Annemarie Wiley has been fired from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after less than one season.
“I just got word today that I will not be returning to ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ To say that I’m disappointed is an understatement,” the reality star wrote via Instagram Thursday.
Wiley, 40, emphasized that she “never auditioned” to be on the hit Bravo show, and claimed she was asked to star on it “out of the blue” – and six weeks “after the cast had already started filming.”
“To say that I’m disappointed is an understatement,” Wiley wrote via Instagram Thursday. Annemarie Wiley/Instagram Wiley said she was “very excited about the opportunity” when she was asked to join for Season 13. Emily Shur/BravoExplore More
