Jay Ellis dropped by to discuss the success of HBO’s “Insecure,” but things got a little weird after Charlamagne put him on blast for having a white girlfriend.
When the radio personality put him on the spot about it and asked him if he’s afraid black women may boycott him for it, Jay says:
“I am in a relationship. I’m in a very happy relationship and that’s where I leave it. I don’t really worry about anything else and that’s it. I think for me, we give so much of ourselves in what we do no matter what side of the industry we’re on so for me…a relationship for me is probably the most important thing that I think two people can have.
“So I value privacy and respect of not only myself but whoever I’m with.”
We’re not sure why Jay won’t confirm that he’s dating up and coming actress/model Nina Senicar:

Check out the interview below. Charlamagne brings up Jay’s white girlfriend at the 25:00 minute mark:
She has an interesting face…that’s all I’m going to say.
He can claim his girlfriend. I’m not watching the show for him, I’m watching it to support Issa and Yvonne.
There’s no need to lie. We already knew this.
Right.
You ain’t got to lie Craig!!! Lol
Who the fawk cares. He is not the cute to begin with. Even when the man is gorgeous i still don’t pay mind
What the f-ck? What annoys me more than anything is when these n-ggas lie! Sh-t is so weird to me.
I’m going to be nice today.
LOL. I’m still going to watch the show but his girlfriend should feel some kind of way. He really refused to claim her.
This day an age it shouldnt shock anybody, actors/actresses about they paycheck so they take roles that are a complete contradiction to their actual lives
His personal life is his to share or not. He no different than Kerry Washington. They want to keep their personal lives for themselves.
Charla just wants us to act a plum fool about the but we don’t care. Boy bye.
This is what these black actors do. They get famous off black women and the whole time they don’t even think we’re worthy enough to date. But the only reason we aren’t going to drag him is because we love Insecure and like Queen said, we’re not watching it for him anyway. We’re here for Issa, Yvonne and all the other black actresses. So whatever.
I wanted to say this as constructive as you but I couldn’t. Thank you
Frankly idc what he does in his personal life. He’s an entertainer. It’s no one’s business whom he dates or marries. It’s his personal choice to date whatever woman he falls in love with. Not mad at him for that. As long as he respects women of his own race and uplifts them.. do u Jay!
Black men are so messed up. In about 20 years, the stats will be 65% of black men are dating/marrying out. Meanwhile black women remain too loyal and rarely end up with non black men. We really are the backbone of the race. Then we’re supposed to be ok when they drag us in public. I’m tired of it.
Charla is so messy.
I think it’s messed up that he’s not claiming her when she claims him on Instagram all the time. Black women got him that shook?
Why can’t these black men ever get the fly white chicks? They never get the white women white men actually want. They only get the scraps ?. Even Ye couldn’t get Kim while she was in her prime. What’s up with that?
He lost points for not claiming her!! That’s so wrong!!
I don’t think it matter who people date. It is really not anyone’s business in my opinion.
