Davina Potratz wants fans to know she was not fired by Amanda Frances.
Days after the 41-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newbie alleged that she had fired Davina, 45, after agreeing to appear as a buyer on Selling Sunset, Davina took to her TikTok account, where she shot down the claim, accused Amanda of being disrespectful and rude, and leaked the final text she sent to her in regard to her employment.
“So I wanted to clear something up about Amanda Frances. She likes to go around saying that she fired me. God knows what else she likes to say. What really happened is that she said she wanted to list with me. I got her on Selling Sunset. We filmed a bunch of scenes at her house. When it came time to sign the listing agreement, she was nowhere to be found,” Davina explained. “She ghosted me, did not respond, just blatantly disrespected, didn’t even have the decency to say, ‘I’ve changed my mind,’ or decided to work with someone else.”
Then, when another opportunity arose to film, Amanda, who has also been slammed as “not nice” by The Valley: Persian Style‘s Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi, 44, was suddenly responsive.
“When Selling Sunset producers reached out to say, ‘Hey, we want to film the conclusion of what happened,’ she was magically available, and that’s the scene you see with me and [Mary Fitzgerald-Bonnet] and her. At this point, the house was already pending on the MLS with a different agent, so it was already sold in escrow. And I was like, ‘Okay, this is so rude,’” Davina recalled.

Davina then shared the final text she sent to Amanda.
“Hi Beautiful, thank you for your reply!” it read. “I completely understand your position and have zero desire to push anyone to do anything, it’s just not who I am … You told me that you wanted to sell your house and sign a listing agreement so I got you on the show, based on good faith that was happening. This was the reason for my urgency, since we’re filming again soon and production asked for an update, along with the main fact that I didn’t want you to miss the height of the market. The market is very strong for sellers at the moment and summertime is the main selling season.”
“Regardless, it’s absolutely fine that you don’t want to sign an exclusive agreement now. I just appreciate the communication. At this point I don’t typically work with pocket listings but definitely want you to follow your heart and explore that with other agents,” she concluded.
While appearing on Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea last week, Amanda said that after Davina helped her find her first house in Bel Air, she suggested she let her find another home for Selling Sunset.
“I said, ‘Oh, that’s interesting.’ But the West Hollywood house wasn’t done. I was in the middle of a renovation. I finished the … renovation like six hours before the camera crew got there,” Amanda shared. “So when I’m telling her I need more time before I’m ready to sell, it’s because I haven’t even enjoyed the house yet.”
She then detailed the alleged firing of her fellow reality star.
“That final scene where I fired Davina – I [actually] fired her over six months before that,” she stated. “She [already] knew she was fired. When you see me sitting at my kitchen table, the house had already sold. I had people moving in on Monday. We filmed on a Thursday or Friday. … I did Selling Sunset a favor. They said, ‘We need you to do one more scene. We have to wrap up the story for Davina. Why didn’t you give her the listing?’ And I’m like, ‘Because she cares more about reality TV than being an agent.’ She was a good agent until we were filming.”
“She cared more about getting the selfie, in my house, of her rented Chanel outfit than she cared about actually helping me sell the house,” she added.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7/c on Bravo.
