Botched's Dr. Terry Dubrow Has Officially Weighed in on RHOBH's Esophagus-Gate Controversy

Dr. Terry Dubrow is examining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' perplexing esophagus debate.

After season 13 newbie Annemarie Wiley, who works as a nurse anesthetist, attempted multiple times to discredit costar Sutton Stracke's claim that she has trouble eating because she suffers from a medically diagnosed small esophagus, the Botched star is weighing in on the puzzling controversy.

"It's tough because when a person has a medical condition and you're not their provider, you're only getting incomplete information," the famed plastic surgeon exclusively told E! News (airing tonight at 11 p.m. on E!). "So, it puts you in a potentially precarious situation to start making opinions based on the little bit of information you may or may not have."

In fact, Terry agrees with fans who have called out Annemarie for creating drama over something as silly as her cast member's throat anatomy.

"I think if you were to ask Annemarie now if she could go back in time, whether she'd opine in the same way she did previously, I doubt it," he continued. "I think she probably learned a little bit of a lesson from that. But, she's a first-season Housewife and those are very difficult waters to navigate. It takes a few seasons to figure out how to get along with everybody under those pressure situations."

But while Annemarie and Sutton have since put the esophagus argument behind them, Terry hopes the nurse will put a nail in that coffin come RHOBH's upcoming reunion.

"I'm looking forward to seeing what happens at the reunion," he noted, "because I'm sure that was adjudicated very strongly. But it's tough. When you put yourself in a situation as a medical provider making opinions with impartial information, it can get you in trouble." 

Terry isn't the first Bravolebrity to give his two cents on Annemarie's polarizing attack of Sutton. The Real Housewives of Miami's resident anesthesiologist Dr. Nicole Martin previously called out her fellow Real Housewife for questioning Sutton's condition.

"It does not matter where you fall on the spectrum—all the way from being a tech to being a doctor—you joined the profession to be an advocate for patients," she shared in a Dec. 22 Instagram video, "and as such, it is not our place to belittle, question or demean a patient's symptoms or diagnosis."

"We are there to facilitate and help the patient through the medical process," she added, "and it was just very uncomfortable and cringey to watch Annemarie belittle Sutton's symptoms in such a way."

Linda was born with Omphalocele, a birth defect of the abdominal wall where the infant's intestines, liver or other organs stick outside of the belly through the belly button. The life-saving surgery she received left her with a brutal scar on her stomach.

Terry removed abdominal irregularities and scarring before tightening the underlying abdominal wall and giving Linda the belly button she never had.

Years later, she had a procedure to remove the unknown matter in her rear but developed a severe infection that left her hips and butt deformed. Terry created buttock pockets and moved fat tissue into her rear before removing the scarred skin tissue.

A near-fatal car accident landed Haylie in the hospital for 86 days and left her with an eye she's unable to close. Despite having a whopping 42 procuders to try to fix the injury, she remained at risk of losing her sight because the cornea is drying out. Paul reconstructed her upper and lower eyelid sockets using bone grafts and used skin grafts to give her eye tissue that would allow her to close her eye.

For his second time around with the Botched docs, Paul replaced the previous bone graft with new a new one to build out Nate's bridge and expanded his nostrils to improve his breathing, leaving him with a more symmetrical nose.

Having struggled with her weight all her life, Terina underwent a gastric sleeve procedure and lost over 100 pounds. However, she was left with tons of hanging skin. A Tijuana mommy makeover landed her in the ER with dying flesh and an emergency surgery barely saved her life. Terry removed her scarring and tightened her skin to give her the flat stomach she always wanted.

Tyliyah's ear piercing produced a skin keloid that she had removed five times, but every time it grew back more bumpy and bulbous. Paul removed the keloid tissue before injesting her ear with a tumor therapy to prevent it from growing back.

A botched breast augmentation left Rebecca with one high boob and one low boob. Terry removed her misplaced implants and inserted new ones before lifting the sagging breast.

After removing her misplaced implants, Terry restitched her muscles then added new, smaller implants before lifting the dropping skin and repositioning her nipples.

A botched facelift left Jo Anna with scars and pigment discoloration along her jowls and neck. Paul cut out as much of the scarred skin as possible before using medical tattoos to cover as much of the discolored skin at possible.

After having three kids, Mary desperately wanted a mommy makeover. But her Mexican breast lift and tummy immediately got infected, leaving her scarred and without nipples or breast tissue. Terry gave her a proper breast life and implants before removing the scarred tissue on her stomach and tightening her tummy. Plus, now Mary has nipples thanks to permanent skin tattoos.

As a teen, Zaverie broke his nose playing basketball leaving him with a nose so crooked it looked like something out of a Picasso painting. Two rhinoplasties later and the Toronto native's nose looked even worse. 

Paul removed the crooked septal crest and implanted a new bridge harvested from rib bone, giving Zaverie a straight nose once again.

Sandra underwent five surgeries before the age of two after she was born with Omphalocele, a birth defect where a person's intestines or internal organs are on the outside of her body. The life-saving procedures left her with intense scarring on her stomach that filled her with shame.

Terry cut out much of the scars and scar tissue, leaving Sandra with a tighter, smoother belly. The doctor even created a belly button for her.

Paul was able to give Mellissa the tip she's always dreamed up.

Mikeal's botched tummy tuck left her with a flesh-eating bacterial infection than nearly killed her. The damaged skin left her stomach deformed with a crater from her pubic area to her mid-abdomen.

Terry repaired the massive, unsightly scarring by covering it up with the healthy skin still on Mikeal's tummy—and it was a complete success. Miraculously, Terry was able to replace 100 percent of the scarring, leaving Mikeal with a normal-looking torso.

After having a child, Bianca went for a tummy tuck that turned her abdomen into a terrifying sight. The Botched docs were able to fix Bianca's scarred tummy, giving her back the confidence she lost.
