During their conversation, Amanda addressed several topics, including the rumored “housewives curse” on marriages, speculation about her role in the end of her husband Eddie Tsivislavsky‘s first marriage, and the way her co-stars portray her business on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The 41-year-old also reflected on a regret from season 15 and shared insights into her wedding planning process.
On the June 3rd episode of The Viall Files, Amanda clarified Andy’s reaction during the reunion, stating, “The expression on [Andy’s] face when he said, ‘Really,’ was one of confusion, not doubt about her achievements as a woman. I believe he was simply puzzled, but he likely doesn’t mind the attention since it ultimately benefits the show, which is his main focus.”
Andy, 59, seemed to take the criticism in stride, later acknowledging Boz’s professional life on social media. However, Amanda speculated that Boz’s situation might be a fitting response to her previous comments about Amanda’s business.
While Andy, 59, took the call-out in stride, expressing his understanding of her professional life on social media after the fact, Amanda suggested that Boz got what she deserved after questioning her business.
“That’s karma in its truest form. Any energy you direct is going to be directed back at you so I don’t think it’s shocking that she tried to find things out about me and it in turn made people be like, ‘What about you?,’” she reasoned. “I’ve seen a lot of like, ‘Why does Amanda trigger her so bad? What is this really about?’”
Moving on to the housewives curse, Amanda said that you have to have “really thick skin” to bring your marriage onto a reality show.
“I think it’s really hard on relationships because even though we’ve been basically fine, there was a chunk of time when I was processing what it was for me, and [Eddie was] processing what it was for [him], and it wasn’t like, easy on us,” she admitted.
During Amanda’s debut season of RHOBH, she faced a rumor suggesting she’d come between Eddie, whom she married months ago in a courthouse ceremony with their kids, and his ex-wife.
“Can we tell humanity that I didn’t break up [his] marriage, cuz I’m so tired of that one … [his] ex was in a full relationship when [we met] … [But they] weren’t divorced yet because COVID delayed the paperwork … [I’m] not a home wrecker. Not even close,” Amanda insisted.
Meanwhile, Eddie also spoke out, confirming, “She did not break up my marriage … we were separated … she’s not a home wrecker but the timing didn’t make sense to some people because we were already dating and the divorce paperwork finally became final.”
Then addressing the speculation around her online money-making course business, Amanda said she didn’t realize the narrative that was being created until weeks into filming.
“We’re all filming interviews after we haven’t seen each other for months. Everyone’s more emboldened in their interviews, but that’s weird to see people you hung out with have these really strong opinions, but also, the narrative about my business, for example, I didn’t know it was happening until Italy,” she explained.
Looking back at potential regrets, Amanda first said she had “no regrets [about] how [she behaved].”
“Listen, had I researched castmates the way I was being researched and gone that avenue and then gone to dinner with them to try to take them down, I wouldn’t feel good about myself because that wouldn’t be true to me. I don’t care if it’s the way it normally goes on the show. I couldn’t live with it, so I didn’t do anything I can’t live with,” she explained.
That said, she did admit to having second thoughts about bragging about her designer duds.
“I would’ve done that differently, but that’s kind of like you don’t know until you know. I think those things were cute and funny,” she reasoned.
Also during the interview, after confirming a wedding date of October 10, 2026, Amanda said there was still “a lot to be done with wedding planning.”
“I’m honestly very behind. I don’t even have my dress,” she added.
