After the explosive Season 15 reunion, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Amanda Frances is speaking out.
“Extra” talked to Amanda about where she stands with both Bozoma Saint John and Dorit Kemsley.
The season was drama-filled, but the three-part reunion was next level!
Amanda revealed, “By the reunion, I realized, ‘Hey, okay, people are going to throw stuff at you. You can throw stuff back at them and still be true to yourself. You don’t have to argue or fight or be mean or yell or scream or cry… In my head, I called it playing ping-pong, like bounce the energy back.”
Can Amanda and Boz come back from their drama?
She answered, “I honestly really believe that it should be fairly easy for her and I to get along. We had off-camera moments where we got along very well. We had on-camera moments where I thought we understood each other very well… But, like, I don’t think there’s any inherent reason to have, like, beef. I personally don’t.”
As for Boz suggesting Amanda's business was like a "cult," she answered, "It felt like, okay, so you're gonna say there's something wrong with my business, but then I explain the business, I explain the happy clients, and you can't really argue with that anymore, so now you're gonna say it's a cult. It just felt like a you-can-win moment."
She admitted, "The cult thing did hurt my feelings, because that's the idea that I would control people, that's the idea that I would somehow like take away their free will... I do the opposite. I help women think for themselves, get out of any situation that they're in that's controlling them and holding them back."
Amanda added, "The cult thing bothered me for a minute, but then eventually, I went like, I think I just have to lean in. I think I just have to be like, 'Welcome to my cult. Here's what we do over here. Here's how it works. Heres how happy we are in my cult.'"
But Amanda is still stinging from the comment Dorit made about her deceased son during a drama filled dinner party.
She said, “The idea that I weaponized my son on the anniversary or weaponized his death or whatever to get out of the hot seat — there was no hot seat. I hadn’t talked bad about Dorit… That’s the only one that is like, ‘Really? You can really believe that about a mom?’ That one kinda gets me."
So after everything, if Amanda gets the call to do another season of “"HOBH," would she come back?
She commented, “I am loosely aware of when the next season would start filming. It was mentioned to me. But they haven’t formally asked me back yet, right? I think there’s a good chance they’re going to, but then I have to decide, ‘Do I want to do that again?’
“You’ve gotta understand, it’s like three months of filming, but then it’s like six months of interviews, and then the show starts coming out and it’s media. I was cast this time last year — that means it did take one year of my life,” Amanda explained.
“It did take a full year, and it was a lot of the year. And I was still obviously running my business, doing my thing, but during the filming chunk of the year, it actually takes up a lot of psychological space doing the show. I wasn't having, like, creative business ideas. I wasn't thinking about the next launch. I wasn't in the space to create and do what I think I'm here to do, you know? The show took a lot... But then again, you have all these new people reading my book, checking out my courses, and that feels very meaningful."
Amanda would also have to have a conversation with husband Eddie, who she married during Season 15 in a quick and quiet courthouse wedding. They’re going to redo their “I dos” with a big wedding bash this fall.
She dished, “Despite the fact that it was filmed and all of that, it was beautiful because it was he and I and the kids. At the end of the day, I had that. I had the moment of saying, ‘I do’ and the ‘For richer or richer’ and him rolling his eyes at me and the us being us and the kids being there. I had that, and that's done, and we'll always have that. You know, because our wedding weekend coming up is gonna be busy. It's gonna be like five events over four days. It's gonna be busy, but now we have this."
After all the feuding this season, will any of Amanda’s “Housewives” castmates be there for the big day?
"Are we filming or not filming in this scenario?" Amanda questioned, before asking, "Can I plead the fifth?"
She offered, “I can tell you Kyle, Kathy, and Jennifer got save-the-dates. I can tell you that.”
