Does Sutton Stracke have eating disorder? 'RHOBH' fans call for Annemarie Wiley's 'firing' after Bravo nurse makes startling diagnosis of costar

Crystal Minkoff refers to 'RHOBH' costar Annemarie Wiley as 'a b*tch' following questions about Sutton Stracke's esophagus

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Regarding Sutton Stracke's "small esophagus" on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills', Annemarie Wiley hasn't held back. Fans are now requesting that the celebrity be fired from the show due to the delicate nature of the issue and accusations of "eating disorders" being thrown around.

Crystal Kung Minkoff's evident hate for Annemarie culminated when she supported Sutton at Dorit Kemsley's Homeless Not Toothless event. "You said she lied!" Crystal told Annemarie on the January 17 episode of 'RHOBH', when the conversation turned back to Sutton's esophagus.

"I said what she said does not make sense medically," Annemarie, a board-certified nurse anesthetist, said. Sutton previously stated that she had an "esophagus disorder" that prevents her from consuming certain meals.

During the dispute, Annemarie sought to throw Crystal under the bus.

"Crystal, you were the one saying she has an eating disorder," Annemarie said, alluding to a moment from the Wednesday episode in which Annemarie made the assertion. Crystal, who has spoken openly about her eating disorder, said, "Are you out of your mind?"

"You literally spent two hours talking about [Sutton] to where [Garcelle Beauvais] and I literally had to leave because it was so annoying," she said.

On X, fans reacted, "Annemarie saying Crystal, who has an eating disorder, was the one to say Sutton has an eating disorder?? Oh hell no!" Another user chimed in, "Annemarie lost me forever when she straight up lied and said Crystal was the one that said Sutton has an eating disorder. It’s even worse when you know that Crystal has spoken about her struggle with an eating disorder before. Really gross behavior from Annemarie."

One user wondered, "How is the eating disorder comment being put on Crystal? Annemarie is insane." A fourth user tweeted, "Annemarie, I don’t think Crystal resents you because you went to medical school. She doesn’t like you because you’re using something sensitive like an eating disorder, which Crystal also struggles with, as a gotcha against another woman you just met. It’s weird." 

Others reacted, "Crystal owes Annemarie an apology? Chile bye…she accused Crystal of saying that Sutton had an eating disorder, when she actually deals with it in real life! In no way does Crystal owe her an apology!" Some users also slammed her, "Annemarie I know you did NOT say Crystal was the one that said “Eating Disorder” when she had an eating disorder!" 

Annemarie stated, "I am trained to be a critical thinker, so when I hear something that doesn’t make sense. … Crystal didn’t you want to go to med school? If you went to med school you’d get that."

Crystal then called Annemarie "such a bitch."

Did 'RHOBH's Crystal Kung Minkoff attend medical school?

Crystal expressed her desire to go to medical school in a flashback clip taken during the women's bus voyage to Ojai in the previous episode. She chose not to go after meeting her now-husband, Rob Minkoff.

"Her husband wouldn’t have waited for her. So I think that Crystal resents me because I’m in the medical profession," Annemarie stated in her confessional. "She's taking out what she didn't get to do on me."

Annemarie ultimately apologized to Sutton. Sutton agreed not to continue discussing her esophagus.

Does 'RHOBH's Crystal Kung Minkoff suffer from an eating disorder?

Crystal has been vocal about her battle with bulimia since joining the cast of 'RHOBH' in 2021 for Season 11.

"I’m a recovering bulimic, and I say recovering because I don’t know what it’s like to be any other thing," the 40-year-old reality TV performer told her 'RHOBH' co-stars during a June 2021 episode.

She told Lisa Rinna, Dorit, Sutton, Kathy Hilton, and Kyle Richards that she had been battling with an eating condition since she was 11 years old. The Real Coco co-founder assured the audience that she was no longer "suffering on the daily."

Later in the show, Crystal confessed that it all started when she viewed an educational film about eating disorders at school. Although the film was intended to expose the risks of bulimia, the Bravolebrity "borrowed tools" from it, thus starting her compulsive eating.

'RHOM's Dr. Nicole Martin slams 'RHOBH's Annemarie Wiley for 'belittling' co-star Sutton Stracke's health problems

'The Real Housewives of Miami' star Dr. Nicole Martin chastised Annemarie, a Bravolebrity who also practices medicine, for making "cringey" remarks regarding her co-star Sutton's medical difficulties.

"It does not matter where you fall on the spectrum—all the way from being a tech to being a doctor. You joined the profession to be an advocate for patients, and as such, it is not our place to belittle, question, or demean a patient’s symptoms or diagnosis," Nicole stated in an Instagram video.

“We are there to facilitate and help the patient through the medical process, and it was just very uncomfortable and cringey to watch Annemarie belittle Sutton’s symptoms in such a way.”

The 'RHOM' star, who is an anesthesiologist, claimed she met Annemarie, a nurse anesthetist, at BravoCon 2023 and thought she was a "lovely" person, but she disagreed with how the reality star handled her co-star's health issues.

'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Season 13 airs on Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on Bravo
