Recently, Amanda’s old mugshot resurfaced online, drawing attention from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans. Amanda, who has had her share of conflicts with Dorit during her debut season, admitted the mugshot wasn’t something she was particularly proud of.
Discussing the incident, Amanda shared on Housewives Nightcap, as reported by @byewighellodrama on Instagram, “The DUI incident happened in 2016. It’s almost a decade old. The charges were dropped, and my record was cleared. I hadn’t even left the parking spot; I was merely trying to move my car out of a lot before the gate closed. A man who had been pursuing my attention all night kept insisting, ‘You shouldn’t drive, you shouldn’t drive.’
“I was trapped with cars surrounding mine, so I decided to book an Uber,” she recounted. “When I stepped out to meet the Uber and reached for the door handle, a police officer tapped me and said, ‘That guy claims you were drinking and driving.’ I was upfront about trying to move my car and didn’t conceal anything. Despite my honesty, I was taken into custody.”
“Anyway, I was blocked and I couldn’t move my car — cars on all sides of me. I couldn’t get out. So I called an Uber,” she continued. “I stepped into the street. And as I was reaching for the door handle of the Uber, a cop tapped me on the shoulder and said, ‘That guy says you were drinking and driving.’ I said, ‘I tried to move my car.’ I was honest. I had nothing to hide. But I admitted that I tried to move my car. And so he arrested me.”
At one point, Amanda addressed Dorit’s on-screen reaction to the anniversary of her son’s passing. During the episode, Amanda seemingly had to tell Dorit twice that she didn’t want to argue because of the anniversary.
“I was shocked that I had to say it twice,” she said, via @therealityrundown on Instagram. “I was surprised that I had to say a second time, ‘Hey, I just told you what today was.’ You know, because I think the only appropriate reaction would have been like, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know. We’ll talk about this at a different time.’ I never got the feeling that she cared. You’ll [see]. I never got the feeling that she cared. Because someone who cared would have very sincerely been able to apologize.”
“It doesn’t get better,” she said. “I’m really, really sure … that we could have gotten better. We could have repaired. I wanted to. Like, the audience will see me try to. I asked her on a couple different occasions — like, step aside and talk to me.”
