Popular Instagram account Drunk Drawn is being accused of “racism” and “cyber bullying” by RHOBH star Annemarie Wiley.
Following last Wednesday’s episode of RHOBH, Annemarie Wiley took to Instagram to call out a popular account followed by many Bravolebs for their depiction of her in one of their infamous caricature drawings.
Drunk Drawn is known for posting caricature drawings of Real Housewives and other reality TV stars in which their features have been distorted and exaggerated to mock or satirize the subject.
It seems that RHOBH newbie Annemarie Wiley was not a fan of how Drunk Drawn depicted her in their drawing which was posted following last Wednesday’s episode,
Most Housewives take the posts in jest and get that it’s all in good fun. However, Annemarie Wiley believed that Drunk Drawn depicted her looking like a “gorilla” in order to make come off as “aggressive, angry, dangerous, and animalistic.”
On Instagram, the RHOBH rookie called out Drunk Drawn for their “RACISM and cyber bullying” post.
Annemarie Wiley wrote:
RACISM and cyber bullying.In case anyone wants to understand the level that I’ve been dealing with… here you go.I am a black woman.I am a former collegiate athlete.I wake up at 4:30am every day to workout, and I am proud of the muscles and body that I have earned.I am proud to show all young girls that you don’t need to be a size zero to love your body and feel worthy.That you can be strong, athletic, and proud of yourself.I am proud to be a role model for girls and women that don’t fit the “model mold”.I am 5’9, 150 lbs, a size 6, and I share that information proudly and openly.Drawing a black woman as a gorilla is disgusting and completely unacceptable! Black women are strong and beautiful. Throughout history black women have been villainized as combative, aggressive, angry, dangerous, and “animalistic” at every opportunity!This is nothing compared to microagressions and name calling…This is an entirely different level of RACISM and HATRED!I am a mother. I take care of people for a living.There is a kind hearted human with feelings, children, and a REAL life behind the snippets you see on a reality tv show.Enough of the racism and enough of the cyber bullying.Shame on you @ drunkdrawn
RHOBH fans had mixed reactions to Annemarie Wiley’s accusations and Drunk Drawn caricature.
Some fans agreed with Annemarie, with several calling the post “disgusting” however the majority of fans didn’t see how the drawing was racist and felt that Annemarie was “reaching” with her claims.
“Exaggerate much? Zero racism here,” one fan wrote on Annemarie’s Instagram post.
“The person drew an exaggerated version of your muscles? Not sure why this is racist,” a second fan wrote.
A third commented, “Drunk Drawn gives everybody exaggerated proportions. When they draw Angie K she has one eye. Get a sense of humor. You’re intolerable.”
“Reaching ? I don’t see gorilla. He draws caricatures of all the housewives. Girl bye,” a forth fan shared.
Another fan commented, “You really should research the artist, who by the way apologized. Exaggerated caricature muscles are the style. Is it rude? Maybe. Racist? No. That’s your perception of it Annemarie. You ALWAYS make issue where there is none.”
Drunk Drawn took down the post and apologized if his caricature of Annmarie came across as racist in any way as that was not his intention when creating the drawing.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
