Representation matters and you ladies did it with class. Please stay on," another added. "🙏 Prayers for you and the whole crew!!! COME ON season 9!!!! Thank you all for the fun information and entertainment you girls bring. Keep it coming!!!! Love you girls," a different fan said.
Some viewers also offered words of encouragement. "No matter what happens y'all gave us the best daytime show ever.

But why would The Real get canceled? The reports stated that it was due to low ratings, though this hasn’t been confirmed. Throughout the show's eight seasons, viewers have watched the hosts' lives evolve, including that of previous stars Tamar Braxton, Tamera Mowry-Housley and Amanda Seales. The daytime TV show cast openly discusses important topics like dating, marriage, divorce, motherhood, infertility and more.
Fans of the series witnessed Adrienne become the first Latina host of a daytime talk show in the U.S. and later, cheered her on when she fell in love with her husband, Israel Houghton. Many lent their support when Jeannie married Jeezy and celebrated the arrival of their daughter, Monaco Mai Jenkins.
