Nationality	American
Occupation	Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, television personality
Known for	The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (Season 13)
Spouse(s)	Marcellus Wiley

Annemarie Wiley is an American certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) and television personality who became known as a cast member on the thirteenth season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a Bravo reality television series. She'd already built her career in nurse anesthesiology before reality TV came calling, and that profession became central to both her on-screen presence and a major legal dispute with an anesthesiology organization. The show only kept her for one season. Bravo didn't ask her back for season fourteen, a decision she found deeply disappointing. After leaving the franchise, Wiley became vocal about political expression in entertainment, arguing that her conservative views on girls' sports played a role in her exit. She's married to Marcellus Wiley, a former National Football League player and sports media personality.

Career

Nurse Anesthesiology

Wiley's professional foundation is in nurse anesthesiology. She's a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), which means administering anesthesia and managing patients during surgical procedures. She'd been doing this work long before she ever stepped in front of cameras, and she's talked publicly about what the job entails and why it matters. That advocacy eventually led to serious legal trouble.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

When Bravo came calling for season thirteen of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Wiley didn't have to audition. According to her interview with Evie Magazine, the network approached her directly about joining the cast. She skipped the typical audition process entirely.

Her identity as a nurse anesthetist became a major part of her storyline on the show. She also appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the companion talk show where cast members field questions from Andy and viewers.

But it didn't last. In March 2024, Bravo confirmed she wouldn't be coming back for season fourteen. Wiley posted on social media about it, making clear she wasn't happy. "I'm disappointed" is an understatement," she said. Entertainment outlets covered the story widely, treating her sudden exit as significant news.

Political Statements and Departure from Bravo

After Bravo let her go, Wiley started talking about why it happened, and she framed it in political terms. She told Fox News in August 2025 that she believed the network had essentially canceled her for being conservative. She'd left the Democratic Party, a shift she partly attributed to her decision to publicly stand up for girls' sports (a reference to debates over transgender athletes in women's and girls' athletic competitions).

According to that Fox News report, Wiley believed her outspoken stance on this issue and her rightward political shift cost her a spot on the show. She positioned herself as someone who'd spoken up on principle and paid the price for it.

The Evie Magazine interview in June 2025 gave her more room to explain. She used the phrase "I wasn't supposed to say it out loud" to describe the reaction she got when expressing views that didn't align with Hollywood's political culture or Bravo's apparent expectations. The piece positioned her as someone experiencing a political awakening and fighting for women, treating her girls' sports advocacy as a feminist issue.

Bravo and NBCUniversal haven't responded publicly to Wiley's claims about why she was let go. Cast changes happen constantly on the Real Housewives franchise, and the network typically keeps its reasons private.

Defamation Lawsuit

Wiley's professional life got even messier when she sued an anesthesiologists' professional organization for defamation. The dispute centered on questions about what nurse anesthetists can and can't do compared to physician anesthesiologists, a tension that's been brewing in the medical field for years.

In April 2025, MDLinx reported on the case, calling it a "shocking defamation suit" and noting the strange intersection of reality TV fame with serious professional disputes in healthcare. The lawsuit caught attention from both entertainment media and medical industry observers because it was so unusual to see a reality television personality fighting a healthcare organization over scope of practice.

By October 2025, things had shifted. Bloomberg Law reported that Wiley had won against a defamation counterclaim the anesthesiologists' organization filed against her. The court dismissed it. The headline said she'd "beaten" their defamation claim, making clear their attempt to turn the tables had failed.

The case exposed deeper problems in American healthcare around how we recognize and respect advanced practice nurses versus physician specialists. Wiley's TV profile gave unusual visibility to a dispute that would've normally stayed behind closed doors in professional circles.

Personal Life

Wiley is married to Marcellus Wiley, a former NFL player who's now a sports commentator and media personality. The couple lives in the Beverly Hills area, the same neighborhood where Annemarie filmed the Bravo show.

Things got more complicated in March 2025. Page Six reported that Marcellus Wiley faced rape allegations from two women dating back to his time at Columbia University. The accusations emerged publicly as Annemarie was getting media attention from her own legal case.

The allegations brought more scrutiny to the Wiley family. The current legal status and any resolution of these accusations haven't been detailed in available reporting.

Recognition

Most of Wiley's public recognition comes from her season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and what happened after. Her single season generated substantial media buzz. She didn't win awards for the role, but people definitely noticed.

Her defamation lawsuit also got attention, especially from healthcare and legal media. Bloomberg Law and MDLinx both covered the case, and her victory against the counterclaim was noted as a significant outcome in scope-of-practice disputes.

She found a new platform in conservative media circles after leaving Bravo. Her Fox News interview about being "canceled" for her politics got shared widely among political commentators. The Evie Magazine piece positioned her as a voice in ongoing debates about conservative representation in entertainment.

Her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen alongside Chloe Fineman was documented on IMDb, showing how she'd become part of the wider Bravo ecosystem while she was on the show.
