The RHOBH alum claims Annemarie Wiley’s husband Marcellus was banned from the Season 13 reunion
During her Humble Brag podcast, Crystal shared why she didn’t want Annemarie’s now-estranged husband, Marcellus Wiley, at the reunion. “At my last reunion – in which it was her first season and only season – I had made sure to request that he was not allowed to be there. I called production, and I made sure,” Crystal stated. “I was going to insist, but apparently they already asked him not to come.”
She added that she “always felt very uncomfortable” around Marcellus. According to Crystal, Marcellus also “lied” on social media about her and RHOBH co-star Garcelle Beauvais. “We had a lot of people involved, like the production network,” Crystal continued. “So they were very helpful with us, very protective.” The RHOBH Season 13 reunion didn’t feature any of the husbands.
On July 4, Annemarie claimed that Marcellus threatened to “kill her” while they were staying in a Florida hotel room with their three kids. He was arrested on a domestic battery charge.
Shortly after, Annemarie filed for divorce and requested a restraining order against Marcellus. She also filed for custody of their children. In her court documents, Annemarie accused her estranged husband of a “continuing and escalating pattern of physical violence, sexual abuse, verbal and emotional abuse, financial control and intimidation.”
Meanwhile, Marcellus was accused of rape during his time at Columbia University by three separate accusers. These alleged incidents took place in the 1990s. Marcellus has denied these allegations.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is streaming on Peacock.
