Annemarie Wiley Calls RHOBH “Satanic” and Reveals What Was Cut From Show, Plus Accuses Bravo of Character Assassination, Responds to Being Labeled “Transphobic” & Talks Faith

Annemarie Wiley is looking back on her single-season run on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, accusing Bravo and producers of retaliating against her with their edits due to her beliefs about transgender athletes in sports and her political stance.

Over a year after confirming season 13 would be her first and last with the series, the 41-year-old nurse anesthetist and wife of former NFL player Marcellus Wiley, 50, is lashing out at the “woke” network, slamming the series as “satanic,” explaining why she now votes Republican, and more.

“I wasn’t looking to be famous. I said yes [to RHOBH] because I thought I could share something different, something positive. I had no idea what I was walking into,” Annemarie admitted in a June 2 interview with Evie Magazine. “I’m just a very open and honest and authentic person … I shared my real thoughts. I didn’t realize I was setting myself up for full character assassination.”

According to Annemarie, she was blindsided by the backlash she received over what she said was her “truth.”

“I had no idea Bravo and NBC were so woke. It just wasn’t on my radar,” she explained. 

Going into the show, where she was ultimately labeled “problematic,” Annemarie said she was excited to showcase her “happy nuclear black family.”

“But that wasn’t their agenda … [And] none of it made it to air,” she revealed, noting that Bravo cut out the moment her mother told her she had stage four lung cancer in lieu of focusing on her conflict with her castmates.

“It’s produced. Not scripted, but definitely planned. The producers have an agenda,” she stated. “I learned the hard way: They are not your friends. I thought it was a sisterhood. I thought it was about women who genuinely wanted to support each other. But that’s not what it is. It’s toxic. It’s calculated. At times, it felt satanic.”

Reflecting on the moment everything changed, Annemarie said it was a resurfaced clip of Marcellus saying he wouldn’t allow their daughters, currently 5 and 6, to compete against men in sports that resulted in her being labelled “transphobic.”

“Suddenly, I was transphobic. A bigot. Just for agreeing that women deserve fairness in sports,” she noted. “We support trans rights. But we also support women. And fairness in sports … Men can’t be women. Women can’t be men … That’s not hate. That’s biology … There are biological differences between men and women that make competition unfair.”

“No one is saying trans people can’t compete. We’re saying: Compete with your biological sex. That’s how sports work. That’s how fairness works,” she added. 

While Annemarie insisted she and Marcellus weren’t transphobic during filming on RHOBH, she faced “harassment” from her co-stars, and what she described as a powerful exchange that could’ve sparked a real conversation was cut. Annemarie also said the network retaliated against her by editing her into “someone unlikable” for sharing her statements.

Among other controversial topics discussed amid production was pedophilia. As Annemarie explained, she spoke out against Balenciaga’s 2021 campaign, which included disturbing images of children and reshared comments from conservative commentators Candace Owens, 36, and Tucker Carlson, 56, since they were the only ones talking about it.

“Suddenly, I’m a MAGA supporter. A Trump fanatic. Just for being outraged about the exploitation of children. They kept saying, ‘Oh, you’re best friends with Candace Owens.’ I’ve never even met her,” she shared. “I told them, ‘I’m speaking out against child pornography, and you’re mad at me? What does that say about you?”

According to Annemarie, even if her castmates agreed with her, she doesn’t believe they’d speak up.

“They’re afraid to lose their jobs,” she suspected.

As a lifelong liberal who voted for former President Joe Biden, 82, she claimed she “didn’t even know this was a political issue until [she] got dragged into it.”

“I was crying on the couch when George Floyd happened. I believed everything. I was so emotional,” she noted.

Meanwhile, her husband was skeptical, especially when it came to the Black Lives Matter movement.

“He was the first one to expose that BLM’s mission statement literally said they wanted to dismantle the nuclear family,” she alleged. “Eventually, I had to look at both parties and ask, ‘What do they actually stand for?’ And when I looked at my values, truth, family, common sense, safety, it was obvious. I guess that makes me conservative now.”

Acknowledging that voting as a Republican could be seen as a “betrayal” to the Black community, Annemarie suggested she had no other choice.

“I didn’t like where our country was going. Crime. Open borders. Inflation. No integrity. No plan. Just a lot of performance. I couldn’t vote for that,” she reasoned. “I want the culture to get better for everyone. That’s why I vote the way I do.”

Although she admitted that current President Donald Trump, 78, “has flaws,” she slammed those who’ve labeled him a “racist.”

“That’s a weapon. It’s a word people use to shut down conversation when they don’t like someone,” she explained. 

“Look at [California governor Gavin Newsom]. Look at [Los Angeles mayor] Karen Bass,” she continued. “LA is in ruins. Homelessness is exploding. Billions have been wasted. Fires are destroying cities. But no one wants to talk about that. They want to pretend Trump is the problem when we’re living through the consequences of their leadership.”

Amid the ongoing backlash she’s faced, Annemarie has leaned on her faith.

“There’s no way I’ve been through what I’ve been through and ended up here without God. God had a plan. I made decisions. He made them work. All the moments I thought were rock bottom? They were just steps,” she stated. “Everything I’ve overcome? That was God. Every time I thought I was at my lowest, He carried me.”

“So when I say better will come, I know it. Because it always has,” she concluded.
