‘RHOP’ star Wendy Osefo demands fraud charges be dismissed after ‘illegal arrest’

Dr. Wendy Osefo demanded that her fraud charges be dismissed in a recent filing.

The “Real Housewives of Potomac” star, who was arrested alongside husband Eddie Osefo on Oct. 9, accused the police of an “illegal arrest” the following week, in court documents obtained by Us Weekly.

Not only did the Bravolebrity, 41, insist on Oct. 17 that there were “defects in the charging document,” but she claimed all evidence should be “suppressed because of an unlawful search or seizure.”

Wendy demanded the same of wire and verbal communications due to an allegedly “unlawful interception,” also claiming that “unlawfully obtained … admissions, statements or confessions” should not be allowed as evidence.

She requested that the “trial of co-defendants be severed from the trial[s] of this Defendant,” referencing Eddie’s charges.

In a separate filing, Wendy’s lawyer asked prosecutors for all alleged evidence, a list of witnesses, polygraph results of witnesses, the names of any confidential informants and copies of police reports.

Wendy and Eddie, 41, spent one night at Maryland’s Carroll County Detention Center earlier this month before posting a combined total bail of $100,000.

The reality star was indicted on 16 charges — seven felony counts of insurance fraud, eight misdemeanor counts of conspiracy to commit insurance fraud and one misdemeanor count of making a false statement to a police officer.

Her partner, for his part, was charged with the same, plus two more felony counts of insurance fraud.

The charges dated back to an alleged 2024 home burglary, from which the couple claimed to insurance companies they experienced $450,000 in property loss and $2,500 in property damage.

An investigation, however, has cast doubt on whether the robbery took place at all, in part due to numerous items the pair claimed were stolen being returned for refunds before the alleged burglary.

Wendy was also caught on camera wearing one of the rings she claimed was stolen.

At the time, Wendy and Eddie were “burdened by substantial debt.”

Their rep recently told Page Six Wendy and Osefo were “in good spirits” and looking “forward to their day in court.”

Wendy broke her silence via social media over the weekend.

“And through it all, GOD remains faithful,” she wrote Sunday. “Thank you for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers for myself and most importantly my family during this time. We are forever grateful🙏🏾.”

The political commentator concluded by requesting fans tune into that evening’s episode of “RHOP.”

Eddie, for his part, posted a Bible verse reading, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.’ Proverbs 3:5-6.”
