Amanda goes WEST without CIARA

West + Amanda went public. The internet went to court.

And once again, the question became: “How does Ciara feel?”—and even worse, “Is she handling it the right way?” In this episode, we use the Summer House triangle (West, Amanda, Ciara) to unpack a familiar blueprint: disrespect toward Black women gets normalized, and then Black women get policed for their response—especially when the response is simply a boundary. We connect today’s fandom discourse to Malcolm X’s indictment: Black women are disrespected, unprotected, and neglected—then blamed for reacting.
