<p>Jackée Harry recently addressed how her treatment of Kenya Barris back in the day may have cost her a gig or two, though Twitter is firmly on her side!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Jackée Harry Let Her Ego Get The Best Of Her: &#8216;I Wasn&#8217;t Nice To Him&#8217;</h3>
<p>The matter came up while Jackée was chatting with Sheryl Lee Ralph for a digital <a href="https://www.essence.com/videos/watch-essence-roundtable-sheryl-lee-ralph-and-jackee-harry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Essence</em></a> feature. During the sit-down, Sheryl brought up the importance of being nice to everyone, even if they&#8217;re simply bringing you coffee, because you never know where they&#8217;ll be in the future.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;How many times has the young person that has brought me coffee ends up being the producer in the next five-to-ten years. Oh, I&#8217;ve seen that.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Sheryl added, &#8220;You gotta tamp that ego down and really have someone good to talk you off the cliff.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jackée then chimed in and revealed that, back while starring on <em>227</em>, she may have burned a bridge by not being friendly to Kenya Barris, who would deliver her scripts back in the day.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Well, I wasn&#8217;t talked off the cliff. You know who used to bring me my scripts for <em>227 </em>to my door and deliver them? Kenya Barris.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>She continued, noting that she &#8220;wasn&#8217;t nice to him&#8221;—and Kenya didn&#8217;t let her forget it!</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t nice to him. You see, look at me now. I ain&#8217;t lyin&#8217;—and he reminded me of it!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Jackée ultimately brushed off her behavior by nonchalantly saying, &#8220;It was the &#8217;80s, baby!&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Twitter Supports Jackée &; Speculates That Kenya Barris Must&#8217;ve Had It Coming</h3>
<p>Once Jackée&#8217;s comments began circulating, people on Twitter began chiming in and sided with the actress. They explained that &#8220;Kenya likely had bad vibes&#8221; and &#8220;needs&#8221; to be bullied some more.</p>

<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1610821210337677313" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>Many cited Kenya&#8217;s work—which brought about accusations that he had a &#8220;biracial obsession,&#8221; as <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/kenya-barris-accused-of-having-biracial-obsession-ahead-of-you-people-film/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Shade Room</em></a> previously reported—as justification for how Jackée treated him.</p>
