Boz Saint John has taken issue with Amanda Frances‘s recent assertion on screen that “disagreement” doesn’t necessarily equate to “conflict.” She also discussed the notion that joining Real Housewives of Beverly Hills might have jeopardized her corporate reputation, while teasing more drama to come in the season.

During a recent episode, Amanda argued with Dorit Kemsley and suggested that disagreements can occur without leading to conflict. This statement was met with skepticism from Boz and Erika Jayne, although Amanda stood firm on her view. In a confessional segment, Boz speculated that Amanda’s comments might have been an attempt to assert control.

Boz addressed the situation in a video posted on Instagram.

“It’s clear that a lot of people have strong reactions,” Boz remarked. “I want to set the record straight. When it was announced that I was joining the show, there were mixed opinions. Some questioned why I would risk my well-established corporate reputation to appear on television and engage in conflicts with other women. My response was, ‘Hold on a moment. Is that really what we’re doing here? Because I don’t agree.’

“So a lot of feathers are ruffled,” said Boz. “And I’m here to talk about it. … When it was announced that I was joining the show, people had a lot of opinions. Some were like, why would you risk your storied corporate reputation to go on TV and fight with women? And I was like, wait, hold on. Is that what we’re doing? Because I don’t think so.”

“The truth of the matter is that this time of life is so complicated. It comes with its own drama, okay? Women in their 40s and 50s are dealing with … careers that maybe need a pivot or maybe need reinvention, long relationships that maybe are coming to an end or need another spark, and a myriad of things, including hormones that are out of whack,” she continued. “So the question that has come up is whether or not disagreement needs conflict.”

According to Boz, “disagreement is conflict.”

“It is inherently conflict, because when you have two different opinions, they are conflicting opinions,” she said. “And it’s not whether or not conflict is necessary, because it is. … We’re all human. But whether or not you know how to solve it, that is the question at hand. So this all started with this particular conversation that we had at the table.”

She then showed a clip of Amanda’s argument.

“Can friends have disagreements that don’t have conflict?” Boz later asked her followers. “Does conflict mean chaos? Do you know how to resolve your conflicts? Have you lost friends because of conflict? By the way, if you haven’t seen the mid-season trailer for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, go watch that. Because the first half was building up to everything that’s coming. And lord, it is a lot of conflict going on.”

In her hashtags, Boz wrote, “Wait what show is this,” and, “Oh yeah, the one about conflict.”
