On October 9, 2025, reality TV personality Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband, attorney Eddie Osefo, were taken into custody in Westminster, Maryland. The couple, known for their appearances on The Real Housewives of Potomac, now faces serious legal trouble.
- Police charged the Osefos with 16 counts, including seven felonies, for allegedly providing false or misleading information to an insurance company over items worth more than 300 dollars.
- Investigators say the couple claimed designer bags and jewelry were stolen during an April 2024 burglary in Jamaica. Evidence later showed some of those items were purchased and returned for refunds, and a diamond ring reported stolen reappeared in a social media post.
- Prosecutors allege the couple filed a claim for a 450,000 dollar personal property loss.
- Dr. Osefo, 41, joined RHOP in its fifth season and is slated to appear in a new Bravo series, Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition, premiering October 14. She and Eddie share three children and recently celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary.
- As of this writing, representatives for both the Osefos and Bravo have not commented on the charges.
This case highlights the serious legal consequences of insurance fraud at a time when the couple was preparing to return to television.
