Real Housewives of Potomac star Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo, were arrested on Thursday, October 9, in Westminster, Maryland, on multiple fraud charges. According to TMZ, the local police say the two have a total of 16 counts against them, with seven felony charges connected to alleged false or misleading financial information involving amounts over $300.
It is a high-profile insurance claim that is under investigation after a burglary was reported at a home in Jamaica in April 2024. The couple involved stated that valuable designer handbags and jewelry had been stolen from their bedroom, sparking a police inquiry.
Investigators, however, found out that some of the items in question had actually been purchased and refunded before the alleged theft, and all the stores had already given full refunds. Court records acquired by TMZ reveal that the two sought compensation amounting to 450,000 dollars as a result of missing personal belongings from their insurance company.
This has attracted more attention as social media posts were leaked showing one of the goods, a diamond ring, in the hands of Wendy after the alleged burglary, according to TMZ.
