Amanda Seales has received a lot of mixed reactions after she called Donald Trump’s assassination attempt staged.
In a now-deleted video, the actress shared why she believed that the assassination attempt was staged. “That was more staged than a Tyler Perry production of ‘Madea Runs for President,’” she said in the video. “Lived in Harlem long enough to know gunshots do not sound like making popcorn on the stove.”
Seales later insinuated that blood pellets could have been used such as they use in movies. “People used them at Halloween. It’s basically a pellet of fake blood that’s in your mouth and when you crush it blood comes out.” She also added her view on the attempt and said “he would not respond by raising his fist in the air triumphantly.” Her views garnered a lot of mixed reactions from social media users.
She would later double down on her comments after more details about the attempt came out and said in other videos that she’s posted that the attempt was real. People in her comments shared similar outlooks on the assassination attempt, while other people didn’t agree with her at all.
One person, in particular, DJ Akademiks, called her out and said, “Like some of y’all are so glued into whatever political view y’all have, y’all dismiss reality.” He went on to call her out of her name in his rant. “B***h, wake up. There’s a f*cking whole investigation by the FBI outside in Butler. Drive over there and go see if they’re investigating staged sh*t.”
Fans began to call him out for his constant disrespect towards women. One user wrote, “Time and time again, this man just comfortably disrespects Black women, but with Black men it’s never the same energy.”

However, fans are seemingly on Seales’s side about the attempt. One user wrote, “Tr*mp almost gets s*ot. Black Twitter: memes, jokes & videos saying that they think it was staged – without saying it was staged. Amanda Seales out loud: that sh*t was staged!”
