Amanda Frances‘ old mugshot has resurfaced.
Weeks after the 40-year-old newbie made her debut on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a mugshot from what appears to have been a potential DUI was shared by the Pink Pop Box Podcast on Instagram.
In the podcast page’s photo, Amanda was seen, as was a screenshot of court records, which revealed that the incident in question occurred on March 12, 2016, and was marked as a “DUI/APC-Under Influence of Drugs.”
Along with the podcast’s image, the page revealed they had spoken with an alleged source who claimed to have been in the “spirit junkie community” with Amanda and accused her of ripping off someone else’s ideas.
“Allegedly, she broke with best-selling spiritual advisor Gabrielle Bernstein and left the spirit junkie community behind. Allegedly afterwards, allegedly, she began using the same business practices Gabby allegedly [employs]. It’s an easy trick, but allegedly over on Amazon, she has her books listed in an obscure category that makes it an instant bestseller when the books sell. Also, allegedly, she pulled the same trick [Scheana Shay] did by buying her own books for her book tours or events, driving her sales up into the best-selling status,” shared the Pink Pop Box Podcast.
As for the reported DUI charge, the page said, “It looks like Amanda did have a DUI situation. It was a DUI listed on the public records. And back in 2012, she had an alleged little issue with unpaid parking tickets.”

While Amanda doesn’t appear to have addressed her alleged DUI recently, she did share a post on Facebook in October 2018 in which she mentioned her mugshot.
“A little while ago, I read some super mean about me on the internet before bed. Like… probably the most hateful thing I had heard at that point,” Amanda began in the post. “As with all things that require internal processing, I had many emotions about this. At first, I was a little shaken. Then I remembered I didn’t have to care. Then I remembered it would contribute to my growth. Then I remembered I’d use it for the good of others. I tried to stay in this energy: Nothing to prove. No one to impress. Nothing to hide. But, off and on, it would really freak me out.”
Although Amanda didn’t say what exactly was said about her, she noted that people had begun sharing her 2016 mugshot. She then said that the case was “dismissed” as she denied having driven.
“The case has been longed dismissed as I never drove, but the existence of mugshot is still not my favorite thing,” she admitted.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
