Real Housewives of Potomac couple Wendy and Eddie Osefo are facing new allegations in their ongoing fraud case, with prosecutors now accusing the pair of using aliases to obtain dozens of credit and debit cards.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly and The Baltimore Banner, prosecutors claim the couple used names such as “Pam Oliver” and “Eddie Hennessy” to open or manage as many as 40 financial accounts.
The state alleges the activity was part of a “deliberate attempt to mask their identities” and demonstrate what investigators call a “pattern of excessive spending” on things such as jewelry, trips, and cosmetic surgery.
The filing was made in response to a motion Wendy, 41, submitted to quash subpoenas issued for her and her husband’s financial records.
Prosecutors argued that the documents are relevant to establishing motive, writing that insurance fraud is “a financial crime,” and that the Osefos’ alleged debt—whether joint, individual, or tied to their businesses—should be admissible evidence.
Wendy’s attorneys described the subpoenas as a “fishing expedition,” claiming the state is seeking information beyond the scope of the original case.
Eddie’s lawyer added that investigators had been pursuing the matter for 18 months without speaking to the couple, calling the approach “overly broad.”
The Osefos’ legal team—attorneys Joe Murtha, Jeremy Eldridge, and Clarissa Lindsey—issued a joint statement disputing the allegations. “The Osefos have never used an alias on any financial application; this allegation is false and misleading,” they said.
The statement added that any alternate names used for package deliveries were intended only to protect their privacy as public figures.
Their lawyers further accused authorities of mishandling the original burglary report that sparked the case. “Police failed to properly investigate the initial burglary despite clear indications of a break-in,” they wrote, calling the release of confidential financial information “deeply unjust.”
The charges stem from a 2024 incident in Jamaica, where Wendy and Eddie reported a burglary after returning from vacation. They claimed that luxury handbags and jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of dollars were missing.
Prosecutors later alleged that several items listed as stolen were found in Wendy’s possession or had already been returned to stores for refunds before the burglary report.
Both were arrested in Westminster, Maryland, on October 9, facing 16 charges—including seven felony counts of false or misleading information fraud. Their next court hearing is scheduled for December 2.
Despite the mounting scrutiny, Wendy appeared publicly at BravoCon in Las Vegas on November 14, thanking fans and costars for their support. “You know, it’s an unfortunate situation,” she said during a Real Housewives of Potomac panel. “For now, they’re just allegations, so we will continue to push forward.”
