00:00 I have nothing but regrets.
00:01 Bravo is down a diamond holder.
00:04 The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newest cast member,
00:07 Anna Marie Wiley, announces she will not be returning for season 14 of the Bravo series
00:13 after major drama with co-star Sutton Strack.
00:16 You picked the wrong person.
00:18 In a March 21st Instagram post, the nurse anesthetist writes,
00:24 "I just got word today that I will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
00:30 "To say that I'm disappointed is an understatement."
00:33 She goes on to explain, "I never auditioned for this show.
00:37 The show found me and asked me to be on it out of the blue six weeks after the
00:41 cast had already started filming. I was thrown into filming two weeks later mid-season."
00:47 The 40-year-old shares that although she was very excited to be on the show,
00:52 she was disappointed with how she went about it.
00:55 Adding, "I was very excited about the opportunity
00:58 and I thought following exactly what I was instructed to do throughout filming last season
01:03 was the way the game was played. Listening to what I was instructed to do was a rookie mistake."
01:10 Anna Marie, who's married to retired NFL player Marcellus Wiley, continues,
01:15 "What I'm disappointed about is the fans never got to see the real me
01:20 or even a glimpse of my unique life story."
01:27 This season, Anna Marie baffled bravoholics when she attempted multiple times to discredit
01:33 co-star Sutton Strzok's claim that Sutton has trouble eating because she suffers from a medically
01:39 diagnosed small esophagus. "She said, 'Well, it's because of my small esophagus.' So her small
01:45 esophagus. Teddy, she says that she has a small esophagus." "I have nothing but regrets. I've
01:50 apologized to Sutton both, you know, privately and publicly and it was something that I wish I'd never
01:56 even talked about. Nothing, nothing that I should have brought up. I should have left it alone."
02:01 Anna Marie addresses the repeated storyline in her farewell, saying,
02:06 "Contrary to what was shown on TV, I'm not obsessed with the esophagus. What I am is a woman,
02:13 a proud black woman, who is truly blessed with a wonderful, strong black man as my husband,
02:19 who lifts me and our four wonderful children up with so much love and positivity on a daily.
02:25 It was an important mission of mine for the next season to show a solid black family unit
02:30 and that true black love exists even in Beverly Hills." "I'm gonna wake up in the morning to my
02:35 amazing children and my amazing husband and my amazing life and thank God that I'm not lonely
02:40 and I'm not insecure. Damn." "Who's lonely and insecure?" Anna Marie concludes her announcement
02:46 with a message to fellow season 13 co-stars Kyle Richards, Garcelle Beauvais, Erika Jayne,
02:53 Dorit Kemsley, Krystal Kung-Minkoff and Sutton Strack. To the fans that saw past what was
02:58 portrayed and saw the real me, thank you so much for the love and support. I wish all the ladies
03:04 good luck on the next season and thank you Bravo for the opportunity.
