Annemarie Wiley Claims Garcelle Beauvais Uses the Race Card to Intimidate White ‘RHOBH’ Costars!
Annemarie Wiley has accused Garcelle Beauvais of playing the race card to intimidate her white Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars.
After being fired from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — Annemarie Wiley has embarked on a media circuit, vocally criticizing her ex castmates, particularly Crystal Kung Minkoff and Garcelle Beauvais.
During a recent appearance on Reality with the King podcast, Annemarie Wiley divulged a behind-the-scenes chat with Crystal Kung Minkoff, alluding to her infamous ’14 friends’ conflict, and mentioned that fellow cast members hesitate to confront Garcelle Beauvais for fear of being deemed ‘racist.’
During a previous season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — Crystal disclosed her fallout with a set of 14 friends, a narrative met with skepticism by Kyle Richards, who flagged it as concerning.
Annemarie revealed, “Crystal and I share many mutual friends. I’m acquainted with a few from that group of 14.”
The blogger inquired if it was accurate that some in this friend group distanced themselves from her following an RHOBH casting call, with Crystal allegedly persuading them against joining, only to participate in the show later herself. Annemarie responded affirmatively, acknowledging the insight.
She further asserted that Crystal was aware her presence on the show was diminishing and thus, sought to instigate conflict.
Annemarie reflected, “Targeting the newcomer seemed her strategy. I presumed we were close friends. However, her persona varied significantly off-camera. I became her gateway to spark that conflict.”
Annemarie also conveyed that Crystal confessed to fabricating an account of their initial encounter.
“We were en route to Spain,” said Annemarie. “She’s acting normal, and we haven’t spoken since a week before at Dorit‘s event when she called me the B-word and accused me of title mis[representation].”
“I’m like, ‘Crystal what are you doing? This is my career. This isn’t funny,’” she went on. “And she’s like, ‘No no no it’s fine. Lisa Rinna used to make up stuff all the time. It’s totally fine. I’m just so happy because now I have a storyline. I have my drama for the year and I’ll get to come back next year.’ Verbatim.”
Annemarie also spoke about her tensions with Garcelle:
“[Garcelle]’s been able to get away with unnecessarily playing the race card so many times unchallenged, because who can challenge her, right?” said Annemarie, via @therealhousewiveszone on Instagram. “The other ladies can’t challenge her, so I think that’s been her play for so long.”
Annemarie believes Garcelle preferred to be the sole person of color among the cast and noted that Garcelle did not defend her when Sutton Stracke described her actions as an ‘attack.’
“It’s the exact same thing [that Dorit said to Garcelle], but [Garcelle] only wants to call it when it applies to her,” shared Annemarie.
Carlos proposed that RHOBH co-stars hesitate to confront Garcelle because they fear being labeled as ‘racist.’
“I would say yeah,” responded Annemarie. “If I wasn’t Black, I would be.”
