Rihanna declares second season of Amanda Francis.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star took to the thread on Friday to share a screenshot of him direct-messaging her on Instagram amid rumors that he may not return for season 16.
The message read, “No, no, no!!! Don’t quit!!! You will get redemption, I promise!!! We need you more!”
“Money Queen” Frances, who runs an online manifesto business, captioned the image: “Wait…if Rihanna says we have to do season 2, do I have to do season 2? Hmm…if the queen says?!”
In a follow-up post, she added, “And…does Rihanna know who I am?”
The Grammy winner’s words of encouragement come a day after Bravo & Cocktails shared a blind item that included an alleged cast renewal for next season.
The article said, “Kyle, Erica, Sutton, Boz and Rachel will be returning full-time.” “Amanda has been invited again, but she’ll probably decline.”
The memo added that former Housewife Crystal Kung Minkoff, who appeared on the show for three seasons from 2021 to 2024, is also “returning” and is in talks with showrunner Alex Baskin.
“Jennifer Tilly also returns, and we look forward to the addition of two strong newcomers in Lori Loughlin and Emma Greed.”
At the end of the email, it said, “Dorit (Kemsley) is no longer active.”
However, Baskin justified the rumor by reposting the blind item on her Instagram Stories and writing, “Not true.”
Francis had a rocky rookie season last year, as he was questioned about his business by multiple cast members, defended his former membership in a cult, and clashed with Kemsley multiple times.
Francis told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she felt the show was “kind of an introductory process” for the swimsuit designer since she was new to the group.
“She didn’t want me to grow up comfortably as part of the group, at least that’s how it feels to me,” Frances explained of Kemsley, revealing that she never received an apology.
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time Rihanna has slipped into the “Real Housewives” star’s DMs.
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City stars Whitney Rose, Heather Gay and Bronwyn Newport have all admitted to receiving direct messages from Rihanna.
The pop star also sent messages to “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Karen Huger, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kelly Ferrell and “The Real Housewives of New York” alumnus Leah McSweeney.
Newport told “Virtual Reali-Tea” hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy that the two had been exchanging messages and spoke passionately about the moment.
“She’s very sweet to me,” the reality star elaborated. “She has an opinion about ‘Salt Lake City.’ She has an opinion about me.”
