Annemarie Wiley is sick of the word “esophagus” — along with the rest of us.
While appearing on Wednesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newbie, 40, shared her regrets regarding her claims about Sutton Stracke‘s condition, reacted to Tamra Judge, 56, suggesting she’s putting viewers to sleep, and admitted to thinking the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)’s post against her was “fake” while also looking back at her vulnerable moment with Crystal Kung-Minkoff, 40, and shading her lies.
“Number one, I never want to hear the word esophagus again. Number two, it was none of my business. I should’ve never asked about it,” Annemarie said of Sutton’s disorder on the January 31 episode of WWHL. “I am sincerely, sincerely sorry to Sutton and I’ve apologized to her. We’re in a better place now. But honestly, never want to hear that word again.”
Moving on to her drama with The Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Tamra, who said she puts people to sleep on RHOBH, Annemarie admitted, “I don’t really have a reaction to it.”
“The first half of the season for me is not awesome. So I’m not offended at all,” she reasoned. “It is [an anesthesiology joke]. But she’s like, I put people to sleep at work and I’m putting her to sleep on the show. It was not awesome.”
After Crystal accused her of introducing herself as a doctor, rather than a nurse anesthetist, Annemarie was targeted by the ASA, who blasted her alleged “title misappropriation.” However, when Annemarie first saw the post, she had no idea it was real.
“I thought it was fake. Like, I thought that it was a fake account because I was like, ’There’s no way an actual professional association would do that,’” she recalled. “But my association, the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA), backs me 100 percent.”
According to Annemarie, she believes the ASA targeted her because “they don’t love CRNAs.”
“They don’t love that I am a CRNA that’s on a reality show. I’m bringing a lot of awareness and a lot of advocacy to CRNAs, and there’s people all the time now that are like, ‘I’ve never heard of a CRNA before you,’ and they don’t like that,” she revealed.
As for her feud with Dr. Nicole Martin, 37, Annemarie clarified that she never said the Real Housewives of Miami cast member was clout-chasing her. Instead, she accused Nicole of piggybacking on the success of RHOBH.
“I was saying it’s numbers,” Annemarie clarified. “She’s chiming in because she wants to be involved in the [RHOBH] franchise. I never said me, if you watch it back, I said she’s clout chasing off of Beverly Hils. The numbers speak for themselves and so if you can tag along with that franchise, you’re gonna get lots of views, which is what she got from it.”
During Wednesday night’s episode of RHOBH, fans watched as Annemarie rushed to Crystal’s aid as she suffered a medical scare, ignoring their past issues with one another. Looking back, Annemarie admitted the moment was ironic and “really crazy.”
“I was almost, like, honored that Crystal felt like she could be vulnerable with me. And I was so happy that I could be there for her,” she shared.
That said, all is not well between them. And during a game in which she was asked to give a prescription to each of her castmates, she called Crystal out for her lies — and for using her for a storyline.
“Crystal we’re gonna give some truth serum and a new storyline that doesn’t have me in it,” she stated.
She then said she’d give Dorit Kemsley, 47, “some Imodium for her verbal diarrhea,” and Sutton a love potion so she wouldn’t be a “one-hit wonder forever.”
Annemarie also said she’d give Erika Jayne, 52, “a spoonful of sugar.”
“By that, I mean a sugar daddy. I want Erika to get back to that girl that’s spending,” Annemarie explained, saying that Kyle Richards, 55, needed a “chill pill” since she has so much going on in her life.
Later, on the WWHL: After Show, Annemarie explained husband Marcellus Wiley’s 8.5 ranking.
“It was totally supposed to be funny. It was supposed to be a joke,” she insisted. “My husband and I, we’re like that. Like, he is my best friend. He is my person. We are super silly with each other all the time, and he’s like, ‘Babe, you totally botched that.’ He’s like, ‘You’re not an 8.5 across the board.’ He’s like, ‘Yes, in like looks and brains and body and all that stuff, you’re a 10.’”
Although Marcellus believes Annemarie is a 10 in many ways, he doesn’t like her OCD tendencies.
“I, admittedly, am a stress freak, and I’m like kind of OCD, and he hates those things because he doesn’t like when I’m stressed out,” she shared. “He’s like ‘Those are your 2s.’ It’s an average. So he’s like, ‘Yes you’re a 10 in all the important things.’ He’s like, ‘I wouldn’t have married a non-10.’”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
