It’s official! Amanda Seales has joined ‘The Real’ permanently.

Details below…

After touting a big announcement ahead of today’s show, anchors Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, Tamera Mowry, and Adrienne Houghton welcomed Seales to join them as the fifth panelist.

Watch the teary moment:

Seales, who has made a splash as a singer, stand-up comic, and actress on ‘Insecure,’ takes the seat left vacant by Tamar Braxton – whose dramatic axing from the show in 2016 continues to birth new headlines.

Especially outspoken on issues of racial and social injustice, she ought to make a great addition to the panel. A refreshing one too.
