How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

Although Dorit Kemsley can be hard to impress every now and then, it's safe to say that she was blown away by Bozoma (Boz) Saint John, the newest addition to the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 14.

In a preview for the RHOBH Season 14 premiere, Sutton Stracke can be seen introducing Boz, "a fabulous vision in white" to Dorit at a party. "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," Sutton explains in a confessional. "Boz is the real deal. People might pretend to be the boss but she's the boss."

After exchanging compliments, Dorit and Boz really hit it off during their meeting. "My first impression of Boz is 'wow. OK,'" Dorit explains in a confessional of her own. "This is a woman that understands the assignment."

"She's stunning," Dorit concluded.

Who is Bozoma Saint John?

Boz is "recently retired" after spending 25 years in corporate America. As she explains to Dorit and Sutton on the RHOBH Season 14 premiere, she served as the Global CMO of Netflix; the CMO of Endeavor; the CBO of Uber; the Head of Marketing at Apple Music and iTunes; and the Head of Music and Entertainment Marketing at Pepsi Co.

In addition to her impressive resumé, Boz is also a single mother to a 15-year-old daughter, Lael, after losing her husband, Peter Saint John, to a battle with cancer in December 2013. "I am thankful," Boz said of Peter during a May 2023 Talks at Google. "I'm thankful for the moments to talk about life...life becomes very clear when we know the end is coming."

Kathy Hilton and Kyle Richards tease Bozoma Saint John's debut

Dorit wasn't the only person to be impressed by Boz. RHOBH Season 14 friend, Kathy Hilton, told Access Hollywood in June that she was "very intrigued" by Boz when she met her.

"I'd never met Boz and she is something else," she explained. "I've watched her face, and you know, at times, she's looking at us like we're all crazy, you know? So I said, 'We're worried that you're not coming back' and so she was funny, she said, 'I went into the ladies room, and I was looking for a window to try to escape!'"

Kathy continued, noting that Boz was "intrigued" by the cast. "She's used to dealing with powerful men and women in business, so to see our cast members, it's a whole new world for her," she said. "We all really like her."

Kathy's younger sister and Season 14 cast member, Kyle Richards, also sang Boz's praises during a June 4 Amazon Live stream. "She's been great," she explained. "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."
