Jeannie Mai happily broke a prop bottle over Amanda Seales’ head on February 13 to initiate her on The Real! The "initiation" happened just a day after the two got into a heated argument on-air, and fans have noticed the cohosts have a lot of tension.
The Real hosts played a throwback clip from season 3 in which they were testing myths about how to cure hangovers. In the clip, Tamera Mowry said, “This myth is cracked” while she shockingly smashed a bottle on Jeannie’s head. Loni Love did the same to Adrienne Bailon, and Adrienne, 36, did it to Tamera, 41.
“Jeannie has been saying I need to be initiated,” Amanda, 38, revealed on The Real. “Me, being a benevolent broad, I will offer my skull up.” The initiation process is getting a stage prop wine bottle smashed on top of their heads.
Jeannie, 40, had a bottle ready behind her chair and asked, “Do I get to do the honors?”
“You wanted to do it!” Adrienne quipped. Amanda added, “Of course! The way they be saying we go at each other, you better.”
Jeannie admitted, “Oh my God I’m so excited,” as she prepped to smash the bottle on Amanda’s head. “We do this in love, right, guys?”
“That was a smack!” Tamera commented when Jeannie finally did it. “You are initiated! Welcome to the Fam!” Jeannie screamed before giving Amanda a big hug.

Amanda joked, “I'm going to get an ice pack. And we will be right back.”
Jeannie and Amanda got into heated debate on February 13. The two argued about whether or not Jussie Smollett should receive punishment if he is found guilty of a new six-count indictment alleging that he filed a false police report in January 2018. At the time the Empire star claimed he was a victim of a racial and homophobic hate crime.
Amanda argued, “Even if it was a hoax, this is really happening all the time. And even if it was a hoax for the sake of bringing attention to this, that is low-key noble. I am at my wits' end about censoring situations like this and wanting to make people pay.” Jeannie countered, “We need the right thing to happen. But if he did stage a crime, there has to be a punishment for that. We also need to have justice for all of those crimes that actually did happen or didn’t happen.”
“Soooo anybody else noticing the tension between Jeannie and Amanda?” one fan commented on social media. Another said, “Y’all look like y’all don’t even want to work with each other.”
The two co-hosts sit next to each other on the show. “Y’all better move these girls around,” one fan suggested. “When Amanda first came on, her and Jeannie didn’t like each other and we all clocked it. Then they are magically BFFs for a few weeks? Now they’re back to how they were.”
