Dr. Wendy Osefo, a lady who by no means misses a second to remind us of her 4 levels, simply added one other headline to her résumé, and this one’s not from MSNBC.
TMZ broke the story that The Actual Housewives of Potomac star and her husband, Eddie Osefo, have been booked on felony fraud expenses this week, and truthfully, the one factor extra stunning than the 16-count cost sheet is Wendy’s ear-to-ear grin in her mugshot. Woman posed like she was auditioning for a toothpaste advert, not getting booked on the county jail.
In keeping with paperwork obtained by TMZ, The Actual Housewives of Potomac star is going through 16 expenses — together with 7 felonies, tied to insurance coverage fraud stemming from a 2023 housebreaking report that’s now being known as into query. Let’s simply say… somebody’s storyline simply acquired actual.
The fees embrace “making false/deceptive data fraud in extra of $300” and “making a false assertion to an officer.” Wendy and Eddie have been reportedly booked Thursday night time in Westminster, Maryland — simply in time for the lengthy weekend.
Right here’s the place it will get messy.
Police say the couple claimed their bed room was “ransacked” after getting back from a visit to Jamaica in April 2023, alleging that a number of designer luggage and jewellery have been stolen. However then got here the receipts. Actually.
In keeping with prosecutors’ bail docs, Wendy “was later seen in a social media publish carrying a diamond ring she reported stolen.” You learn that proper — the girl went full Instagram flex with proof. Not solely that, however the investigation discovered that “quite a few objects the Osefos claimed have been stolen had been bought, then returned to the shop ‘the place a full refund was supplied previous to the alleged housebreaking’.” So we’re speaking about returned merch and pretend loss claims, all tied up in a $450,000 insurance coverage declare.
Sure, $450,000. Half 1,000,000 {dollars} in “stolen” objects, that apparently…weren’t stolen in any respect.
Wendy, who joined RHOP in Season 5 and teaches at Johns Hopkins (at the very least till this semester?), has lengthy touted her educational credentials and political commentary profession. However let’s simply say this sort of real-world case research wasn’t a part of the syllabus.
And that mugshot? Let’s discuss it. Wendy posed prefer it was a press tour, not a police lineup. All smiles, no disgrace, as a result of apparently, being booked on felony expenses is simply one other photograph op. We haven’t seen a Housewives mugshot this assured since Luann de Lesseps instructed officers, “Don’t contact me, I’m a Housewife!”
