Instead of fearing the test results, Wiley confessed she was "super optimistic" and claimed surgeons felt the same. She promised to keep fans updated before concluding the video with a message about mental health.

Wiley Aired Her Disappointment At Bravo

Wiley addressed her removal from the reality TV series in March, airing her grievances with Bravo on Instagram. "I just got word today that I will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," she began, adding:

"To say that I'm disappointed is an understatement. I never auditioned for this show. The show found me and asked me to be on it out of the blue, 6 weeks after the cast had already started filming."

The media personality, married to former NFL star Marcellus Wiley, lamented that she couldn't show fans her unique love story. Had she remained, this aspect of her life would have been depicted in the show's 14th season.

While reflecting on her plans for "RHOBH" season 14, Wiley confessed: "It was an important mission of mine for the next season to show a solid Black family unit and that true Black love exists, even in Beverly Hills."

Additionally, the former reality TV star hoped to share her struggles with fans, including the profound loss of her mother to lung cancer and navigating through the complexities of adoption trauma.

As stated, fans were equally displeased by Wiley's removal from the show and called out Bravo for kicking her out. One commenter claimed:

"You deserved to have another shot! WOW. Super disappointed in @bravotv @bravoandy. I guess the key to staying on the show is giving ZERO."

Could the Bravo series be the type of "stress" Annemarie Wiley advised fans to avoid?
