We’re just days away from meeting the newest cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Amanda Frances. The money expert and owner of Kyle Richards’ old house joins the Season 15 cast as a full-time diamond holder. But according to Kathy Hilton, she was a little bit of an acquired taste. We’re not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing for all of us watching from home.
Kathy Hilton “really likes” Amanda Frances on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
At BravoCon 2025, Kathy spoke to Entertainment Tonight about all things Season 15. Amanda is one of the new faces coming to the cast, alongside Rachel Zoe and Natalie Swanston Fuller. When the interviewer asked Kathy about the newbies, she initially gave them all a glowing review.
“Well, Rachel and I go way back, and she’s like part of our family,” Kathy said. “Love her, and the other two girls, I really, really, really like.”
“I don’t think you’ve met Natalie, but you will love her. And Amanda is lovely as well,” Kathy gushed.
That’s so sweet! However, as the interviewer pointed out, Erika Jayne shared a much different first impression of Amanda. You can see her in the RHOBH Season 15 trailer declaring that “something’s off” with the newbie. We obviously know that Erika isn’t the best judge of character, but that little bit of prodding from the interviewer forced Kathy to give a more honest take on Amanda.
“Well, Amanda honestly was a little annoying in the beginning,” Kathy confessed. “But then you know, I just, I really like her.”
With that in mind, it sounds like we might see Amanda get off to a rocky start in Season 15. She’s in Kathy’s good graces now, but tune in to see where she lands with the rest of the women.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returns to Bravo on Tuesday, December 4 at 8/7c. You can stream it the following day on Peacock.
