Why was Annemarie Wiley fired from 'RHOBH' Season 14? Internet trolls Bravo show newbie over midway layoff
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Annemarie Wiley was reportedly fired after her debut in season 13. The reality star recently took to her Instagram to share her disappointment and revealed she would not return for the upcoming season 14 of the Bravo show. Annemarie blamed Sutton Stracke's esophagus' drama for her dismissal.
Annemarie shared, "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." The Bravo star added, "I was thrown into filming 2 weeks later, mid-season." Annemarie was introduced as Kyle Richards' friend in Season 13 Episode 6, which just finished airing on Bravo.
She had a dramatic feud with Sutton and Crystal Kung Minkoff but started developing relationships with the rest of the women. Annemarie called out Sutton over the size of the reality star store owner's esophagus. However, the newbie claimed that it was a topic of conversation, and the producers told her to fuel a drama.
She explained, "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.'" The reality star elaborated, "Listening to what I was instructed to do was my rookie mistake. Contrary to what was shown on TV, I am not obsessed with the esophagus! LOL."
However, the social media users were on board with Bravo's decision to fire Annemarie and trolled the reality star over her dismissal. An Instagram user commented, "Proving, yet again, why she was so unlikeable. Zero accountability to the very end." Another person added, "GOOD! She served no useful purpose!" Another critic claimed, "She was boring."
Another internet user penned, "Good...she wasn't a good fit anyway." Another social media user wrote, "Bringing up what you had to offer AFTER the season aired is pointless. You ran with esophogate as your storyline, doubled down on your attacks at Crystal THEN you came at Garcelle. You dug your own grave ma'am." Another follower said, "Already spinning the victim narrative. 'It wasn't my fault. It was editing. They made me do it.'"
