Tracee Ellis Ross Says Barack Obama Once 'Failed' Her as a Friend – Here's Why!
We all have those friends who offer hindsight advice, right? Well, even celebrities aren't immune! Actress Tracee Ellis Ross, known for her roles in Black-ish and other fantastic projects, recently shared a funny anecdote about a time when former President Barack Obama didn't quite live up to his friend duties.

During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Tracee revealed that she once confided in Obama about a breakup. His response? Apparently, he said, "I could have told you that." Ouch! Tracee, in her signature playful style, responded that he had "failed" her as a friend, suggesting he should have offered that insight *before* the split.
But don't worry, there's no real beef here! Tracee clarified that she's since forgiven the former president and even jokes that she goes to him for "dating advice." Can you imagine getting dating tips from Barack Obama? Talk about a conversation starter!
The actress, who is also the daughter of the legendary Diana Ross, seems to have a grounded approach to dating. She confessed that she’s not a fan of dating apps, finding the experience akin to "shopping" for a partner. Instead, she prefers meeting potential suitors "in the wild." Good for her!
While she hasn’t specifically asked Michelle Obama to play matchmaker (yet!), Tracee mentioned that she's open to being set up by friends. Considering her close relationship with the Obamas – she even appeared on Michelle Obama's podcast – it seems like a missed opportunity! Perhaps a double date with the former First Couple is in her future.
