RHOP’s Wendy Osefo and Husband Indicted, Arrested on Insurance Fraud Charges

A grand jury acted after a 2024 burglary report that investigators say was undermined by refunds, insurance records, social posts, plus items seized in a home search.

Overview

  • Wendy Osefo faces 16 counts and Eddie Osefo faces 18 counts tied to alleged false burglary and insurance claims in Carroll County, Maryland.
  • The couple were booked in Westminster after warrants were executed, then released following $50,000 bonds each, with no court date publicly set.
  • Detectives say over $20,000 in items listed as stolen had been returned for refunds before the reported April 2024 break‑in.
  • Court filings describe photos showing Wendy wearing a ring later claimed stolen, an email seeking to push listed losses toward a $423,000 policy maximum, plus a search that recovered at least 15 claimed items.
  • Records cited by prosecutors include an initial Travelers claim settled for $25,380, followed by additional assertions to other insurers and an interview that omitted the prior payout.
