Overview
- A Carroll County grand jury indicted Wendy Osefo on 16 counts and Eddie Osefo on 18 on Oct. 9; they spent one night in custody, posted $50,000 bonds each, and are due back in court in November.
- Prosecutors allege the couple falsely reported an April 2024 home break-in to pursue roughly $450,000 in insurance claims, citing returned-purchase records, images of Wendy wearing a ring listed as stolen, an email about reaching a $423,000 policy cap, and items later found in their home.
- Wendy issued her first public statement on Instagram thanking supporters and urging viewers to watch RHOP, while Eddie shared a family photo with a Bible verse; castmates including Stacey Rusch and Cynthia Bailey posted supportive comments.
- Bravo delayed Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition to Oct. 21 and pulled the Osefo-focused episode, while The Real Housewives of Potomac continues its current season.
- People reported Wendy resigned her visiting professorship at Wesleyan University, and outside attorneys say Eddie could face bar discipline or disbarment if convicted.
