🎤 Tracee Ellis Ross Calls Out Barack Obama for “Failing as a Friend” Over Dating Advice! 😂
Tracee Ellis Ross once called out Former President Barack Obama for being a bad friend because he didn’t stop her from making a dating mistake.
“I broke up with someone, and I remember running into the former president and he was like, ‘I could have told you that,’” Ross shared during her Thursday appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
“And I was like, ‘Well, you failed as a friend!’” she joked.

Ross added with a laugh, “Like, it was your job to say that before, you know what I mean? Like, nip it in the bud.”
Elsewhere in the episode, the “Girlfriends” star also shared that she sometimes relies on her friends to set her up with dating partners. But, she hasn’t yet gone Barack and his wife, Michelle Obama, for a potential pairing.
“I’ve never asked Michelle to set me up which I think perhaps is dumb and I need to get on that,” she admitted.
