The husband of fired Bravoleb Annemarie Wiley is slamming RHOBH producers for filming their home life but not using any footage.
Marcellus Wiley is fired up. The former NFL star says he was followed by the cameras way too much while filming for season 13 of RHOBH, and they never used any of the footage on the show.
“I love the franchise. I love the empire they’ve created. I knew it was going to be drama-filled when I got into it,” Annemarie Wiley’s husband told Outkick‘s Dan Dakich on Don’t @ Me. “That doesn’t bother me. What I didn’t like was them wasting my damn time filming 50 million hours in the backyard with me and my kids. We go to play places. I’m coaching. All this stuff.”
“They showed ZERO of it,” the former ESPN and Fox Sports commentator added. “They focused on my wife and esophagus stuff. I didn’t watch one full episode because I was like, ah, that’s what they’re going to do?”
“Just don’t waste my time. Dammit, they lied to me in terms of why they wanted to use me and be involved, and then they produced it in an entirely different way.”
Even though Marcellus feels RHOBH wasted his time, he doesn’t hold a grudge against the show.
“The experience? That was the easiest, sanest thing I’ve ever [done] in my life. I wanted to do more, but I understand why we can’t do more.”
In March, Annemarie announced that she was not asked back for season 14 of RHOBH.
On 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.”
RHOBH is expected to return to Bravo in late 2024 or early 2025.
