Rihanna begs ‘RHOBH’ star not to quit series
Rihanna is manifesting a second season for Amanda Frances.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star took to Threads on Friday to share a screenshot of the singer direct messaging her on Instagram amid rumors that she may not be returning for Season 16.
The message read, “No, no, NOPE!!! No quitting!!!! You’re gonna have your redemption I promise you!!! We need more of you!”
Frances — aka the “Money Queen” who runs an online manifestation business — captioned the image, “Wait… if Rihanna says I have to do a second season, then do i have to do a second season? Ummm… if The Queen says?!”
In a follow-up post, she added, “Also… Rihanna knows who I am?”
The Grammy winner’s encouraging words come one day after Bravo & Cocktails shared a blind item with an alleged casting update for next season.
“Kyle, Erika, Sutton, Boz and Rachel will be back full time,” the item read. “Amanda was invited back but most likely will decline.”
The note added that former housewife Crystal Kung Minkoff — who appeared on the show for three seasons from 2021 to 2024 — is also “back in the mix” and she was in talks with showrunner Alex Baskin.
“Jennifer Tilly will also be back and expect 2 strong newbies: Lori Loughlin and Emma Grede are in the mix.”
The email ended, claiming, “Dorit [Kemsley] is being put on pause.”
However, Baskin weighed in on the rumors by reposting the blind item to his Instagram Stories and writing, “Not true.”
Frances had a rocky rookie season this past year — including having her business be questioned by multiple cast members, defending once being part of a cult and clashing with Kemsley on numerous occasions.
Frances told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she felt the drama was the swimwear designer was an “initiation process of sorts” because she was new in the group.
“She didn’t want me to have an easy time growing into the group, at least that’s how it feels to me,” Frances explained about Kemsley, revealing she never received an apology.
Meanwhile, this isn’t Rihanna’s first time sliding into the DMs of “Real Housewives” stars.
“Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” stars Whitney Rose, Heather Gay and Bronwyn Newport have all confirmed they’ve received direct messages from Rihanna.
The pop star has also sent messages to “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Karen Huger, “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kelli Ferrell and “Real Housewives of New York” alum Leah McSweeney.
Newport gushed about the moment, telling “Virtual Reali-Tea” hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy that the two messaged back and forth.
“She’s very sweet to me,” the reality star detailed. “She has opinions on ‘Salt Lake City.’ She has opinions on me.”
