Real Housewives of Potomac‘s Wendy Osefo posted a joint statement with her husband, Eddie Osefo, denouncing the claim that they have 40 credit cards under their names and aliases.
Wendy and Eddie’s defense:
“Police failed to properly investigate the initial burglary despite clear indications of a break-in. [Thus,] displaying clear bias against the Osefo family,” penned the couple’s legal team.
“It is common knowledge that other Real Housewives cast members have also been victimized after documenting their travel on social media. Yet none of them faced this level of scrutiny or criminal charges.”
They believe it is “deeply unjust” that their confidential financial information was released for public consumption. It serves “no lawful purpose and only invites conclusory opinions about a case the State is obviously still investigating.”
Re: the claims made about Wendy using an alias …
“The Osefos have never used an alias on any financial application. This allegation is false and misleading.”
Wendy used an alias for packages “following their lawful purchase” to “safeguard the identity of very public figures.”
Team Osefo concluded that the public was misled with a “false narrative.”

ICYMI:
Over a month ago, Wendy and Eddie were booked and released hours later on bail for felony fraud 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.”
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 taken.
