Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband Eddie have been booked on criminal fraud charges, TMZ has learned.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star is facing 16 charges — including 7 felonies, for allegedly making false/misleading info fraud in excess of $300. She’s also facing one misdemeanor count of making a false statement to an officer.

The couple was booked Thursday night in Westminster, Maryland.

Here’s the deal … police say the couple reported a burglary in April last year … the couple claimed they found their bedroom ransacked after returning from a trip to Jamaica. We told you about that incident at the time.

Wendy Osefo has been on the show since Season 5 … she was a college professor of education — she taught at Johns Hopkins University before resigning in 2024 — and a contributor to The Hill and MSNBC. She has degrees from Temple University and Johns Hopkins, and a Ph.D. in public affairs and community development from Rutgers.

We just saw Wendy out and about on Sunday at a CultureCon event in Brooklyn, New York.

Wendy was tight with Kamala Harris during the former VP’s run for president last year … the two are members of the same sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha.
