In Episode 10, “The Cults Out of the Bag,” the drama escalated as Bozoma Saint John and Sutton Stracke dissected Amanda’s approach to wealth and success during a candid park chat.

Boz praised the “new Sutton” for her logic and listening skills before turning critical: “What she’s doing is mostly telling people how to manifest money by taking their money.”

The pair agreed that Amanda frequently brags about her financial independence, seemingly to prove she belongs among the group. This perception paints her as superior, especially toward those like Dorit Kemsley, whose past financial dependencies have been scrutinized.

The skepticism ties back to Amanda’s manifestation dinner party fallout. After hosting a journaling exercise that reportedly manifested “bad energy,” Amanda debriefed with fiancé Eddie Tsivislavsky.

Eddie suggested some cast members might feel intimidated by her youth and success, joking that she’s “not financially dependent on a man.” Amanda went further, implying Dorit’s challenges stemmed from outsourcing her financial well-being to a partner that “didn’t go well.”

This newbie-versus-veterans clash highlights a broader question in the self-help and manifestation space: authenticity versus opportunism.

Amanda’s empire, built on digital courses, books like Rich as Fck*, and mindset trainings, promises financial empowerment for women. Yet critics on the show see it as exploitative—charging for “manifesting” what they view as basic advice or mindset shifts.

Adding layers is Amanda’s vulnerable reveal to Erika Jayne about escaping a controlling church group she describes as fitting “every single criteria for a cult.”

From high school curiosity in the Bible Belt to isolation in Florida—where the leader dictated relationships, friendships, and finances—Amanda escaped dramatically on Halloween 2008, driving away to reclaim her life, pursue degrees, and build independence.

Ironically, this backstory of breaking free from manipulation fuels accusations that her business mirrors similar dynamics: promising empowerment while profiting from vulnerability. As the cast drags her “manifestation empire,” with whispers of bragging and one-upmanship, Amanda’s integration into Beverly Hills remains rocky.

Will this skepticism fracture alliances further, or can the “Money Queen” manifest acceptance? In RHOBH, authenticity is currency—and right now, Amanda’s is being heavily audited. (Word count: 412)
