Overview
- Grand jury indictments on October 9 charged Wendy and Eddie Osefo with insurance fraud, conspiracy, and making a false statement to police, and both were released on $50,000 bonds.
- Prosecutors say the April 2024 burglary report was staged, citing security footage showing no motion and the recovery of at least 15 items the couple had claimed as stolen.
- Wendy filed motions on October 17 to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, and sever her case; Eddie later retained high-profile attorney Joseph Murtha, who filed similar motions and requested a witness list.
- Immigration sources reported no ICE detainers for the Nigerian-born, reportedly naturalized couple, and experts said any removal action would typically follow a criminal conviction and subsequent review.
- RHOP co-stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon publicly expressed disappointment on their podcast while noting the presumption of innocence and questioning the motives alleged in charging documents.
