Annemarie Wiley, aged 40, announced on Instagram that she will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She expressed her disappointment, revealing that she never auditioned for the show. The opportunity came unexpectedly when she was asked to join the cast 6 weeks after filming had already begun. She found herself filming just 2 weeks later, in the middle of the season.

Annemarie initially expressed her excitement about the opportunity, but later realized she had made a rookie mistake by following instructions without question.

She expressed her disappointment in not being able to show fans her true self or share glimpses of her unique life story. Contrary to what was portrayed on TV, she clarified that she is not fixated on the esophagus, referencing a season 13 storyline involving Sutton Stracke. Annemarie emphasized that she is a proud Black woman, blessed with a loving and supportive Black husband who uplifts her and their four children with love and positivity every day.

She expressed that her main goal was to showcase a strong Black family on RHOBH. She mentioned that her struggles after her mother's passing and adoption experience were filmed but not aired.

As an athlete, she believes challenges only make you stronger and more determined to succeed. She looks forward to new opportunities that focus on positivity, truth, authenticity, and values that resonate with her.

Annemarie, a nurse anesthetist, has been married to former NFL defensive end Marcellus Wiley since 2014. Together they have three children - Marcellus Jr., Aliya Jane, and Alivia Marie. Marcellus also has a daughter named Morocca Alise from a previous relationship.
