Overview
- Amanda Frances said her 2016 DUI was dismissed and later expunged, reiterating the incident is nearly a decade old.
- She described trying to move her car to avoid a closing gate, being blocked in, calling an Uber, and being arrested after admitting the attempt when a bystander alerted an officer.
- A previously published mugshot recirculated online last month, drawing fresh attention to the old case during her first RHOBH season.
- Frances emphasized that her 2015 blog post about leaving a controlling church she considers a cult has been public for years and was not a revelation to her audience.
- She criticized Dorit Kemsley’s on‑camera handling of both the blog reference and a sensitive anniversary, saying she was surprised by the lack of care and that tensions persist on the show.
