Police say the couple reported designer bags and jewelry stolen from their bedroom during a burglary in Jamaica in April 2024. However, the Real Housewives star was later allegedly seen wearing one of the diamond rings in a social media post.
A police investigation found that other items reported as stolen had been purchased and returned for a full refund before the alleged burglary.
According to bail recommendation documents obtained by TMZ, prosecutors allege the couple reported a $450,000 personal property loss to an insurance company.
Dr. Wendy Osefo’s Arrest Comes After a Real Housewives Co-Star was Recently Released From Prison
Their arrest comes just over a month after RHOP costar Karen Huger was released early from prison on Sept. 2. Karen had served six months after being found guilty in a March 2024 car crash and DUI arrest near Bethesda, Maryland.
Osefo recently commented on Huger’s release, an event featured in footage during RHOP‘s season 10 premiere on Oct. 5.
“I have not spoken to her since her release,” she told Deadline in an interview published Wednesday. “However, I feel like everybody should be given the opportunity to have a platform to tell their own story. There’s no point or purpose in your story being told by others.”
Osefo, a former CNN commentator with multiple college degrees, joined the cast of Real Housewives of Potomac in 2020.
