Bozoma Saint John revealed she has no intention of leaving “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after just one season.
In a March 2025 interview on Bravo’s “Hot Mic” podcast, the marketing CMO told host Alex Baskin she was very intentional when she accepted the role on the Bravo reality show last year. And she has no intention of being a one-season wonder like some past cast members.
“I don’t do anything just for one season. You know?” Saint John said on the podcast. “I feel like my life and my experiences are building blocks on each other. And as long as I feel like this is a mutually beneficial relationship, then we’re good.”
Bozoma Saint John Takes Her Role on the Show Seriously
For season 14, Saint John was a main cast member on RHOBH alongside returning stars Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Garcelle Beauvais, and Sutton Stracke.
While her background is as a marketing executive, she told Baskin she took the reality TV offer “seriously.”
“You know, this is not accidental to me,” she said. “This is not me just being like, I guess so. I have nothing better. Let me just sign up and do this. No, it’s like there is a part of me that’s like – oh, well, let’s try it. Let’s see what happens. But there is for sure a majority of my brain which says, why am I going to do this? What am I going to get from it? What am I going to contribute? And then like, is it worth my time?”
Saint John, who has worked for Uber, Netflix, PepsiCo, and more, noted that she is not “flighty” despite the many movements in her career. “Sometimes people think that like, ‘Oh, well, you know, she’s going to do what she does, get her thing, and then she’s going to be out,'” he admitted. “And I’m like, no, that’s actually not it. If you would actually sit with me and talk to me about the decisions I make, you’ll see that everything was very logical and very strategic. And so, for me, this experience is that too. That like, no, I don’t want to come in and be like one and done or feel like, oh my gosh I didn’t really get a great experience.”
Saint John has been vocal this season, and has not held back from questioning—and sometimes grilling—the veteran cast members. “It’s like, why am I there if not to contribute?” she explained. “You know, it’s like, look, I have said this many a time, which is that like there is absolutely no job, no space I’ve ever been in where you didn’t know I was there. I promise you, like, you will feel my presence, my footprints, my fingerprints once I’m in a space. And that’s what I want for this too.”
Bozoma Saint John Explained Why She Joined RHOBH
Phylicia J. L. Munn/BravoSaint John previously explained what prompted her to join RHOBH, despite only knowing Stracke casually from their circles.
In January 2025, she told “The Breakfast Club” that she decided to jump into the “craziness” of reality TV after noticing there was “no representation” for women like herself. “Like, the corporate girlies who are ambitious, who are smart, who are loyal and will defend their friends and all of that, they don’t exist in this space,” she explained of the reality TV genre. “No disrespect to anybody else but they just don’t. And so, I’m like, well I’ve already represented in so many different spaces. Like why not do it here and also work on a bigger platform?”
She also admitted her first season on the show would mark a “shift” of sorts for the rest of the cast as they tried to get to know her. “If I come back for second season, I think that would be a different situation,” she shared.
Saint John also admitted that her “work” on RHONH is a piece of cake compared to what she’s used to. “This scenario — the interactions with the women, all those things — is light work. It really is,” she told People magazine in an interview. “Because the battle in the boardroom is much, much worse than this.”
