RHOP Star Wendy Osefo and Husband Indicted on Insurance Fraud Charges
19 Oct
Summary
- Wendy Osefo and husband Edward Osefo indicted on insurance fraud charges
- Couple claimed $450,000 in stolen items after alleged home burglary in 2024
- Investigation found at least 15 items claimed stolen were actually in their home

Reality TV personality Wendy Osefo and her husband Edward are facing serious legal troubles. According to court documents, the couple was indicted earlier this month on charges of insurance fraud, conspiracy insurance fraud, and making false statements to police officers.
The charges stem from an alleged burglary at the Osefo's home in 2024. After returning from a trip to Jamaica, Wendy and Edward claimed several designer bags and pieces of jewelry worth $450,000 had been stolen. However, an investigation by authorities found that at least 15 of the "stolen" items were actually still in the couple's possession.
Wendy has since spoken out, thanking fans for their "outpouring of love, support, and prayers" during this difficult time. She and Edward were booked in Westminster, Maryland, and released the following day after posting $50,000 bond each. The Osefo's legal team says they look forward to their "day in court" and are focused on their family and the legal process ahead.
This is not the first time the Osefo's have faced scrutiny. In 2024, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office responded to a reported burglary at their home, but found evidence that raised questions about the legitimacy of the claims. Authorities reportedly discovered the couple was "burdened by substantial debt" at the time.
