However, just before the new season aired she was accused of publishing “racist” tweets, including some containing the n-word. A TikTok video by the user stephwithdadeets, revealed screenshots of tweets allegedly posted by Amanda in 2012 and 2013, however, the video has since been deleted.

She allegedly tweeted: “Yummy lunch at Mundo in world market center! Great Mexican food… I think a lil higher of Mexicans after that meal… for now. HA.”

Other clips on TikTok claim that she had also retweeted comments that also contained the n-word. However, Amanda has now responded to the backlash, explaining her tweets as a “brief lapse in judgment” and expressing her “regret” over the posts. Amanda has, via a spokesperson, also insisted that she is not racist.

Bre brought her racist friend on the show to try to ruin me. Never met the Amanda girl a day in my life but her & Bre in her words wanted to ‘take me down’. I took the scene because it was already a storyline. It was all premeditated, I just handled it the best way I could.
