Real Housewives of Potomac‘s Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie, have been booked on criminal fraud charges, as per reports from TMZ.
The couple was booked Thursday night in Westminster, Maryland.
Busted:
The couple reported a burglary in April last year, claiming “they found their bedroom ransacked after returning from a trip to Jamaica.”
According to the prosecution’s bail recommendation documents, the couple reportedly told police several designer bags and jewelry had been stolen.
However, Wendy was later seen in a social media post wearing a diamond ring she claimed was stolen.
Money talks, wealth whispers:
It was determined there was a plan in action all along. Several of the items the Osefos claimed were stolen had been purchased – and returned for refund – by The Osefos.
They concluded Wendy and Eddie returned items to the store “where a full refund was provided prior to the alleged burglary” still claiming they were stolen.
The documents indicate the couple had claimed a $450,000 personal property loss to an insurance company.
The charges:
Wendy is facing 16 charges – which includes seven felonies – for allegedly making “false/misleading info fraud in excess of $300.
She’s also facing one misdemeanor count of making a false statement to an officer.”
We are still unclear on what Eddit has been charged with.
ICYMI:
In April 2024, TMZ reported, “Burglars hit the home of the Real Housewives of Potomac star Dr. Wendy Osefo.” They stole some “very expensive possessions from the Bravo star.”
“We’re told the burglary took place sometime last week in Finksburg, MD. Wendy and her family were on vacation in Jamaica.”
Wendy told the tabloid, “My family and I are devastated and feel violated by this intrusion. We thank God no one was home … so for that we feel very blessed. Material things can always be replaced.”
