[The story contains spoilers for the fifth and final season of Insecure.]
Issa Rae says some Insecure fans are still unhappy with how the show ended, even years later.
The Emmy-winning series, which ended in December 2021 following a five-season fun, followed the everyday and sometimes awkward experiences of modern-day Black women. Rae not only co-created Insecure but she also starred in it.
The show concluded with Rae’s character Issa Dee rekindling her romantic relationship with Lawrence Walker (Jay Ellis). However, some fans weren’t too happy with this renewed romance as the pair had an on-again, off-again relationship throughout the series. Lawrence had also fathered a child with another woman, Condola Hayes (Christina Elmore), around the same time that he and Issa were discussing a future together.
Rae recently told People magazine that even four years later, “people are really mad about” how the hit show ended.
“People have told me to reshoot, which is crazy because they didn’t like the decision that Issa makes in the end,” the One of Them Days producer continued. “I get asked for season 6 a lot — even this morning [Jan. 30]. I had to just post because I got hacked this morning. Unfortunately, I fell for whatever phishing scams and now can’t get into my account. And I don’t even use it. So if you see crazy tweets for me, just know it’s not me [and I said], ‘Somebody, please help’ on my Insta Story. ‘I got hacked on Twitter.’ And somebody was like, ‘I’ll help you if you give me three more seasons of Insecure.’”
“So I’m like, y’all can’t even take me seriously,” Rae added.
Insecure also starred Yvonne Orji, Natasha Rothwell, Amanda Seales and Kendrick Sampson.
