Amanda Frances will not be featured on the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Following just one season on the Bravo reality series, during which she feuded with a number of her co-stars about her controversial money-making business and about the comments she made about Dorit Kemsley, 50, and her messy divorce from Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, producers failed to offer Amanda, 41, a contract for season 16.
TMZ confirmed the news on August 5, noting that Amanda may be surprised by the decision, since she recently said there was a “good chance” she’d be back.
“I think there’s a good chance they’re going to, but then I have to decide, ‘Do I want to do that again?’ You’ve gotta understand, it’s like three months of filming, but then it’s like six months of interviews, and then the show starts coming out and it’s media. I was cast this time last year — that means it did take one year of my life,” she told Extra TV in May.
A short time later, while appearing on an episode of The Viall Files, Amanda admitted that her time on RHOBH was “really hard on [her].”
“I don’t know if it’s something I want to do again,” Amanda admitted.
During the same interview, Amanda revealed that she did make some friends on the show.
“I’ve seen [Kathy Hilton] … I’m sure I’ll always be friendly with [Kyle Richards]. I think I’d always be friendly with [Jennifer Tilly]. I think almost everyone, if I saw them out of the context of the show, we’d be able to say ‘hello’ to each other,” she shared.
