While promoting her Lifetime show Single Black Female last month, Amber noted, “I am a single Black female. I am, I’m a single Black female but I’m not a crazy one like in the movie.”

Amber added that her breakup was “amicable.” She said, “I wish him the best. I don’t haven anything horrible or bad to say.”

During the podcast interview, Amber also talked about making her own happiness a priority.

“It’s taken me a couple years to understand that choosing myself is not selfish,” she said. “Making those decisions to actively choose yourself has really helped me say, ‘Oh god I really don’t feel like getting up that early tomorrow to work out but I have this, this and this to do in the afternoon and I need to get my mind right.’ And that is, ‘Amber, you choosing yourself.’”

Amber recently opened up about having to deal with people calling her Mercedes Jones in public still.
