Bozoma “Boz” Saint John took aim at Amanda Frances during an interview on Thursday.
As she reacted to Amanda, 41, taking a call amid a 45-minute drive with her castmates on a recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, explained why Dorit Kemsley, 49, listens to her more than Kyle Richards, 57, and admitted to being offended by Sutton Stracke, 54, being stripped of her last name, Boz, 49, revealed which cast member she’d rather not see again and accused Amanda of “reaching for relevancy.”
“I think she’s reaching for relevancy, she wants to be established, and I think that’s what it’s giving,” Boz said of Amanda when asked to describe her with one word during a February 19 interview with Extra.
As for Amanda’s lengthy call amid a car ride with her co-stars, Boz said she would “of course” never take a call in the car.
“No, especially not business calls that last forever and ever. I mean, look, if there is an emergency, yes, of course you gotta take it … But you also have to say, ‘hey look, I’m not in the right place right now to have a 45 minute conversation,’” she noted.
Since joining the RHOBH cast in 2024 for season 14, Boz has grown close to Dorit. And as Dorit has grown further from Kyle, Kyle has accused her of listening more to Boz than to her.
In response, Boz explained, “I think part of it is that I’m actively listening. I’m not listening to rebuttal or listening for defense. I’m absorbing what she’s saying.”
Then, when asked if Kyle had an agenda, Boz denied it.
“I don’t think so. I think Kyle’s really trying to figure out her life and what’s happening. I think she’s been in this weird middle for a while, and I don’t think she wants to be there, and I don’t think anybody wants to be there, not for long anyway. So I think she’s just trying to figure out what’s happening in her life, and as a consequence, she’s just in everybody else’s life too,” she reasoned.
Moving on to Sutton’s former husband, Christian Stracke, having their marriage annulled, Boz expressed empathy for her castmate.
“I was shocked when her husband or her former husband got their marriage annulled in the Catholic Church, and the letter came to her addressed to Sutton Brown. I don’t know what I would do. I just feel like it’s so insulting, so stripping of your identity. She’s been Sutton Stracke for a long time,” she stated.
According to Boz, she felt bad for Sutton because it sent her back to when her former spouse, Peter Saint John, died of cancer.
“When my husband died, it [was] like, look, you could go back to your maiden name or keep the same name. [And] I kept my name because of Lael,” she explained. “I wanted to share the name with her, and so I can’t imagine being in Sutton’s shoes and then all of a sudden being stripped of your name.”
That, along with Sutton’s falling outs with Garcelle Beauvais, 59, and her former assistant, Avi Gabay, have had what Boz described as “a big impact on her.”
“I think losing longtime friendships, having, of course, Garcelle and Avi out of her life, and then having to navigate her friendships with the rest of us, having her name taken from her, I don’t know that anybody can face a situation like that and not have immediate change,” she stated. “So I think that’s what’s happening, and I like Sutton brown. Sutton brown is a good seed.”
As for the co-star she’d rather not see again, that nod went to Amanda.
“If I never had to see this version with Amanda, I’d be alright with that. She needs some growth,” Boz shared.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
