Rachel Zoe joined “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after being absent from reality television for over a decade. Now, ahead of the highly anticipated “RHOBH” season 15 reunion, she’s confronting fellow newbie Amanda Frances over claims she made about everyone knowing her during the season. This comes after Frances recently revealed she secretly tied the knot in 2025.
In the recently released “RHOBH” preview, Andy Cohen asked Zoe about why she stated that Frances “acts strong but plays the victim at the same time.” In response, the famed designer said, “I think the conflict that I’ve had is what you just said about how you want to teach women and how you want to walk into every room and everyone knows who you are.”
After that, Frances claimed she had never said that everyone in the rooms she entered knew who she was. However, as the cast says she said it, a clip is shown of her more clearly explaining herself. Frances stated in the flashback, “I’m in a world where everyone gets me, and everyone loves it, and all my friends take my courses, and everyone has this foundation of like what Amanda is about.”
She later said in the flashback, “There hasn’t been a world in a long time where people didn’t know who I was and what I built and why.”
Amanda Frances Stood Up For Her Stance
As the “RHOBH” reunion clip continued, Frances attempted to defend herself in the conversation with Zoe. Stated that she meant people “know my heart. They know my intention.” From there, Erika Jayne chimed in, seemingly confirming that she didn’t add the part about people knowing her heart.
After some discussion, Frances stated that if Zoe “knew who I was and what I do, you’d know that that is not what I meant,” leading the Bravo legend to say, “But I don’t.”
At the end of the clip, Jayne said to Frances, “We’re trying to know you. You’ve rubbed everybody the wrong way. It’s hard to do that in this group.”
Fans Are On Amanda Frances’ Side
Zoe, although new to “RHOBH,” has quickly become a fan-favorite. In fact, many viewers claim she’s the best part of what is otherwise a dull season. However, the internet is mostly on Frances’ side regarding the new reunion clip, with many acknowledging that the flashback proves she was right.
One person said on TikTok, “Video replay says they’re all wrong and jelly.” Someone else wrote, “It’s crazy how much they hate on Amanda.” A different social media user stated, “Damn that flashback literally proved Amanda right.”
Another “RHOBH” watcher chimed in, writing, “I feel like she was pretty clear and they misunderstood her on purpose.”
Lastly, a different Bravo fan said, “I couldn’t stand Amanda at first, but then flipped when the hate on her was so boring and forced.”
Amanda Frances Recently Became Emotional Discussing Rachel Zoe
Frances appeared on an episode of “Reality with the King” in March 2026 to promote “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” While on the show, the topic of Zoe came up, with Frances stating that she learned from watching the show that she didn’t like her.
Frances told Carlos King, “Rachel was nice to my face 100 percent of the time. Until the reunion. She never said one negative thing, one skeptical thing, one cynical thing, one questioning thing, until the reunion. She was 100 percent nice to my face 100 percent of the time.”
Regarding learning otherwise, Frances recalled, “I found out she didn’t like me from watching the show. To find out someone who the whole world looks up to, you know, is looking for the worst in you.”
Amanda Frances Is Married
When Frances debuted on “RHOBH,” she introduced the world to her fiancé, Eddie Tsivislavsky. Over the course of the show, she spoke openly about planning her wedding and sparing no expense. However, according to PEOPLE, she confirmed on Instagram in April 2026 that they had tied the knot in a courthouse wedding on September 9, 2025.
The Bravo star also confirmed a traditional ceremony will take place later this year, in October. She said in the post, “The word is out. This past September, the love of my life and I were married in a private civil ceremony in Laguna Hills, CA.”
