Amanda Frances addressed her trolls after Thursday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
After facing backlash amid her ongoing feuds with Dorit Kemsley, 49, and other castmates, including Sutton Stracke, 54, Amanda, 41, took to social media to respond to the “bad” things being said about her, as she also shaded the cast for making “assumptions,” accused them of treating her as if she was “less than,” and revealed who was the most welcoming.
“Highly recommend doing exactly what you want to do, being exactly who you came here to be — with no apologies, no regrets — and big ole middle fingers to everything fcking else,” Amanda began in the caption of her February 12 post on Instagram. “What the trolls don’t realize, is when you talk THAT bad about me and I feel nothing other than pride for what I’ve created — I’m officially… unfuckwithable. Thanks for that.”
According to Amanda, the ill comments she’s seen from some haven’t deterred her from pushing full steam ahead when it comes to promoting herself and thus, her business.
“Say it with me: I’m only going to get bolder. I’m only going to shine brighter. I’m only going to make my message more and more know. I’m just getting started. And I’m not going… anywhere,” she declared. “If you’re interested to an energetic approach to handling the heaviness and noise of the internet … comment UNAVAILABLE. (Unavailable is a pay-what-you-feel training).”

Meanwhile, during an interview with OK! Magazine on February 12, Amanda admitted to feeling misunderstood by certain co-stars.
“I think it’s pretty clear that there were a few women who didn’t take the time to get to know me at all,” Amanda shared. “They made assumptions, didn’t ask questions and treated me as though I was somehow less than them. That says more about them than me. I’m not someone who feels the need to chase understanding where there’s no interest in it.”
Although Amanda faced adversity on the show, there was someone who made things a bit easier.
“[Kyle Richards] was the first person who genuinely took the time to get to know me. She asked questions, she was warm and she made me feel welcome early on,” Amanda revealed. “I appreciated that a lot, especially in an environment where not everyone is the same on and off camera, where things change quickly, and people can flip in a moment.”
She was also able to establish friendships with others as the season went on.
“I very much appreciated the humor and advice [Kathy Hilton] and [Jennifer Tilly] brought to my experience. And, in the end, [Sutton Stracke] became a friend to me. You’ll see,” she teased.
Amanda then noted that many have been supportive throughout her run on the show.
“As you know, Bravo fans can be very, very passionate, and very loud,” she said. “But it’s actually mostly been really beautiful. My longtime audience — people who’ve read my book (Rich As F***) and been in my programs for years — have been incredibly supportive and proud. There’s a whole new group of people finding me through the show, buying my book, joining the Amanda Frances app, and coming to things like my Vision Board training. That part has been really exciting for me.”
“Like any business owner, my job is to get my work into the world in a larger way,” she continued. “I believe deeply in what I teach and the impact it has, so I’m always open to opportunities that expand my reach. If something helps more people find the work, I’m all about it.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
