RHOBH’s Amanda Frances Not Returning After One Season

RHOBH's Amanda Frances Reveals Which Castmates REALLY Have Her BackAmanda Frances is manifesting a new chapter. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star—who shook up the series' 15th season thanks to her "Money Queen" persona—announced she is moving on from Bravo's "incredible platform." "My time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is complete," the 40-year-old wrote in an Instagram statement Aug. 5. "Saying yes to this show was one of the boldest, wildest, most clarifying things I’ve ever done." Frances said that she was "grateful for the experience," including "the women" that the audience saw her manage friction with, including castmates Rachel Zoe, Dorit Kemsley and Sutton Stracke. And given the entrepreneur's impact on the reality TV fandom, where she drew followers and critics alike, she also thanked viewers who "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." Indeed, Frances' creative approach to topics like manifestation and money became the focus of her time on the show, a source of debate between her and costar Bozoma Saint John.Despite the memorable experiences, Frances noted that the demands of her "already-full life" had made her realize it was "time to leave," especially as she is releasing her book Holy F*ck later this month and planning her wedding to husband Eddie Tsivislavsky (who she legally married in 2025), with whom she shares four kids. As for Frances' favorite part of filming RHOBH? The reality star shared, "The greatest gifts of the experience was seeing just how strong my foundation actually is." As such, the financial coach signed off by thanking the city of Beverly Hills for the "the clarity, the lessons, the plot twists, the spiritual warfare and the occasional deeply unnecessary dinner party drama," adding, "I win in the end."Photo by: Trae Patton/Bravo via Getty ImagesAnd as fans expressed how much they'd miss watching Frances' unique point of view, Jennifer Tilly—a Beverly Hills Housewife for two seasons now—agreed the one-season wonder would also be missed by the cast. "Amanda, Good luck on your journey going forward," Tilly wrote in a comment. "I can’t wait to read your new book! You are so funny and sweet and smart. We will miss you." Read on for a look at Bravo's standout stars after 20 years of Real Housewives. Adam Olszweski/Bravo175-178. The Real Housewives of D.C.Bravo's ill-fated attempt at highlighting our nation's capital brought together four women so forgettable you'd be forgiven for erasing them from your memory—though their names are Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney and Stacie Scott Turner—and one so desperate for fame that she gate-crashed a party at the White House. More on her later.Chris McPherson/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank174. Kimberly Bryant, The Real Housewives of Orange CountyWho?Matthias Clamer/NBCU Photo Bank173. Tammy Knickerbocker, The Real Housewives of Orange CountyVaguely familiar, but...Virginia Sherwood/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank172. DeShawn Snow, The Real Housewives of AtlantaOnce upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as NeNe Leakes. Surprising, we know.Yavir Ramawtar/Bravo171. Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, The Real Housewives of Orange CountyThis one-season Housewife brought nothing to the Orange County table.Chad Kirkland/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank170. Jennie Nguyen, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake CityUtah's newest season two Housewife went out with a bang (and not in a good way). In January 2022, Jennie was fired after "offensive" and racially insensitive old Facebook posts resurfaced online. Jennie later apologized but the damage was done.Kelsey McNeal/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank169. Quinn Fry, The Real Housewives of Orange CountyHer defining trait was "cougar."Tommy Garcia/Bravo168. Jen Armstrong, The Real Housewives of Orange CountyThe Orange County doctor was never a source of drama during season 16 and her brief marriage troubles with eternally shirtless husband Ryne (or Ryan?) were less than riveting. However, we will never forget Dr. Jen getting absolutely wasted on wine during the Dubrows' insanely awkward—yet wildly entertaining—dinner party.Bravo167: Annemarie Wiley, The Real Housewives of Beverly HillsThe nurse anesthetist's flop first season can be summed up in one cringe-worthy word we hope we never hear again: Esophagus-gate. Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank166. Katie Rost, The Real Housewives of PotomacKatie loved to talk about her charity work, but...didn't do much else on screen. She was one and done, only to come back and not contribute much as a friend. Leaving the cast trip early? A Housewives no-no.Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank165. Charrisse Jackson Jordan, The Real Housewives of PotomacHer marriage problems were on full display the two seasons she was a full-time Housewife...that and her champagne room are the two memorable things about Charrisse.Alex Martinez/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank164. Shamari DeVoe, The Real Housewives of AtlantaA one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?Tommy Garcia/Bravo163. Peggy Sulahian, The Real Housewives of Orange CountyWhile it was nice to see some diversity in the lily-white O.C., Peggy ultimately proved to be a frustrating presence in season 12. The fights she chose to pick were bizarre, and often involving someone using a word she simply didn't understand, and her decision to simply hide out in her room for an entire day during the trip to Iceland proved that she wasn't really cut out for this Real Housewives life.Jai Lennard/Bravo162. Nneka Ihim, The Real Housewives of PotomacInstead of bonding with fellow Nigerian costar Wendy Osefo during season eight, Nneka's first season storyline centered entirely around her allegedly accusing Wendy's mom of being a witch (yes, seriously). We wish we could have seen the two bond over their shared culture rather than fighting with no resolve.Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank161. Noella Bergener, The Real Housewives of Orange CountyNoella spun through season 16 like a tornado of frantic energy. While her personal struggles were somewhat compelling (her husband James up and left the country and asked for a divorce right before filming started), it was her constant drama with queen bee Heather Dubrow that helped her not land completely at the bottom of the list. Maybe with more time and another season, we'll warm up to Mrs. Bergener.Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank160. Siggy Flicker, The Real Housewives of New JerseyFrom peacekeeper in her first season to unrelenting complaints about a thrown cake and unfounded claims of anti-Semitism in her second (and last) season, we're not sure we've ever seen a quicker Real Housewives fall from grace than this one.Alex Martinez/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank159. Amber Marchese, RHONJEverything Amber and her husband Jim did seemed to reek of desperation. Plus, he was involved in more of the drama than she was. Not a good look.Gustavo Caballero/Getty Images for Allied-THA158. Karent Sierra, The Real Housewives of MiamiAll we remember about Karent is that she was a dentist and none of her co-stars seemed to like her at all. Next!Alexander Tamargo/WireImage157. Cristy Rice,The Real Housewives of MiamiThis was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank156. Jules Wainstein, The Real Housewives of New York CityAs one of RHONY's more recent one-and-dones, Jules' tenure was too brief to rank any higher. However, she sure did deliver her fair share of drama. Phylicia J.L. Munn/Bravo155: Amanda Francis, The Real Housewives of Beverly HillsHate is a strong word, but it's hard to remember anyone who was as swiftly disliked by Bravo fans as RHOBH's season 15 newbie Amanda Francis. The author, financial advisor and self-professed "Money Queen" rubbed not only her castmates the wrong way, audiences were also put off by Amanda's obsession with material things and questionable career advise. But it was her refusal to engage in any sort of confrontation with her castmates that truly signaled she wasn't made out to be a Housewife. It's a hard job, and not everybody is meant to do it.Mike Pont/Getty Images153-154. Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano, RHONJSo unnecessary they couldn't even get individual taglines.Chris Haston/Bravo152. Nina Ali, The Real Housewives of DubaiMuch like co-star Sara Al Madani, Nina exemplified a multidimensional, successful Arab woman who is blending modern life with centuries-old cultural traditions. She avoided most of the season one drama and was sometimes overshadowed by her co-stars' bigger, louder personalities.Bravo151. Taleen Marie, The Real Housewives of DubaiTaleen was a nice addition to RHODubai's sophomore season, but we only have one season to judge her on.Phylicia J.L. Munn/Bravo150: Angel Massie, The Real Housewives of PotomacTo say Angel failed spectacularly at being a Housewife would be an understatement. With one miss after another, the WAG and wife of retired NFL star Bobby Massie fumbled her way through season 10 as her more seasoned and shadier costars relished in her unsuccessful attempts to fit into the friend group. Despite her shortcomings, it is pretty epic that her Colorado glamping excursion ended with the cast lost in the wilderness and eating fast food from a roadside gas station. Definitely a first for the Housewives.Tommy Garcia/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank149. Eva Marcille, RHOAThe America's Next Top Model veteran picked up a peach for seasons 11 and 12, but never really made an impression in the world of RHOA, aside from being pregnant for what felt like her entire tenure. Points for that epic read of Marlo Hampton while in Tokyo, though.Bravo148. Katie Ginella, The Real Housewives of Orange CountyPer usual, we typically need to see more than one season to place a first-time Housewife higher on our list. But Katie came in swinging during RHOC's 18th season, immediately going up against veteran Housewife Heather Dubrow. It takes a brave woman to call B.S. on Ms. Fancypants.Clifton Prescod/Bravo147. Stephanie Shojaee, The Real Housewives of MiamiWe'll be honest: Stephanie is not our cup of tea. While her vast wealth had the makings of a great Housewife, the fact that she continuously used her private jet as leverage to hold power over her new costars during season seven left an icky raste in our mouth. Maybe Steph can redeem herself if she returns for season eight.Rich Polk/Bravo146. Sara Al Madani, The Real Housewives of DubaiSara's positive, enlightened outlook on life was certainly pleasant, but didn't provide for much drama (besides that one time she offered co-star Caroline Brooks some not-so-well received parenting advice). However, the tech entrepreneur shattered stereotypes of what it means to be a modern Muslim woman in the Middle East and for that we applaud her. Andrew Eccles/Bravo144-145. Rachel Fuda & Danielle Cabral, The Real Housewives of New JerseyRHONJ's season 13 newbies certainly fit the mold of your typical Garden State Housewife and quickly found themselves in a season-long fight over literally nothing that Andy Cohen deemed pointless at the reunion. The former friends unfortunately didn't bring much more substance during season 14.For the latest breaking news updates, click here to download the E! News App
