Following news that Texas death row inmate Rodney Reed’s execution was stayed by the Texas Court of Appeals, several people on social media including actress and activist Amanda Seales spoke out on the facts on the case.
Amanda uploaded a 9-minute video to Instagram “What I wish I knew before rallying for Rodney Reed.” In the video, Amanda apologizes for rushing to support Reed without knowing all the information in regard to rape allegations against him unrelated to the murder case he was convicted in.
Activist Shaun King, who has been advocating for Reed’s exoneration, called out Amanda’s video for spreading information and claims that he and Reed’s family counted over 20 egregious factual errors in her “viral video.”
This prompted Amanda to hop on IG Live and straighten out a few things about what she said. (SWIPE) to see what was said and let us know your thoughts below.
