Crystal Kung Minkoff claimed she “always felt very uncomfortable” around former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Annemarie Wiley’s now-estranged husband, Marcellus Wiley.
“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,” Crystal, 43, claimed during the Monday, July 13, episode of her “Humble Brag” podcast. “I called production and I made sure. I was going to insist, but apparently they already asked him not to come.”
During RHOBH season 13, Crystal and Annemarie, 42, did not get along. She claimed on Monday that Marcellus, 51, “lied” about her and Bravo alum Garcelle Beauvais on social media.
“We had a lot of people involved, like the production network. So they were very helpful with us, very protective,” she added, claiming there were “no husbands allowed” at that reunion.
Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment.

“We were heading into a reunion in which she and I were going to be combative,” Crystal continued. “I can personally say that I have always been uncomfortable, but I feel very sad for the children.”
Marcellus was arrested for domestic battery on July 4 following an alleged altercation with Annemarie while they were staying at a hotel in Florida. Annemarie claimed that Marcellus threatened to “kill her” and “put his hands on her,” according to her witness statement.
Following his arrest, the court issued a no contact order against Marcellus on July 5, barring him from contacting Annemarie.
Us confirmed on July 6 that Annemarie filed for divorce from Marcellus following the incident. They were married for 12 years and share son Marcellus Jr., 10, and daughters Ariya, 7, and Alivia, 6. (He also has a daughter from a prior relationship.)
Bravo newbie Annemarie Wiley admits it’s been “very hard” dealing with the social media backlash from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills viewers. “I know who I am as a person, and I am somebody who prides myself on being a kind and caring and fun and giving person,” Annemarie, 40, told Us Weekly exclusively while […]
Annemarie filed for legal and physical custody of their children with no visitation. She also requested spousal support and asked that Marcellus pay for her attorneys fees. The RHOBH alum filed a domestic violence restraining order against Marcellus, asking the court to protect her children as well.
Annemarie alleged in docs obtained by Us that Marcellus displayed a “continuing and escalating pattern of physical violence, sexual abuse, verbal and emotional abuse, financial control and intimidation, much of which our children have witnessed.”
Marcellus, for his part, denied the “baseless claims” in a social media statement addressing their “unfortunate divorce.”
