Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly are showing support for Amanda Frances after her short-lived run on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills came to an end.
Amanda, who joined RHOBH for Season 15, confirmed on Instagram that her “time” on the show is “complete” after reports surfaced that producers did not ask her back for Season 16.
Following Amanda’s announcement, Kathy Hilton commented with a supportive message.
“The best of luck to you!!!” Kathy wrote. “I’m excited to read your new book. i hope your having a great summer and enjoying your beautiful family.🙏🏼🥰😍💕”
Jennifer Tilly also reacted to Amanda’s departure and praised her as she moves on from the Bravo series.
“Amanda, Good luck on your journey going forward,” Jennifer wrote. “I can’t wait to read your new book! You are so funny and sweet and smart. We will miss you. ❤️”
The comments come after TMZ reported that Amanda was not asked to return to RHOBH for another season. Sources close to the show claimed producers decided not to bring the Season 15 newbie back for Season 16.
Amanda’s exit follows a rocky rookie season, where she clashed with Dorit Kemsley and found herself at the center of criticism from Bozoma Saint John, who accused her of building a “cult” through her business.
The decision may have come as a surprise to Amanda, who recently said she believed there was a “good chance” Bravo would invite her back, though she also admitted she was not sure she would accept the offer if it came.
Amanda addressed her exit in a lengthy Instagram statement, writing, “My time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is complete.”
She reflected on the experience as one of the boldest choices she has made.
“Saying yes to this show was one of the boldest, wildest, most clarifying things I’ve ever done,” Amanda wrote. “And I am genuinely grateful—”
Amanda then thanked the viewers who connected with her during her time on the show.
“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.”
She joked that her time on RHOBH felt like a higher calling.
“It was a ministry, honestly.”
However, Amanda made it clear that she already had a full life before joining the show and is now focusing on that.
“But I came into this experience with an already-full life,” she wrote. “And right now, that life is asking for all of me.”
Amanda shared that she is releasing her book, Holy F*ck, on August 18.
“On August 18, I am releasing Holy F*ck—a teaching memoir about God, desire, money, personal power, freedom, and becoming the woman you came here to be.”
She also noted that she is preparing for a major personal milestone.
“I am marrying the love of my life this fall,” Amanda wrote. “I am mama-ing my babies. 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.”
Amanda said that while Housewives gave her a platform, it also reminded her of the foundation she already had.
“And while this show gave me an incredible platform—” she wrote. “A platform is not the same thing as a foundation.”
She continued, “And of the greatest gifts of the experience was seeing just how strong my foundation actually is.”
Amanda also reflected on what she learned from being part of the Beverly Hills cast.
“Listen: Every room has something to teach you,” she wrote. “Some rooms expand you. Some challenge you. Some misunderstand you. Some show you parts of yourself you couldn’t have seen anywhere else.”
She added, “And some remind you who you already are.”
Amanda thanked Beverly Hills before signing off from her one-season run.
“Beverly Hills, thank you,” she wrote. “I am taking the clarity, the lessons, the plot twists, the spiritual warfare, and the occasional deeply unnecessary dinner party drama into all that God has for me next.”
She ended her message with advice for anyone watching her next chapter.
“And to anyone watching, please know: Your next move does not require anyone’s approval. Your evolution does not need a permission slip. And you can be grateful for an opportunity and know when it’s time to leave.”
Amanda closed with one final line.
“And obviously… Say it with me: I win in the end. 🤍”
