Phaedra Parks Has Legal Advice for Wendy Osefo Amid Alleged Fraud Mess

Phaedra Parks has some legal advice for ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ star Dr. Wendy Osefo‘s fraud case … telling TMZ a plea deal might be her best bet.

We caught up with the Phaedra — a ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ alum — in NYC on Monday, and she said Wendy needs to think of her kids first and foremost.

ICYMI … Wendy was arrested on suspicion of fraud in October alongside her husband, Eddie. They’re facing a combined 16 charges — including 7 felonies — and are expected to be tried separately.

Phaedra thinks they both need to prioritize the well-being of their three children — Karter, Kruz and Kamrynn — when weighing their legal options.

The “Traitors” star seems to believe the evidence against Wendy and Eddie is pretty damning, saying … “Here is the thing. The win for her would be to obviously be exonerated, but the evidence speaks for itself.”

Phaedra told us opting for a plea deal could be “in the best interest” of Wendy’s kids, adding … “I think the smartest thing to do is the least amount of time.”

She continued … “At the end of the day, they’re both parents. And so, you know, as a parent, your number one interest has to be the care of your children.”
