Everything You Need To Know About RHOBH’s Newest Housewives For Season 15

by

Season 15 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is here, and it features an even bigger group of Housewives! The new season feels like a fresh start, as everyone adjusts after the drama of last season. There are some new cast members this year, and a lot has happened since we last saw them.

Season 15 introduces new cast members Rachel Zoe and Amanda Frances. They join the show after Garcelle Beauvais’s departure following five seasons, which ended with disagreements and tension with several other cast members, notably Sutton Stracke.

Honestly, I was worried when Garcelle left, but the show hasn’t missed a step! And I’ve got to say, bringing Zoe and Frances onto the cast has really balanced things out. Season 15 of RHOBH feels much more complete with them around.

Who Is Amanda Frances?

Amanda Frances is one of the newest cast members on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She was introduced as a friend of Kyle Richards, but as a newcomer, their connection isn’t as established as some of the other relationships among the Housewives.

Richards and Frances first connected when Frances purchased Richards’ house in Bel-Air in 2023. They didn’t know each other well beforehand, but became close while filming the show together.

Surprisingly, after purchasing Kyle Richards’ home for approximately $6.1 million (according to Reality Blurb), she faced online criticism for updating the house, which had been a familiar location on the show for years. Richards stepped in to support her, and their bond grew stronger.

Frances has quickly become a popular addition to the series. She’s shared her incredible story of escaping a cult as a child, and has since become a successful author and businesswoman. She built a million-dollar company before turning thirty and is now widely known online as the “Money Queen.”

A mother of two became known as the “Money Queen” by teaching others how to achieve financial freedom. She built a successful career selling courses on personal finance and authored the popular book, Rich as Fck*, focusing on improving people’s relationship with money.

In her personal life, Frances is engaged to Eddie Tsivislavsky, and together they have two children. She also plays an active role in raising Eddie’s two children from a previous relationship.

Though only 40 years old, she’s among the youngest of the wives and brings significant financial resources and industry connections to the group.

Who Is Rachel Zoe?

Rachel Zoe is well-known to fans of reality TV and Bravo. Before joining the current show, she starred in her own series, The Rachel Zoe Report, on Bravo from 2008 to 2013. The show followed her life as a celebrity stylist and designer, giving viewers a look at her fast-paced career.

Zoe became part of the group because she’s friends with Kathy Hilton. She shared that she originally met Kathy’s children, and then she and Kathy quickly became friends themselves.

The stylist has worked with Kathy and Kyle before, but is meeting the rest of the group for the first time, which could bring some exciting new energy to the mix.

Beyond her successful career, Zoe is navigating a divorce after 26 years of marriage to Rodger Berman. She shared on the show that things shifted in their relationship after having children, as they began to have differing perspectives and goals.

Currently on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, she’s openly sharing details about her divorce with the cast. Balancing a demanding career, a very public divorce, and motherhood to two children, Zoe seems perfectly suited for the show.

It remains to be seen if she can handle the scrutiny of a public divorce and reality television.

RHOBH Season 15 Is Already Better Than The Previous Season

Since Lisa Rinna’s departure around season 12, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills hasn’t been as captivating. The storylines have felt less substantial and exciting compared to past seasons.

Erika Girardi’s legal troubles and possible divorce from Tom Girardi have been a long and public saga, but it doesn’t provide enough substance for an entire television series on its own.

Soon after Erika Jayne faced legal issues, news broke that Kyle Richards and her husband of more than 20 years, Mauricio Umansky, were splitting up. Adding to the difficult times, Dorit Kemsley also announced her separation from her husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley.

The show became noticeably more somber due to all the drama and legal issues happening behind the scenes. The actors seemed less energetic, and it was difficult to recapture the lighthearted atmosphere of earlier seasons.

After fifteen seasons, the show has reached a positive turning point. Most of the characters are doing better – old hurts are fading, and the cast members are able to find humor again.

Bringing on two new cast members has injected fresh energy into the show. Rachel Zoe’s fame was a fun addition, and it’s been fascinating to get to know Amanda Frances, particularly learning about her success as a self-made millionaire.

Even though the season just started, it already feels like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is heading in a good direction again.
