The Bold Type's Aisha Dee Is Actually Team Adena

In many ways, Aisha Dee is similar to her The Bold Type character Kat Edison, the intrepid social media editor who worked her ass off to become the first black department head of fictional glossy magazine Scarlet Like Kat, Dee is confident, honest, and cares about the imprint she leaves on the world "I'm sure anyone on this show will say that I like to be very vocal about how I feel" One example of a pitch she made: "We just started shooting season 3, and there was a scene centering around social media, and I asked them if I could do it with no makeup on.

They let me take off all my makeup, acne scars out." Another one fans might recognize: the body positivity shoot of the just-concluded second season, in which Kat, Sutton, and Jane modeled a series of fine jewelry in a rogue Scarlet photoshoot Not everything went so smoothly for Kat this season After Kat and Adena's whirlwind romance in season 1, she struggled to keep her footing in her first queer relationship.
