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."
