Another one season wonder bites the dust! RHOBH’s Annemarie Wiley announces that she was not asked back for season 14.
On Thursday, Annemarie Wiley revealed that she will not be returning to RHOBH for season 14.
Via Instagram, the RHOBH newbie shared:
“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.
I never auditioned for this show. The show found me and asked me to be on it out of the blue 6 weeks after the cast had already started filming. I was thrown into filming 2 weeks later, mid-season. I was very excited about the opportunity, and I thought following exactly what I was instructed to do throughout filming last season was the way the “game was played.” Listening to what I was instructed to do was my rookie mistake. What I am disappointed about is that the fans never got to see the real me or even a glimpse of my unique life story… Contrary to what was shown on TV, I am not obsessed with the esophagus! LOL
What I am is a woman, a proud black woman, who is truly blessed with a wonderful strong black man as my husband who lifts me and our four wonderful children up with so much love and positivity on a daily. 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… my struggle with losing my mother to lung cancer within weeks of taping, and my struggle with adoption trauma and what was going to be, and still will be, a new life journey for me to find my biological parents.
All of which was taped, but never shown last season…among other things.”
The 40-year-old CRNA then sent a special thanks to RHOBH fans who saw the “real” Annemarie throughout season 13 of RHOBH instead of what producers attempted to “portray.”
Annemarie wrote:
“To the fans that saw past what was portrayed and saw the REAL me, thank you so much for the love and support. I wish all the ladies good luck on the next season and thank you 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. Until we meet again! Thank you!”
Annemarie Wiley joined the RHOBH cast during season 13. While she was an official cast member she wasn’t introduced on the show until mid-way through the season. Also her personal life was not detailed on the show at all, which is odd for a full-time cast member.
It’s unclear if Bravo chose dial back Annemarie’s role on RHOBH throughout season 13 due to the rape allegations that came out against her husband, Marcellus Wiley, at the start of the season.
In November, the former NFL defensive end was accused of raping a Columbia University student during his time at the school 29 years ago.
The female victim, now a professor and sociologist, filed a lawsuit in the New York Supreme Court. She accuses Marcellus Wiley of attacking her in the fall of 1994. At the time, Marcellus was a sophomore and the star running back for Columbia University’s football team.
Neither Annemarie nor Marcellus ever publicly addressed the allegation.
When it comes to season 14 of RHOBH, production reportedly begins in April.
It’s unknown if any RHOBH cast members have been offered a contract for season 14 yet. However, Kathy Hilton is rumored to be returning as a friend following her surprise appearance at the RHOBH season 13 reunion.
Season 13 of RHOBH starred Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, Crystal Minkoff, and Annemarie Wiley.
Many fans have been vocal about their desire for a casting shakeup on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Oddly enough many fans want Crystal Minkoff back after her shady side finally emerged throughout season 13 and at the reunion.
Fans have also grown tired of Dorit Kemsley and Erika Jayne’s stale storylines and their inability to bring the drama.
Speaking of casting shakeups, Kyle Richards admits that her decision to return for season 14 will most likely be a last-minute choice.
Only time will tell if Bravo changes or shakes up the RHOBH cast for season 14, but stay glued to AllAboutTRH for all the latest news.
RHOBH is expected to return to Bravo in late 2024 or early 2025.
