Tensions are unlikely to ease between Dorit Kemsley and newcomer Amanda Frances following the latest episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
“We don’t make amends,” Amanda, 41, revealed exclusively to Us Weekly in anticipation of the RHOBH episode airing on Thursday, January 22. “The opportunity was there, but it didn’t happen.”
In this week’s installment of RHOBH season 15, the ladies gather for dinner at the home of new Housewife Rachel Zoe. During the event, Dorit addresses Amanda over remarks she had come across. Amanda had previously voiced her unease regarding Dorit’s public discussions about her estranged husband, PK Kemsley, amid their separation.
Amanda shared with the group that she was “barely hanging on” as she marked the third anniversary of her son Zion’s passing. She had previously disclosed that she and her fiancé, Eddie Tsivislavsky, welcomed twins prematurely in 2022. Tragically, their son Zion passed away in Amanda’s arms at just five days old, while his brother, Canaan, survived after a NICU stay.
However, that didn’t stop Dorit from asking for clarification from her costar.
“For me, an apology and hearing about what was going on for her and where she was in her divorce situation, and me explaining what it was to have twins and lose a child … it could have been a get to know each other moment,” Amanda explained to Us. “It could have been bonding. We could have repaired. We could have recovered.”

Amanda teased that as the season continues, she tries to form a friendship with Dorit — but things don’t work out.
“Viewers will see me in future episodes, try very hard to just sit down with her and work it out,” Amanda told Us. “The woman was very committed and devoted to only talking to me if it could be a loud dinner table spectacle kind of thing.”
Amanda noted that it “still feels completely unnecessary” for Dorit to hash out their issues in such a public manner.
In her confessional during Thursday’s episode, Amanda claimed Dorit was “accusatory” and had a “very attacking style of energy.” A preview for next week’s RHOBH episode also showed Amanda claiming that Dorit “verbally accosted” her at the dinner.
Amanda doubled down on these claims during her conversation with Us.
“It felt very aggressive to me in that moment, and it felt out of nowhere. Is the average person going to consider that a verbal accosting or whatever? I don’t know, maybe not,” Amanda said. “But I don’t know that anyone gets to tell me how to feel or experience things on that day.”

She added, “I think the minute I told her what the day was, it should have been, ‘I’m so sorry I had no idea.’ Her thing is going to be that she didn’t know, and my thing is going to be that I told her.”
Amanda claimed that she only should have had to mention her late son “once” at the dinner table before Dorit dropped the confrontation.
“When it should have been, like, let’s talk about something else,” she said.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET and streams the next day on Peacock.
