Amanda Frances is leaving “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after a single, turbulent season. The entrepreneur and self-help author confirmed her exit Wednesday in an Instagram post, ending speculation that had built for weeks over whether Bravo would bring her back for Season 16.
“My time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is complete,” Frances wrote, calling her decision to join the cast one of the boldest moves she has made. She thanked the women, the crew and viewers who followed her season, saying the show gave her a platform but that her foundation, built over more than a decade in business, remained the source of her strength. She closed the post with a line she has used before on social media: “I win in the end.”
Frances joined the Beverly Hills cast for Season 15 as a self-made entrepreneur known for coaching women on building wealth, work that grew out of her bestselling book “Rich as F*ck.” Her rookie year proved rocky. Co-star Bozoma Saint John publicly questioned whether Frances ran her coaching business like a cult, and tension surfaced repeatedly with Dorit Kemsley over how Frances made her money. Frances later said Kyle Richards offered her private guidance early on, telling her that cast members inevitably speak critically of one another as part of the job.
Sources familiar with the show’s production told TMZ that producers simply did not ask Frances back for Season 16, a detail that reportedly caught her by surprise. Frances herself had told “Extra” that filming and promoting the series consumed nearly a full year and took up considerable mental space alongside running her company.
Her exit comes at a busy personal moment. Frances is releasing a memoir titled “Holy F*ck” on August 18, and she says she is preparing to marry her fiancé, Eddie Tsivislavsky, this fall while raising four children. The couple lost a son, Zion, five days after his birth in 2022.
Bravo has not announced the full Season 16 cast. Frances becomes the second known departure from the current lineup as the network reshapes the roster ahead of production.
