About this episode
Amanza Smith, from Selling Sunset. Steps Behind The Rope. First off, let us just address the infamous Z. Yes, Amanza was born Amanza with a Z Smith. Originally from Indiana, Amanza knew that small town life ultimately wasn’t for her. She moved to LA at a young age and, what else, became a model. Amanza discusses what the modeling industry was like back in the day. We also discuss her “career” as a suitcase girl on Deal or No Deal. She missed Meghan Markle by one season! Early on in her LA life, Amanza met Mary and Jason, introduced them, they dated, and the three have remained good friends ever since. Amanza and Mary even have matching tattoos - fun fact. Of course, we discuss Amanza’s design background and her job staging properties for The Oppenheim Group. Amanza added to that love of design, got her Real Estate License and ultimately started working as an agent at the Oppenheim Group, as seen on Season 2 of Selling Sunset. Welcome Amanza to Netflix and the wonderful world of Selling Sunset. Amanza entertains our endless questions about her other cast mates Heather, Davina, Maya, Christine, and Chrishell.
