RHOP’s Wendy Osefo & Edward Osefo Speak Out After Arrest | E! News
Real Housewives of PTOIC stars Wendy and Edward Ofo are speaking out following their arrests. Hours after the Bravo celebrities were taken into custody in Westminster, Maryland October 9th over multiple felony charges of fraud, the pair were each released on a $50,000 bond and returned home. Wendy’s rep tells E! Newews in an October 10th statement, “Dr. Wendy Oo and her husband Edward Ofo are back home safely with their family and in good spirits. They are grateful for the outpouring of concern and support from friends, fans, and colleagues. The rep adds, “The OEFOs, alongside their legal team, look forward to their day in court. At this time, they respectfully ask for privacy as they focus on their family and the legal process ahead. The day before, a Maryland grand jury indicted Wendy and Edward, both 41, on multiple felony counts of fraud. Seven for the former professor and nine for her husband. Additionally, they were each charged with eight misdemeanor counts of conspiracy fraud and one count of giving a false statement to a police officer. According to court records obtained by ENE, the Carol County Sheriff’s Office says in an October 10th statement that the charges are related to an April 2024 incident where the OEP allegedly fraudulently reported a burglary and theft at their home. The sheriff’s office shares in a statement to Facebook. Upon arrival, deputies met with the homeowners who stated they returned from vacation to find that their home had been entered and numerous items had been stolen. They reported approximately 80 items of jewelry, luxury goods, clothing, and shoes were stolen worth a total of more than $200,000. However, investigators alleged that Wendy and Edward, who share three kids together, made false claims. The statement continues, “During the investigation, detectives found that over $20,000 of the items reported stolen had been returned by the owners to the locations the items were purchased. Further, detectives found images of a homeowner wearing jewelry that had been reported stolen after the burglary took place. Additionally, Wendy and Edward allegedly claimed $450,000 in personal property loss to their insurance, according to prosecutors bail recommendation documents obtained by TMZ. Online court records show the pair are due back in court in November. [Music]

Imagine if Karen Higer sang like a bird to get her early release. One out, one in๐
Asked for privacy ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
U signed up for Reality TV ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Nevermind ๐
PRIVACY ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คญ
They both had so much going for them. Highly educated, professional careers, successful reality tv cast members, beautiful, healthy kids. Just why?!?
No denials in those released statements.
Bless the children
They have been building up a case against them since 2024โฆgot em!!!
LOCK THEM UP NOW
Absolutely pathetic
They think they the Crisleys. Nope!!๐๐
Privacy ๐ Both of you are delusional! You live above your means, at a low, to keep up with people who are in the same place as you BROKE and looking for a quick payout! You will never out run reality, so take your entitlement, your brag of degrees, your drug company, your layer husband tuck it between your legs and run away, donโt walk RUN! Donโt be like Karen and claim your innocence and get smeared in court! Bye girl, BYE!
lol…rich people problems..
They've always been off i never bought their story…. i knew somthing wasn't adding up health professionals news anchor and then candles and now drug dealers ??? It never made sense
I thought Wendy was the smartest smh they could go to prison they ain't getting out of this
I guess they didn't expect the police to investigate ๐
Pieces of crap Acting like victims
something tells me they arent the first "housewives" couple to do this. They are just the first ones to get caught…..Kyle and Dorit….who else?
Wow its gonna be wild to see how this ends…
Back home safely lol okaaaay
LOW LIFE FRAUDSTERSโฆ.
I expect nothing less from a Nigerian ๐
Too much Happy Eddie
A very neutral statement, no denying of the charges. If they arrested you and took your mugshot… you're in trouble.
The whole world is crying about Nigerians being scammers and doing all kinds of crimes, fraudulent activities and identity theftโฆ Dubai and other countries has banned Nigerian ๐ณ๐ฌ
Most countries are banning Nigerians ๐ณ๐ฌ identity theft, scammers all kinds of crimes Nigerians are always involved and cry victims ๐ฎ
I'm just happy to report I have no idea who these two fools are. ๐ช๐พ๐
A PICTURE ' AND AN AUDIO RECORDING ' FROM E NEWS ISN'T A STATEMENT ๐
I keep thinking…she's too smart to so that…there's no way she could have done that…no way
She has always acted like she was so much better than the other ladies bragging about her degrees and how much money Eddie is making in the marijuana business. So it sounds like karma to me. They are both smiling in their mugshot pictures and I canโt wait to hear her explanation about this.
โThey look forward to their day in courtโ famous last words..That GREED will get you every single time..
Indictment didn't refer to her as Dr.! She won't like that.
Whoa
Happy Eddie am so disappointed I could see your wife put you up to this๐ข.
Oh no ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ
Believe me this is not the first time they did this, they just got caught this time
Greed๐คฏ

I wonder how she was acting when she got out of jail and went home
Her degrees are probably fake too. Cons.
