Amanda Frances clapped back at Boz Saint John’s claim that her life isn’t “pure,” and revealed how she stayed “emotionally regulated” when costars were criticizing her on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She also addressed being “freaked the f**k out.”
In the most recent season, Boz accused Amanda – who wrote a best-selling book and teaches courses about financial empowerment – of building a cult. Many castmates questioned Amanda’s business repeatedly in awkward dinner scenes as well as the reunion.
In an Instagram video, Amanda clapped back at Boz’s claim that her life isn’t “pure.”
“I got to be honest with you: I don’t know how the f**k my life isn’t pure,” said Amanda. “I am who I say I am. I do what I say I’m going to do. I’m accountable to my team, to my clients, to my family. I show up with integrity. I am a good person. I’m proud of who I am in the world. I’ve dedicated my whole life, my whole career, my whole education to trying to do something that matters, that affects people positively.”
“I actually think my life is very pure,” she went on. “It doesn’t mean I’m not flawed, but there’s nothing to hide. I’m in a relationship that makes me really happy. I’m proud of how I’m raising my children. I’m proud of the work my company does. I don’t know how anyone figures this isn’t pure.”
In the caption, Amanda said we’ve been “conditioned to believe that life is supposed to be miserable.”
“[And] when someone is living well, without apology, we assume they must be hiding something,” she said. “… [Some] people question you, doubt you, and misunderstand you along the way.”
In another post, Amanda shared her secret to staying “emotionally regulated” during the tense dinner scenes on RHOBH.
“People ask me all the time how I stayed emotionally regulated at those dinner tables … and it goes something like this: You can’t hurt me. I’m okay inside of me, so nothing you say about me or to me is a real threat to me,” she said. “It’s not a determiner of who I’m gonna be or what I’m gonna do. Your words aren’t truth for me beyond what I believe is truth for me, what I believe God believes about me.”
“I consider the source, and I have everyone in their place,” she continued. “And then from there, I ground into me, like, I am safe deep within me, and no one can take that away from me. So when you do all of that, you can observe what people are saying and see what you wanna speak to and see what might be worth your effort and energy.”
According to Amanda, as she got more familiar with RHOBH, she got better at responding to “whatever was thrown at me without giving it much weight.”
“And then I went from emotionally regulated but kind of freaked the f**k out … to emotionally regulated and almost having fun playing ping pong [with castmates],” she said. “By the reunion, I was having fun.”
