The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is over for the season, and it is unclear who will be returning. One cast member who is definitely up in the air is newcomer Amanda Frances. She joined in Season 15, but the ladies, as well as viewers, were very torn on her. Now, she is opening up about how she was able to control herself during filming for RHOBH, even at its most combative. Keep reading for more details on what she had to say.
Amanda Frances Was Always In The Hot Seat
Much like Teddi Mellencamp being an accountability coach, Amanda Frances’ job made no sense. Her RHOBH co-stars tried to understand what she was and how she was so rich. She explained that she wrote a book and taught courses to women, but they felt she was a scammer. Moreover, some believed it was all part of an MLM. Yet, she maintained that she had perfected her craft and did not care what others thought. Amanda was also a mother and had a fiancé, whom she admitted that she made more than.
The women would come at her and challenge Amanda like vulchers, but she kept her cool. So, how was that possible? She explained that she repeated a mantra, especially at the dinners the cast attended:
“People ask me all the time how I stayed emotionally regulated at those dinner tables … and it goes something like this: You can’t hurt me. I’m okay inside of me, so nothing you say about me or to me is a real threat to me. It’s not a determiner of who I’m gonna be or what I’m gonna do. Your words aren’t truth for me beyond what I believe is truth for me, what I believe God believes about me.”
This seemed to keep Amanda grounded, and she realized that she was safe within her own mind and body. Eventually, she shared that time was a blessing, as what they said did not matter so much. It seems she could just brush it off and walk away. However, she seems not to want to be in the snake pit ever again, and it appears unlikely Amanda Frances would return to RHOBH.
Not Letting Go
Amanda Frances had some rough patches with her RHOBH co-stars, but one in particular was Bozoma Saint John. They are both powerful businesswomen, but Boz seemed to talk down to Amanda. It seems that Boz may have stated that Amanda’s life was not “pure,” something she wants to debunk. She maintains that she is extremely genuine from her thoughts to her job to her family, so whatever Boz thinks is false. However, Amanda may want to let what her co-star says go and focus on more positive things. Fans seem to appreciate Amanda and how genuine she was from start to finish, so maybe Bravo will find a way to get her back on RHOBH.
