Amanda Frances reacted to Kyle Richards‘ concerns about Dorit Kemsley‘s spending on Watch What Happens Live on Thursday night, following the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
As she also clapped back at Bozoma “Boz” Saint John‘s suggestion that she was scamming people with her money-making business, explained why she frequently name-dropped designers, and confirmed whether her fiance, Eddie Tsivislavsky, was bothered by her saying how much more she makes than him, Amanda, 41, shared her one regret, spoke of her upcoming wedding, and teased the reunion.
“[Kyle’s concerns about Dorit’s spending were] very reasonable,” Amanda stated on the February 26 episode of WWHL. “I mean, we saw [Dorit] tell me that there’s no known retirement that she knows of, there’s no known investments. She expressed concern around her financial situation to me, so … I think that can be concerning, but Dorit’s a grown person, so if she tells us she’s fine, that’s all we can do.”
Reacting to Boz’s shade, Amanda said she doesn’t agree that businesses take money from people.
“I’m an adult woman with autonomy. When I choose to spend money on a product or service, that is my choice. No one can take money from me,” she reasoned. “My money is my own, and I can do with it what I please … And then I would say 10s of thousands of women chose to spend their money on my products and services on repeat because they like them.”
“Where’s the scam in that?” she asked.
“And when you’ve spent 15 years crafting these courses and this content and pouring your heart and soul into it all day everyday like, relentlessly, like constant all nighters, combining my education with my beliefs with my skill set to create something meaningful that matters, that a lot of people love, it sucks to be told that it’s somehow a scam because it has manifestation and spirituality,” she went on. “That’s crazy.”
Then, asked if she regretted the number of times she name-dropped designers, Amanda said she was annoyed by the accusation.
“One, I’m on a television show about rich women with cool sh*t. I thought that’s what we were doing,” she said, firing back. “Two, I was looking for commonalities. I thought this was something we all had in common. I didn’t know them very well. Three, I think it’s funny to say, like, I have sunscreen in my Chanel backpack. The juxtaposition of like, I’m hiking with Chanel I think is really cute and really funny … [and] everyone else does it … [And] I think if we were to rewatch with a little lens of pride and a little lens of gratitude, you might just think, she’s really proud of herself and really grateful for what she has.”
Regarding whether Eddie was offended when she said she makes more in one month than he does in a year, Amanda confirmed, “[He] really doesn’t.”
“He knows I’m the breadwinner,” she explained. “So he doesn’t find it emasculating or anything like that. And you know how we got there? I think this is important: I have explained to him, like, in detail, I grew up in the ’80s. I grew up when I didn’t see women as breadwinners. I grew up in a world where what I do wasn’t even possible. So I’m gonna own this. Like, I’m gonna own being a woman that can do this, and he thinks it’s hot and he kinda supports it — kinda’s not the right word. He very much supports it.”
When asked about the long business call she took in the car with her castmates, Amanda denied it was a call at all.
“It was voice memos. [And] they were not that long,” she stated.
She also denied throwing Kyle under the bus amid her drama with Dorit.
”I take issue with, me and Kyle both don’t think I threw her under the bus. I told them what happened in the order in which it happened,” she shared.
As for her regrets, Amanda said that she didn’t wish she could take back her comment about Dorit outsourcing her finances to a man, and it not going well.
“That’s what happened,” she pointed out.
According to Amanda, she had just one regret, and that was her manifestation party — but she didn’t fully regret it.
“Big regret except not because I redid it digitally, and that went very well for me,” she noted.
As her wedding date of October 10, 2026, approaches, Amanda said that she didn’t know how much she’d spent.
“I’m planning to get married once, and I’ve been waiting on this my whole life, and it’s my money to do what I want with it. And I mean, I’m spending money on some things,” she told host Andy Cohen, 57.
Also on the live broadcast, Amanda said she was working on being more assertive on RHOBH.
“You see me do it more and more … We see me figure out how to stay true to myself and stand up to them at the same time, and that was a struggle for me,” she shared. “I was like, how am I gonna stand up for myself when I’m not going to do all the things they do within themselves, if I’m not gonna yell and scream.”
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Amanda was asked if she still wanted to be friends with Erika after Erika shaded her in her confessional over their car ride drama.
“That bothered me a little because, I don’t know, I was audio-ing back and forth with my team a little, and in the car we spoke about a lot of things, some vulnerable things, some interesting things. Me and Rachel talked about some business things because one of my audios was about having to let someone go. We were talking about hiring and firing. It wasn’t just me on the phone, ignoring everyone. We actually spoke about the contents of it, so I don’t know if it’s what it seemed,” she explained.
Then, looking forward to the reunion, Amanda said she hoped to set the record straight regarding her drama with Dorit.
“I think that the idea that I was talking bad about Dorit, now that we’ve actually seen that scene, I’m really looking forward to talking about that because it was so benign. I said nothing, and then I, when Jennifer was like, ‘Well, you know, she spoke about her ex being an alcoholic,’ I said, ‘Well, if it’s true.’ It wasn’t that I was against Dorit. I was just having a group conversation,” she clarified. “I was like, ‘Kyle told me this.’ It wasn’t me going after anyone, and then we had to talk about it for four dinners.”
