Amanda Frances has confirmed that she will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for its upcoming 16th season.

As Jennifer Tilly, 67, and Kathy Hilton, 67, reacted to her departure, which came after just one season of feuding with Dorit Kemsley, 50, over her divorce, and with Bozoma “Boz” Saint John, 49, over her controversial business, Amanda, 40, expressed gratitude as she prepared to move on.

“My time on [RHOBH] is complete,” Amanda began on August 5. “Saying yes to this show was one of the boldest, wildest, most clarifying things I’ve ever done. And I am genuinely grateful—Grateful for the experience. The women. The viewers who saw me, rooted for me, challenged me, quoted me, misunderstood me, defended me, found my work, bought my books, or simply watched me try to explain metaphysics in a room full of diamonds and side-eyes.”

“It was a ministry, honestly,” she noted. “But I came into this experience with an already-full life. And right now, that life is asking for all of me.”

According to Amanda, she has a lot to focus on outside of Bravo, including the August 18 release of her new teaching memoir, Holy F*ck: God Wants You To Have It All, her fall wedding to Eddie Tsivislavsky, 40, and her kids.

“I am creating, teaching, building, and continuing the work I have done for over 15 years: Making sure women that they can have it f*cking all. And while this show gave me an incredible platform—A platform is not the same thing as a foundation. And of the greatest gifts of the experience was seeing just how strong my foundation actually is,” Amanda continued. “Listen: Every room has something to teach you. Some rooms expand you. Some challenge you. Some misunderstand you. Some show you parts of yourself you couldn’t have seen anywhere else. And some remind you who you already are.”

Amanda went on to say “thank you” to the show as she revealed she would be “taking the clarity, the lessons, the plot twists, the spiritual warfare, and the occasional deeply unnecessary dinner party drama into all that God [had for her] next.”

Amanda also added, “Say it with me: I win in the end.”

Following the sharing of the post, two of Amanda’s former co-stars weighed in, including Jennifer and Kathy, the first of whom seemed to suggest she would be part of season 16.

“Amanda, Good luck on your journey going forward. I can’t wait to read your new book! You are so funny and sweet and smart. We will miss you,” Jennifer wrote.
