Amanda Frances confirmed that she and Dorit Kemsley were unable to turn a corner after their dinner spat at Rachel Zoe’s house on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, despite her efforts to reconcile.
While the 41-year-old newbie reflected on their interaction at their castmate’s home, which took place on the third anniversary of the death of one of her twin sons, Amanda described Dorit’s antics as “very aggressive” as she admitted to trying to make amends and suggested that Dorit, 49, was only interested in using her to make a spectacle on the show.
“We don’t recover,” Amanda told Us Weekly on January 22. “And the thing is, we could have.”
On Thursday night’s RHOBH, Dorit confronted Amanda about what she had said in regard to how she’d been speaking about Paul “PK” Kemsley, 58, and their divorce. In turn, Amanda revealed that she was “holding on by a thread” since it was the anniversary of the death of her son, Zion, who died at just five days old in 2022, while his brother, Canaan, survived.
Despite the reveal, the discussion about their drama continued, which Amanda felt was a missed opportunity for her and Dorit.
“For me, an apology and hearing about what was going on for her and where she was in her divorce situation, and me explaining what it was to have twins and lose a child … it could have been a get to know each other moment,” Amanda ntoed. “It could have been bonding. We could have repaired. We could have recovered.”
Although Amanda tried to build a friendship with Dorit in the weeks that followed, she was unsuccessful in her efforts.
“Viewers will see me in future episodes, try very hard to just sit down with her and work it out,” she shared. “The woman was very committed and devoted to only talking to me if it could be a loud dinner table spectacle kind of thing.”
After sharing on RHOBH that Dorit had approached her in an “accusatory” manner and had a “very attacking style of energy,” Amanda doubled down.
“It felt very aggressive to me in that moment, and it felt out of nowhere. Is the average person going to consider that a verbal accosting or whatever? I don’t know, maybe not,” Amanda admitted to Us Weekly. “But I don’t know that anyone gets to tell me how to feel or experience things on that day.”
“I think the minute I told her what the day was, it should have been, ‘I’m so sorry I had no idea.’ Her thing is going to be that she didn’t know, and my thing is going to be that I told her,” she continued, adding that she should have only had to mention her late son “once.”
“It should have been, like, let’s talk about something else,” she said.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
