Annemarie Wiley has been fired from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after less than one season.
“I just got word today that I will not be returning to ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ To say that I’m disappointed is an understatement,” the reality star wrote via Instagram Thursday.
Wiley, 40, emphasized that she “never auditioned” to be on the hit Bravo show, and claimed she was asked to star on it “out of the blue” – and six weeks “after the cast had already started filming.”

Wiley explained that as a “proud black woman” married to a “wonderful strong black man” with “four wonderful children,” she wishes that could’ve been featured more on “RHOBH.”
“It was an important mission of mine for the next season to show a solid black family unit and that ‘true black love’ exists, even in Beverly Hills,” she wrote.
She also informed fans she has struggled with the loss of her mother –– who died “within weeks of taping” –– as well as “adoption trauma” and beginning to search for her biological parents.
“All of which was taped, but never shown last season … among other things,” she vaguely wrote.
Wiley concluded by thanking fans who “saw the REAL me” and wished the rest of the cast “good luck on the next season.” She also thanked Bravo “for the opportunity.”
“As an athlete, challenges only make you stronger and more determined to prosper! I’m excited for the new opportunities ahead that celebrate positivity, truth, authenticity, and the values I truly align with,” she wrote before signing off with her name and a heart emoji.
Wiley was introduced as Kyle Richards’ friend halfway through Season 13, which just finished airing on Bravo. She butted heads with Stracke and Crystal Kung Minkoff but started developing relationships with the rest of the women.
Several fans flocked to the comments section to express their disappointment in the decision.
