail the ways in which pop culture would have differed. “There might not be any OnlyFans and all the things like that,” he posited. “All the opportunities like that… Probably more people would be going to college.”
Ray J Claims “Everything” Would Be Culturally Different
Ray J said the sex tape changed his career, but acknowledged that its impact was not entirely positive. “Are we a part of the cure or [are] we a part of the disease,” he wondered aloud. “I don’t know. All I know is I’m trying to make it right. Shannon Sharpe asked Ray J if he was embarrassed by the tape now, and he took a long pause before answering. “Yes,” Ray J admitted. “I have kids now… Everything I did now when we have kids is just totally different. The whole thing is wacky. With my kids it’s not ok.”
Ray is not the only person who feels as though the sex tape changed everything. Vince Staples has put forth a theory that the R&B singer is the most important person in pop culture over the last two decades. He had an entire GQ interview based around this theory in 2015. “Kim Kardashian is a great person, but Ray J does have a part in giving her such notoriety,” Staples posited. “Ray J is someone whos always in the mix. If you really think about everything thats going on today, Ray J is very, very good at making himself part of the conversation.”
For those who don’t recall, Katt William went wildly viral a few months back for his interview with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay. During the interview, the comedian made countless shocking claims about his celebrity peers, threw plenty of shade, and more. Today, a clip from his interview has resurfaced and is now going viral on Twitter/X. This is namely due to the footage of Diddy allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend CassieCNN released yesterday.
In the clip, Williams explains that for him, “race is not where the line is drawn” in response to backlash for speaking negatively about another Black man. “All of these big d*ck deviants is all catching hell in 2024. It’s up for all of them, it don’t matter if you Diddy or whoever you is… All lies will be exposed, that’s all,” he added.
Katt Williams Says “All Lies Will Be Exposed” In 2024 On Club Shay Shay
Countless social media users are now sharing the clip, with many labeling Williams a “prophet” for his apparent predictions. He’s not the only one who’s been raising red flags about the Bad Boy Records founder, however. Danity Kane performer Aubrey O’Day has also been a vocal critic of Diddy for years, claiming to have damning information. She was quick to address the newly surfaced footage of Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie, taking to Twitter yesterday to weigh in.
“The picture is getting a lot more clear for you all I can imagine,” she told her followers. “I’ll remind you that i haven’t spoken on my personal experience yet either. Prayers up for all his victims.” What do you think of social media users calling Katt Williams a “prophet” for what he said about Diddy during his viral Club Shay Shay interview?

Kel Mitchell’s Club Shay Shay interview with Shannon Sharpe dropped earlier this week, and unsurprisingly, it arrived with some now viral revelations. Mitchell accused his ex-wife Tyisha Hampton of infidelity, for example, alleging that she got pregnant with multiple other men throughout their marriage. After the interview came out, Hampton wasted no time, immediately denying the allegations and reiterating her previous abuse accusations. “Do you remember me catching you with a man?” she also asked her former spouse, alleging that he was the one to engage in an extramarital affair.
Mitchell’s daughter then chimed in on her father’s viral remarks in a few Instagram comments. She admitted that she’s “so disappointed,“ and said she’s been receiving hate due to his claims about her mother. According to her, he wasn’t telling the truth about her mother or stepfather.
Now, as fans continue to react to Mitchell’s claims, he’s shared a heartfelt message on Instagram. In it, he thanks his followers for all of the support he’s received since appearing on Club Shay Shay. “Dear Everyone,” it begins. “I am deeply moved by the outpouring of love, personal stories, and breakthroughs you’ve shared after my Club Shay Shay interview. Your support means the world to me. I will continue to pray for you and please pray for me…”

“Dad I honestly don’t understand why you keep putting this out here when I’ve told you men have been contacting me and calling me a sl*t because of my mother.

I’d choose a bear over a man,” she wrote in an Instagram comment today. “And my stepdad didn’t change our names to hide us away from you, we’ve talked about this and you know why it was because my mom never wanted my little siblings to feel different than us. You got my brother and I tested to see if we were yours while the dad who stepped up took over the role you let go, please speak the truth.”

In their Club Shay Shay interview, Amanda Seales revealed quite a lot to Shannon Sharpe. After stating, she lifted a lot of brothers, specifically naming Boldy James.
Airing out her laundry, Seales says, “I’ve done paid probation fees because n—as could rap and I want them to be able to live in their talent and their truth. I done spoke to a damn P.O. to vouch. Boldy James. And you owe me money.”
Boldy hasn’t confirmed or denied the accusations, and he may not have to. The Twitter streets found the facts in his raps.
During the same episode, Seales stated she does not feel protected by Issa Rae.
Seales appeared on Insecure with Issa Rae and revealed how their relationship went south during an Emmys party called the Black Emmys, which Issa was part of planning. Seales stated there was an issue between Seales and her publicist, but Issa Rae would not get involved in the matter. The following year, Seales stated she promoted the party and attended with Insecure co-star Kendrick Sampson but was stopped from entry by a woman who was “white-passing.”
Later in the conversation, Seales says, “I know Issa is doing something within this business that so few people get to do. I know her role is very important and so I’ve always protected Issa. However, there’s been enough instances at this point where I should’ve been protected by Issa and I wasn’t.”
She added, “My protecting of Issa is being turned on me and is something being used against me.”

Last week, Amanda Seales’ Club Shay Shay interview dropped, along with no shortage of interesting revelations. During the interview, for example, she reflected on just how far she’s gone to help out her Black former partners. She brought up Boldy James as an example, claiming to have previously spoken to a parole officer for him. Seales even accused him of being in debt to her.
“If I hate Black men, I want a refund, Shannon,” she told Sharpe, shutting down any rumors that she “hates” Black men. “You know how many brothers I have lifted up? I want a refund!” She went on, listing some of the instances where she went out of her way to help out her exes. “I’ve done paid probation fees because n***as could rap and I want them to be able to live in their talent and their truth,” she explained. “I done spoke to a damn P.O. [probation officer] to vouch, Boldy James. And you owe me money.”
Further details of Seales’ relationship with Boldy James remain unclear, though he did rap about her on his track “Guilt” in 2021. Back then, he referred to her as her character in My Brother and Me, Miss Wilburn. “Hunnid a G, ‘member I got fronted the key/ ‘Fore the bag came, my gas tank was under the E/ Life took a ill turn on that Sunderland spree/ Now I’m f*ckin’ Miss Wilburn from ‘My Brother and Me’,” he rhymed.
Elsewhere in her interview, she also reflected on the other artists she’s dated, like Pusha T and Lupe Fiasco. “As you can see, the rappers that I have dated are very great MCs, because I have high quality,” she said.

It’s been almost three years since HBO’s Insecure finished airing, and the critically acclaimed show continues spawning new fans. It is often named among the best comedy drama shows of the last decade, and rightly so. Its characters, and the actors who portrayed them, are also greatly loved by fans. However, it seems the chemistry and friendship some characters shared in the show does not exist in real life. For example, it’s been just about confirmed that Issa Rae and Amanda Seales are not the biggest fans of each other. Seales recently appeared in another viral episode of Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay. There, she spoke extensively about her and Issa’s failed friendship.
Amanda Seales Addresses Feud Rumors On Club Shay Shay
On April 24, 2024, an episode of Club Shay Shay featuring Amanda Seales premiered on YouTube. In the interview, the actress spoke about several interesting topics. However, the subject getting the most attention is what happened between Issa Rae and Amanda Seales. The two were co-stars on Insecure and were friendly a few years ago. Surprisingly, however, over the years, their relationship soured as they worked together on the set of the hit show. Many fans have noticed a distance between the two for some time, but it has been all speculation until now.
What Happened Between Amanda Seales & Issa Rae?
According to Amanda Seales, the rift between her and Issa Rae was first made apparent in 2019. She narrated to Shannon Sharpe how Vanessa Anderson, Rae’s publicist, barred her from entering into an Emmys party for Black actors in 2019. Subsequently, two days later, the Insecure creator reached out to Seales. However, she allegedly only claimed not to have anything to do with what happened and asked if Seales was willing to talk to Anderson.
“I’ve never talked about this publicly because it’s always been incredibly important to me to protect Issa,” Seales said. “However, there’s just been enough instances at this point where I should have been protected by Issa, and I wasn’t,” she continued. According to Seales, being so protective of Issa Rae was becoming detrimental to her. “There’s a whole narrative that is completely false that people keep spinning. They keep saying, you know, that I’m this mean girl on this set, that I harmed these people on this set. I just want to point out something very basic. How can I be a mean girl on a set that ain’t my set? How? It’s your show. You are my boss. I don’t even have the capacity to be the mean girl here because you can fire me,” she continued.
Unfortunately, the tension between the two actors only grew from that point onwards. Their relationship did not improve. Instead, it deteriorated to the point where other castmates could tell things weren’t great between them. “Everybody knows what’s going on. They don’t say nothing to me. And that’s just f*cking mean. It’s mean,” Seales said. Speaking further on the topic, she shared, “By the end of the show, you know, there were just certain scenarios where I had to really always be the bigger person and be the balm to the situation. And in Season 5, she just came out of her face at me one time too many and I just chose to stop being the balm because the show was wrapping.” When Sharpe asked Seales what she did, Seales replied, “Nothing, I just stopped communicating.”
Afterward, Sharpe mentioned that many people consider Issa Rae to be very empowering to women, but Amanda Seales disagreed. “She wasn’t empowering to me. [Issa] didn’t feel like I was needed. She didn’t feel like I deserved to be protected,” Seales said. “I’m only giving a portion of the situation. But that was my experience. And nonetheless, I have still always protected her because I felt like it was my responsibility to do so. But it is not.”
Issa Rae has not commented on Seales’s allegations at this time. However, fans are anticipating her reaction if it ever arrives.
Actress, comedian, and TV personality Amanda Seales joined Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay for an extensive three-hour discussion. During the conversation, Seales delved into quite a bit of detail about her life and career thus far. There were more than a couple of bombshells revealed during the discussion that have since gone viral. In true Amanda fashion, there were also important conversations about racism, bias, and mental health. In fact, social media has been pretty united in claiming that perhaps Sharpe was not the best interviewer for someone like Seales. Nonetheless, here are some of the biggest takeaways from Amanda Seales’ appearance on Club Shay Shay.
During her time on Club Shay Shay, Amanda Seales addressed her rumored conflict with Issa Rae. Despite speculation that their issues originated during their time on Insecure, Seales clarified that it was Rae’s publicist who initially had an issue with her. However, Seales believes this snowballed into Rae failing to protect her. Reflecting on their rumored conflict during the series’ production, she said, “So, I’ve never talked about this publicly because it has always been incredibly important to me to protect Issa. Because I know that Issa is doing something within this business that so few people get to do. And it’s not something I desire to do… She wasn’t empowering to me. She didn’t feel like I deserved to be protected. But that was my experience. And nonetheless, I have still always protected her because I felt like it was my responsibility to do so. But it is not.”
Her Autism Diagnosis
In the three-hour interview with the retired athlete-turned-podcaster, Amanda Seales disclosed that she is on the autism spectrum. She described her current state as one of evolution, acknowledging that she has been receiving a mix of new information and criticism simultaneously. She stated: “I was recently diagnosed as someone who has autism spectrum disorder which is very difficult to identify in Black women because of racism. What it typically means is that your brain functions in a different way, so you’re neurodivergent. When you take the test, you’re like ‘Hold up! I’ve been thinking my whole life that this was a problem.’ The fact that I have to be doing things all of the time to be stimulated. It’s literally called stimming. These are small things that are indicative of how your brain functions in a very particular way. It’s also atypical to the way our society functions.”
This particular discussion has since garnered criticism. During the show, Sharpe questioned Seales on whether she had received a professional autism diagnosis, to which she responded, “Yes. There is a clinical diagnosis for autism.” This statement, which has been translated to Seales, in fact, not receiving a clinical diagnosis, raised eyebrows. Nonetheless, she took to social media soon after to clarify that she had not been officially diagnosed by a doctor.
Amanda Seales has often been referred to as headstrong and direct. On the podcast, she explained the origins of her confident demeanor, tracing it back to her gymnastics and theater roots. Reflecting on her mindset, Seales revealed that she was heavily influenced by her coach, theater director, and mother, who pushed her rigorously and held high expectations for perfection. She also mentioned developing a strong sense of professionalism from a very young age. Recollecting those times, she stated, “That’s what I come from, people expecting you to be at your best when they’re not looking. That’s how I’ve always operated but you go through life and you realize that’s not how everybody operates.”
Experiencing Racism On Set
Some of the most viral moments from Amanda Seales’ time on Club Shay Shay revolved around the topic of racism. Sometime during their conversation, Seales discussed her experience as a former Disney child star. She recalled incidents where she was called slurs by her white peers on set. As the only Black girl present, Seales considered this behavior to be racist. When Shannon Sharpe questioned her experience by suggesting that kids are not accountable for such behavior due to their age, Seales emphasized that it was indeed a form of racism, regardless of the perpetrators’ age. Frustrated, she said: “So, you have no problem with the children that were cursing out Ruby Bridges? And the Little Rock Nine? Do you think that was just them being kids?”
Seeking Therapy
On Club Shay Shay, Amanda Seales admitted that she struggled to comprehend why some people didn’t like her. She then disclosed that she sought therapy to address this issue, and credited therapy with enhancing her awareness of how others perceive her thoughts. “I started going to therapy because I was like, people kept telling me that no one likes me, and I do not understand it,” she said. “At some point, I thought I wasn’t likable because I had low self-esteem… I present to people in a way that they deem masculine but it’s really just passion and if they really were smart, they would understand that the passion that I speak with is the passion that I f*ck with so I don’t understand why they can’t do that math.”
During the interview, Sharpe brought up the topic of certain Black people who prefer to be in white spaces. Grasping where the conversation was heading, Seales immediately brought up Candace Owens’ name. She spoke about how the Black community has been taught to be forgiving, but really should only forgive those who ask. “It’s not her fault,” she began. “It’s the spaces that let her back in. We can’t just look at Black people and say ‘Is this skin folk or kin folk?’ All of these Black media spaces that took her back in… all these Black media spaces that have just excoriated me for weeks, I look at them and say ‘You are simply Black by name, because you are white by commerce.”
Emmanuel Acho And Angel Reese
Shannon Sharpe also brought up college basketballer Angel Reese and sports analyst Emmanuel Acho. Acho had recently criticized Reese for presenting herself as a villain during her college basketball days but not sticking to that image when confronted with losses. Unhappy with the entire fiasco, Amanda Seales used this opportunity to call out Acho and dish out her own criticism in defense of Reese. “She is a young person,” she said. “Do you know how disgusting that is? And that cornball ass n*gga who loves to make himself look like he’s the white people savior. Emmanuel Acho. ‘Come talk to me, white people. I’m the black guy that’s nice.’ Cut it out. It’s ridiculous.”
Amanda Seales is someone who never shies away from sharing her beliefs. The comedian, actress, dancer, and social justice advocate frequently weighs in on struggles the Black community faces. She’s also been a vocal critic of prominent Black spaces, accusing them of leaving her out and failing to recognize her for her work. While this has earned Seales a loyal fanbase, it’s also earned her a great deal of backlash. Regardless, she continues to speak her mind.
It was Seales’ outspokenness that made her the perfect guest to appear on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay this week, and as expected, the episode arrived with no shortage of interesting moments. At one point in the interview, for example, Seales recalled one of her first-ever encounters with racism. She detailed the troubling experience, which saw her get bullied and harassed by a group of non-Black peers as a child during a trip to Walt Disney World.
As Seales reflected on being called the N-word, being told she only got the opportunity because she’s Black, and more, Sharpe chimed in. “They’re kids,” he said, leaving Seales in a state of disbelief. “As a child, you never said anything derogatory? You were just this model citizen as a child?” She was quick to respond, making it clear that she was there to share her own experiences and how they’ve impacted her, and certainly not to defend her childhood bullies. “So you have no problem with the children that were cursing out Ruby Bridges?” she began. “And the Little Rock Nine?” Check out her full rebuttal above.
