Annemarie Wiley was fired from The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills after just one season and admitted she was “disappointed” not to return.
The TV personality, 40 — who recently appeared in the three-part RHOBH reunion — took to her main Instagram page on Thursday to post a statement regarding her abrupt exit from the Bravo series.

She wrote to her nearly 67,000 followers: “I just found out today that I will not be returning to ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ To say I’m disappointed is an understatement.
“I never auditioned for this show. The show found me and asked me to come on out of the blue 6 weeks after the cast started filming. I was thrown into filming 2 weeks later, mid-season.

The TV personality — who recently appeared in the three-part RHOBH reunion — took to her main Instagram page on Thursday to release a statement regarding her abrupt exit from the Bravo series.
Wiley added that she had been “excited” by the experience, “and I thought that following exactly what I was asked to do throughout filming was how the ‘game was played.’
“Listening to what I was asked to do was a rookie mistake. What disappoints me is that fans never got to see my true nature or even get a glimpse of my unique story…’
“Contrary to what was shown on TV, I am not obsessed with the esophagus! LOL,” Annemarie explained, referring to the drama with Stracke.
During the season, Sutton said she suffered from esophageal stricture, which is a narrowing of the esophagus and can cause “difficulty swallowing” in patients, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Wiley had questioned whether Stracke was telling the truth and said during a confessional, according to Page six“After hearing about Sutton’s small esophagus, as a nurse anesthetist, I think what she’s saying just doesn’t make sense.”
At one point during one episode, she also addressed Sutton’s health claims in conversation.
“From what I understand…a narrow esophagus is a symptom of something, it’s not a medical diagnosis. If you have a stricture in your esophagus, you just chew your food more.
However, she quickly received backlash for questioning the diagnosis, including from Real Housewives Of Miami star Nicole Martin – who shared a video calling out Wiley for questioning Sutton.
She wrote to her nearly 67,000 followers: “I just found out today that I will not be returning to ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ To say I’m disappointed is an understatement.

While on Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, Annemarie apologized and said: “Let me start by saying (sorry) to everyone who was hurt, offended by my facetious remark. ..”
“And the lesson learned in that, as a (medical) professional on this platform, I now understand that I’m not going to have the same kind of… latitude to be absurd, as some of the other ladies will with other. things.’
Annemarie later added: “I’m really trying to understand what (Stracke) is talking about and this is why. It’s presented to me, as someone meeting ladies for the first time, as an excuse.
The star explained that Sutton became “very angry and defensive” because of her questioning. “She’s not very forthcoming with information sometimes. So that’s really what it is.
During the RHOBH season 13 reunion, Stracke notably had a medical emergency while filming — which she later revealed was due to exhaustion and dehydration.
She also previously denied that the medical emergency she experienced on set was alcohol-related.
In her statement shared Thursday, Wiley also expressed to her fans, “What I am is a woman, a proud black woman, who is truly blessed to have a wonderful, strong black man as a husband who raises us , me and our four wonderful children, with so much love and positivity every day.
