In addition to Rae, Insecure stars Yvonne Orji, Natasha Rothwell, and Amanda Seales. Jay Ellis is an original cast member, having joined Insecure in season 1 as Issa’s live-in boyfriend Lawrence. At the outset of the series, Lawrence is an unemployed, uninspired couch potato. Over the course of the show, Lawrence undergoes a series of changes, morphing from adrift twenty-something to hapless lothario to settled father, until he ultimately reunites with Issa at the end of season 5.

Now, Jay Ellis has taken to Twitterto share the real-life perils of playing such a polarizing character.

Lawrence was only in four episodes of Insecure’s third season, with Ellis briefly demoted from main character to recurring. That was apparently enough to incense the rabid fan.

The general consensus, however, is that some people take their television a little too seriously. 

With Insecure having aired its series finale in December, Ellis is free to move on to newer projects whose fans show
