Annemarie Wiley, a newcomer to "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," has been let go from the popular reality show after less than one season. Wiley took to Instagram on Thursday to express her disappointment, stating that she had been informed she would not be returning.
According to Wiley, she never auditioned for the show and was asked to join "out of the blue" six weeks after filming had already begun. Despite her excitement about the opportunity, the reality star admitted that she made a rookie mistake by following instructions given to her during filming.
Wiley, a nurse anesthesiologist, voiced her disappointment that viewers did not get to see the real her or get a glimpse into her unique life story. As a proud black woman in a solid black family unit, Wiley had hoped to showcase "true black love" and challenge stereotypes in Beverly Hills.
The reality star also revealed that she experienced personal struggles during filming, including the loss of her mother who passed away within weeks of taping. Additionally, she mentioned dealing with "adoption trauma" and searching for her biological parents, all of which were captured on camera but never shown.
Wiley expressed gratitude to her fans who saw the real her and wished the rest of the cast good luck for the next season. She also thanked Bravo for the opportunity and shared her excitement for new ventures that align with her values of positivity, truth, and authenticity.
Introduced as Kyle Richards' friend halfway through Season 13, Wiley clashed with some cast members but started building relationships with others. Fans expressed disappointment in the decision to let her go, with many commenting on her unfair treatment. Bravo executive producer and personality, Andy Cohen, added his support with a heart emoji.
While some fans questioned the decision, others praised Wiley for bringing a relatable career as a nurse to the show. Many expressed admiration for her role as a mother, wife, advocate, and friend.
As Wiley's journey on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" comes to an end, she remains optimistic about future opportunities and her ability to inspire others.
