“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Annemarie Wiley is sharing her thoughts about her former castmate, Crystal Kung Minkoff.
On the April 2 episode of former Bravo producer Carlos King’s podcast, “Reality with The King,” Wiley referenced that her contract for RHOBH was not renewed after the show’s 13th season. She also noted that she had issues with Minkoff throughout season 13. As fans are aware, Wiley stated that Minkoff called her castmates “uneducated” in season 13. Minkoff denied the claim.
While speaking to King, Wiley stated that she was truthful when she made the claim about Minkoff.
“Who makes that up? I already said, I don’t lie. You know, I made a lot of mistakes doing this show, but one thing I don’t do — I don’t lie. Why would I make that up?” said the mother of three.
Wiley also stated that Minkoff “made up” that she labeled herself an anesthesiologist instead of her job title, nurse anesthesiologist. The 41-year-old said she believed Minkoff lied about her on camera to secure her role as an RHOBH star.
“She knew that her time was getting cut short. She needed to really bring it. You know, who better to go at than the newbie,” said Wiley.
She went on to say that Minkoff “was a very different person off-camera versus on-camera.” Wiley also stated that she privately confronted Minkoff for her comments about her career when cameras were not rolling.
“I’m like, ‘Crystal what are you doing? This is my career. Like, this isn’t funny,’” said the nurse anesthesiologist. “She was like, ‘No, no, no. This is fine. [Former RHOBH star] 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.’”

However, in a February 2024 Amazon Live, Richards shared that she mended her friendship with Stracke. She said she, Stracke, and her sister, Kathy Hilton, had dinner together.
“We actually had dinner last night. It was nice to try to get past everything that happened this last year,” said the reality television star. “And I don’t like to hold on to any bad feelings or any negativity. So that did feel good to see her. And then my sister Kathy joined us, which was nice. And yes, Kathy had us laughing. It was funny.”
