Wendy Osefo and Edward Osefo have spoken out following their arrests.
Hours after the Real Housewives of Potomac stars were taken into custody in Westminster, Md., Oct. 9 over multiple felony charges of fraud, the pair were each released on a $50,000 bond and returned home.
“Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband, Edward Osefo, are back home safely with their family and in good spirits,” Wendy’s rep told E! News in an Oct. 10 statement. “They are grateful for the outpouring of concern and support from friends, fans and colleagues.”
The rep added, “The Osefos, alongside their legal team, look forward to their day in court. At this time, they respectfully ask for privacy as they focus on their family and the legal process ahead.”
The day before, a Maryland grand jury indicted Wendy and Edward, both 41, on multiple felony counts of fraud—seven for the former professor and nine for her husband. Additionally, they were each charged with eight misdemeanor counts of conspiracy fraud and one count of giving a false statement to a police officer, according to court records obtained by E! News.
