During the episode, the actress revealed that she was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.

After the 3-hour-long interview was aired, Sharpe received lots of backlash, and fans even voiced their displeasure for ‘invalidating’ her experience with autism and racism.
The show sparked an online debate, and many comments were made, one of which was from former NBA star Gilbert Arenas.
He claimed that Amanda was single because she was “too smart” for a man, which the actress denied.
