The HBO series has come under fire for Amanda Seales' character, Tiffany DuBois, wearing outfits featuring AKA's salmon pink and apple green colors in the Season 5 premiere. In one scene, Tiffany sported a sweater featuring the historically Black sorority's Greek letters. Seales defended herself (https://twitter.com/Tamantha_5/status/1452489471006580742) on her Instagram Stories, saying she is "not a soror" but her character Tiffany is. When one AKA member called out Seales, Rae and the show on Twitter, tweeting: "This girl is not a Soror and had my SHIELD on her body?!," Rae responded with a since-deleted tweet. "Oh s***, let me tell @HBO to delete the one of the upcoming episodes then, hold on," Rae tweeted.
