LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Real Housewife of Beverly Hills' star Annemarie Wiley was fired after less than one season from the popular Bravo franchise because the other cast members did not like her supporting Donald Trump and right-wing political views, Daily Mail reports. 

Wiley, 41, announced her departure from the show March 21 after she expressed disappointment that viewers did not get to see "the real" her. 

Annemarie Wiley's political opinions clashed with other housewives 

The real reason for Wiley's departure from the show was reportedly her strong political views that clashed with the other housewives.

According to a source, "A cast member having polarizing views and the ladies taking her to task would have been part of a juicy storyline on any Real Housewives franchise, but after politics railroaded Season 13 of the New York cast, producers just edited all of those segments out of the Beverly Hills season." 

Eboni K Williams, a 40-year-old former cast member of 'ROHNY,' was charged with continuously lecturing her fellow housewives about racial issues during a season that did not go down well with viewers. The political scenes from the Beverly Hills season in an attempt to avoid a recurrence of the accident, leaving viewers perplexed as to why Wiley's real-life housewife career ended so abruptly.

The show was rather focused on disagreements involving Wiley, Sutton Stracke, 52, and Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 41. Wiley, the nurse anesthesiologist, came under fire from Kung-Minkoff for pretending to be a doctor, and she and Stracke got into a heated argument over Annemarie's persistent probing of Sutton's admission that she had an "esophagus disorder."

Wiley addressed the drama in a lengthy statement about her departure saying, "Contrary to what was shown on TV, I am not obsessed with the esophagus! LOL."

The source said, "Annemarie and Crystal Kung-Minkoff were at odds all season over Annemarie's misrepresenting she was a doctor, but Annemarie's politics really disgusted Crystal even more." 

"The Chinese-American openly struggled to understand why a woman of color would be aligned with Trump, who has made racist comments about various nationalities and colors," the source added.  

Annemarie Wiley was a proud Trump supporter 

The source dished, "One of the few things Annemarie didn't lie about during the taping of the show was her political beliefs."  It added, "She was open and proud to be Team MAGA and a staunch Donald Trump supporter."

The cast, which includes Kyle Richards, 55, Dorit Kemsley, 47, Garcelle Beauvais, 57, and Erika Jayne, 52, was offended by the mother-of-four, who is married to former NFL player Marcellus Wiley, for being "hyper-defensive" of her husband's opinions toward transgender players.

The source added, "During the reunion taping, Garcelle Beauvais expressed her disgust that Annemarie was a fan of political conspiracy theorist Candace Owens and said it told her all that she needed to know about Annemarie." 

Ultimately Wiley's political views and the producers' reluctance to air them were what led to her being fired off the show.

The source later added, "The cast feels as though if producers aren't going to let the audience see the real Annemarie, there's no need to keep her on the show, " adding, "They don't want to work with someone with such off-putting personal and political views if it's not going to be shown on camera."

Internet reacts to Annemarie Wiley's 'RHOBH' exit 

Social media users reacted after 'RHOB’ star Wiley was allegedly fired from the show for openly supporting Trump and having other strong political opinions. 

A user wrote, "People who applaud this kind of politically motivated firing have a problem with basic democratic principles. They should then hire only registered democrats- let's see how the show ratings are going after that." 

Another user said, "You saw what happened with the Bachelor. It went woke and now I don't think anyone really watches it." 

A user wrote, "The others can preach their lies about Trump and MAGA, yet this person isn't allowed to have her own opinions Nope….that's wrong." 

A user wrote, "It's concerning that some people feel inhibited to express their opinions due to fear of repercussions on their income, especially since freedom of speech is an essential right in a democratic society." 

Another user wrote on X, "She isn’t the first to get the boot for her political views. Kelsey Grammer’s ex-wife Camille comes to mind." 



 

Another user said sarcastically, "How dare she have opinions in America?"
