Amanda Frances believes her interactions with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast were unjust.
After a preview of the upcoming reunion was released, where she clashed with Rachel Zoe, 54, and Erika Jayne, 54, regarding her behavior during season 15, Amanda, 41, expressed her thoughts in several remarks. She notably labeled Rachel as the “meanest” among the group.
In a sneak peek posted by Real Housewives Zone on Instagram, Erika confronted Amanda for instructing the camera crew in Sedona to capture her Chanel bag on film.
“You cannot lead with that stuff. We are too old and too experienced. We want you, not the veneer,” Erika commented.
“I think it was a misconception that I was somehow hiding me,” Amanda replied, as Erika confirmed, “It felt that way.”
Host Andy Cohen, 57, then turned to Rachel and mentioned that she had a hard time with Amanda because she felt that she acted strong while also playing the victim.
“I think the conflict that I’ve had is what you just said about how you want to teach women and how you want to walk in every room and everyone knows who you are,” Rachel explained, as Amanda insisted she “never” said that.
“I said I’m used to when I walk in a room, people know who I am and what I do. They know my heart. They know my intention,” she clarified.
But both Erika and Rachel argued that she did not say that.
“That’s how you took it,” Amanda alleged.
“It’s not how I took it, it’s what you said,” Rachel fired back. “So I guess what I’m saying is like, because when you say those things and not followed by the explanation of why you’re saying it, how could I hear it differently? So I’m saying, who actually says that?”
“If you knew who I was and what I do, you would know that’s not what I meant,” Amanda noted.
“But I don’t,” Rachel responded.
Meanwhile, Erika said that the cast was trying to get to know her before she “rubbed everybody the wrong way.”
“It’s hard to do that in this group,” Erika noted.
“Well, I did it,” Amanda admitted.
Once the clip was posted, Amanda weighed in with a comment, accusing her co-stars of being hypocritical.
“[Rachel] can have emotions about lost luggage and [her] ex moving on, but I can’t have emotions about losing a kid and being dog [piled] on?” she asked. “Y’all gotta stop sending me this stuff.”
Another IG user accused Rachel of being “mean” to Amanda.
“Love Amanda on the show and it’s sad to see that Rachel is showing her true ‘mean girl’ [colors]?!” they wrote.
“Meanest of them all,” Amanda replied.
Someone else suggested that Amanda had been contradictory.
“What I love is when Amanda says things in the after show but her head is shaking no at the same time contradicting what she says. She’s on this show to market her self published books and her courses,” they stated.
And Amanda agreed, saying, “lol yes, why else?! Every person on those couches wants the exposure.”
The three-part Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 reunion begins Thursday, April 23, at 8/7c on Bravo.
