Reality Star Wendy Osefo and Husband Eddie Hit with Shocking Fraud Charges in Maryland

Dr. Wendy Osefo, a prominent cast member of The Real Housewives of Potomac, and her husband, attorney and entrepreneur Eddie Osefo, have been arrested and charged with multiple counts of insurance fraud in Carroll County, Maryland.

The charges stem from an alleged staged burglary at their home in April 2024, during which they claimed that over $200,000 worth of luxury items, including designer handbags and jewelry, were stolen while they were on vacation in Jamaica.

Investigators discovered discrepancies in the Osefos' claims, including evidence that several of the reported stolen items had been returned for refunds prior to the alleged burglary. Additionally, Wendy Osefo was reportedly seen wearing a diamond ring that had been listed as stolen in the insurance claim. The couple is accused of attempting to defraud insurers of approximately $450,000.

Both Wendy and Eddie Osefo, both 41, have been indicted by a grand jury on multiple charges, including felony counts of insurance fraud, conspiracy, and making false statements to law enforcement. They were arrested on October 9, 2025, and released the following day after posting $50,000 bond each.

In a statement, the Osefos expressed their intention to address the allegations in court and requested privacy during the ongoing legal process. They are represented by legal counsel and are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
