Annemarie Wiley isn't the only one sad about her departure from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after one season. Dorit Kemsley addressed her former costar's exit, telling RadarOnline.com, "I feel for her."
"I'm sad for her," Dorit shared with us, revealing she sent Annemarie a message after reading her shocking announcement last week.
"She's unhappy and sad about it," Dorit told RadarOnline.com. "I feel for her." She explained Wiley "will go on to do great things" after being fired from the hit franchise.
Annemarie revealed that she wouldn't be returning to RHOBH after her debut season last week.
Dorit says she's "sad" for Annemarie.
The 41-year-old nurse anesthesiologist told fans, "I just got word today that I will not be returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. To say that I’m disappointed is an understatement."
Annemarie is married to ex-NFL player Marcellus Wiley and joined the cast for Season 13 as Kyle Richards' friend.
Annemarie said she made a "rookie mistake" by listening to producers.
"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," Annemarie shared. "I was thrown into filming 2 weeks later, mid-season."
The track and field star continued by insinuating producers were feeding her talking points — like Sutton Stracke's esophagus — and fans didn't get to know the real her.
"I was very excited about the opportunity, and I thought following exactly what I was instructed to do throughout filming last season was the way the 'game was played,'" Annamarie explained. "Listening to what I was instructed to do was my rookie mistake. ... Contrary to what was shown on TV, I am not obsessed with the esophagus! LOL."

Annamarie said she was disappointed that fans never got "a glimpse of my unique life story," claiming things about her were "taped but never shown last season."
"What I am is a woman — a proud Black woman — who is truly blessed with a wonderful strong Black man as my husband, who lifts me and our four wonderful children up with so much love and positivity on the daily," she wrote. "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."
Annamarie revealed she had hoped "my struggle with losing my mother to lung cancer within weeks of taping, and my struggle with adoption trauma and what was going to be, and still will be, a new life journey for me to find my biological parents" would have made the show.
"To the fans that saw past what was portrayed and saw the REAL me, thank you so much for the love and support," she said. "I wish all the ladies good luck on the next season and thank you Bravo for the opportunity."
Filming for Season 14 of RHOBH is set to begin next month — but no other cast changes or additions have been announced.
