‘Very hurtful, disgusting and damaging’

“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Annemarie Wiley shut down allegations that she and her husband, Marcellus Wiley, are transphobic, even though they believe trans athletes should not compete against cis athletes.

However, she pointed out that they have a problem with transgender women playing against cisgender women in sports because of their physical differences.

Annemarie’s time on the show was later cut short when she was fired after just one season.

“I just found out today that I will not be returning to ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.’ To say I’m disappointed is an understatement,” she wrote via Instagram on March 21.
