Andy Cohen Calls ‘RHOP’s Wendy Osefo a Role Model Despite Fraud Charges

Wendy Osefo Is a ‘Role Model’
… I’m ‘Surprised as Anybody’ by Fraud Charges

Andy Cohen is staying in “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Dr. Wendy Osefo‘s corner despite her 16 criminal charges … he had an encouraging message for her when he chatted with TMZ Thursday in New York.
The “RHOP” executive producer tells us … “I love her and I love her family and I love Eddie. I am hoping that they come out of this really well. I think she’s been a really great role model housewife. She’s always led with her education and family values, and I was as surprised as anybody was when I woke up to the TMZ news.”
As you know … Wendy and husband Eddie were booked on fraud charges last week, stemming from an alleged burglary they reported in April last year … the couple claimed they found their bedroom ransacked after returning from a trip to Jamaica. But here’s the thing … county sheriff’s deputies allege Wendy was later seen in a social media post wearing a diamond ring she reported stolen.
Wendy might have been the last person expected to be involved in something like this, considering her degrees from Temple University and Johns Hopkins, and her Ph.D. in public affairs and community development from Rutgers … not to mention her distinguished teaching job at Wesleyan University — a position she no longer holds.
While ‘The Real Housewives’ franchise is known for following salacious storylines, when asked if any of this will show up on the reality show, Andy said … “I think that she is doing her own thing.”
Andy told us he hasn’t spoken to Wendy or any of her family since the news.
With the massive information dump of the Epstein Files from the DOJ Friday, we’re getting a close look at the various high-powered figures who surrounded the disgraced financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein … including former presidents.
Bill Clinton is seen in a few new pics … he’s reclining in a hot tub with another person, whose face is obscured by a black box. Another pic shows the former president sitting in what appears to be the cabin of an airplane, with a young-looking female sitting on his lap with her arm around his shoulder.
As you know, the U.S. Dept. of Justice began releasing the long-awaited Epstein Files on Friday, the final day of a 30-day period the agency was compelled by Congress to produce all materials related to the investigation of Epstein — with victims’ identities and details redacted.
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in 2008 on state charges in Florida of soliciting the prostitution of a minor in a plea deal and served a year in prison. In 2019, he was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors. While awaiting trial in New York City, he killed himself in his cell.
Donald Trump, Clinton and Bill Gates are among many high-profile politicians, entertainers, business titans, academics and other powerful international figures known to have been close associates of Epstein. Trump downplayed the importance of releasing the files this year — despite making campaign promises to open up the investigation — even saying he didn’t want support from anyone who was demanding more about the case.
Never-before-seen photos show late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his element … snuggling up to a very young-looking female on a sofa.
The images are from the Epstein Files being released by the U.S. Department of Justice … and there are several photos showing Epstein cozying up to an unidentified female on a couch … it’s unclear if she’s underage.
Epstein has his arms around her, and they are horizontal, side by side on a couch … wearing clothes. Her face has been redacted to protect her identity, indicating the government considers her a victim.
There are 10 photos of the convicted pedo and this young female … and Epstein looks like he’s enjoying himself.

TMZ is digging through the thousands of documents released Friday … and these are some of the most disgusting images we’ve seen so far … but it may just be the tip of the iceberg.
We’ve seen lots of other creepy Epstein photos leading up to Friday’s document dump, but this may be the creepiest yet.
Calories don’t take days off, and neither does Ana de Armas … she was snapped with her waist looking snatched while heading to a gym Friday in Los Angeles.
The “Knives Out” star couldn’t have been any cuter … She carried a Louis Vuitton monogram fortune cookie charm and wore a pink crop top with black leggings and New Balance sneakers.
The Oscar-nominated actress is rumored to have split from Tom Cruise earlier this year. If they did break up, her revenge bod game is on fleek!
