Welcome back to The Viall Files: Reality Recap!
Maybe you believe in manifesting, maybe you don’t, but we definitely manifested this one: Beverly Hills money queen Amanda Frances joins the show. We get into behind-the-scenes Housewives tea, what manifesting actually looks like in real life, and how she built her empire after surviving a cult. We’ve heard from a tempter, now it’s time for the temptresses. Carter and Jesenia from Temptation Island are here and ready to spill. Plus, and of course an update on West and Amanda. Oh yeah, this episode is jammed packed.
“I wasn’t trying to make a tv show, I was trying to be who I am.”
The Viall Files is going LIVE with the new cast of Temptation Island on May 4th! Tickets are on sale NOW! For more information, please visit netflixisajokefest.com.
