RHOBH newcomer Amanda Frances is pushing back after rumors spread that her first season was already cut short.
After a headline circulated claiming she “left early” and stopped filming mid-season following an escalating feud with Dorit Kemsley, Amanda took to Instagram to shut it down directly.
“lol this is not true,” she wrote on her Stories.
“I have my final interview, WWHL, and the reunion all on my calendar.”
So despite the chatter, Amanda is confirming she’s finishing the season — and will be front and center at the reunion.
The rumor picked up traction quickly online, in part because a surprising number of fans didn’t seem upset by the idea of her exit. Amanda’s debut season hasn’t exactly been embraced warmly by viewers, and her ongoing tension with Dorit has been one of her only major storylines so far. For some fans, the feud feels more forced than organic, and many have questioned whether she’s found her footing with the group.
That reaction only fueled speculation that production may have pulled back on her role. Amanda’s denial suggests otherwise — and signals she intends to ride out the season fully, whether viewers are sold on her yet or not.
New Housewives often take a season (or two) to settle in, and early backlash isn’t unusual. Still, the strong reaction to even the rumor of her leaving highlights how polarizing her first run has been.
One thing is clear: Amanda isn’t going quietly, and she’s planning to show up at the reunion ready to defend her spot.
