New Cast Member Bozoma Saint John Stirs Excitement in ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’
Dorit Kemsley, a prominent cast member of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ (RHOBH), expressed her admiration for the new addition to the series’ 14th season, Bozoma Saint John. This revelation was shared ahead of the show’s highly anticipated season premiere.
In a preview for the new season of RHOBH, Sutton Stracke introduced Saint John, referring to her as «a fabulous vision in white» during a party scene. Stracke explained in a confessional, «Boz and I have met in Beverly Hills, just in the circuit we go to a lot of the same parties, and we’ve had lunches. Boz is the real deal. People might pretend to be the boss but she’s the boss.»
Dorit echoed this sentiment, describing her first impression of Bozoma as «wow. OK.» She elaborated in her own confessional, noting, «This is a woman that understands the assignment.» Kemsley further added, «She’s stunning.»
Bozoma Saint John, a recently retired executive, brings a notable resume to the RHOBH cast. Her previous roles include serving as the Global Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of Netflix and CMO of Endeavor. She has also held significant positions at Uber, where she was Chief Brand Officer (CBO), and within Apple Music, iTunes, and Pepsi Co., overseeing music and entertainment marketing.
In addition to her professional achievements, Saint John is a single mother who lost her husband to cancer in December 2013. During a media appearance in May 2023, she reflected on that period of her life, saying, «I am thankful for the moments to talk about life… life becomes very clear when we know the end is coming.»
Saint John’s impact was not limited to Dorit. Kathy Hilton, a friend of the RHOBH cast, recounted her initial impression of Bozoma in June. Having never met Saint John before, Hilton remarked, «I’d never met Boz and she is something else.» Describing an amusing interaction, Hilton stated, «At times, she’s looking at us like we’re all crazy… She said, ‘I went into the ladies room and I was looking for a window to try to escape!'»
Kathy’s younger sister, another RHOBH cast member, also praised Saint John during a live stream in early June. «She’s been great,» she commented. «She’s great for the show and I think that you’re all gonna really like her a lot. She’s extra fabulous for sure.»
Viewers can look forward to seeing Bozoma Saint John and her interactions with the RHOBH cast when the show premieres on Tuesday, November 19, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Episodes will also be available for streaming the following day on Peacock.
