RHOP's Wendy Osefo Requests Separate Trial From Husband Eddie as Her Strategy Rings Similar to That of Karen Huger, Who Attempted to Have Her DUI Case Dismissed Last Year Due to Legal Technicality

Wendy Osefo wants a separate trial from her husband, Eddie Osefo, as they face charges, including insurance fraud, conspiracy fraud, and making a false statement to a police officer.

As the 41-year-old Real Housewives of Potomac star takes an approach similar to that of Karen Huger, 62, who fought back against a DUI charge in 2024, she wants to keep her defense separate from that of Eddie, 41, after being accused of staging a fake robbery at their home in April 2024.

Wendy asked that the “trial of co-defendants be severed from the trial(s) of this Defendant,” court documents obtained by Us Weekly explained on October 22.

According to the report, Eddie does not currently have a lawyer listed in his case. So, while Wendy has attempted to have the case against her dismissed, claiming that her arrest was “illegal,” it is not yet clear what Eddie’s strategy will be.

Also in Wendy’s court papers, she and her legal team requested that all charges be thrown out due to alleged “defects in the charging document” and asked that all evidence be “suppressed because of an unlawful search or seizure.”

Oddly, exactly one year before Us Weekly reported on Wendy’s approach, PEOPLE shared news that Karen, who ultimately spent six months behind bars for DUI, had requested a court dismiss the charge, also citing a legal technicality.

According to Karen’s attorney at that time, the reality star allegedly incriminated herself during an interrogation before being read her Miranda rights.

“The evidence seized in this case was obtained as a result of an illegal search and seizure,” the lawyer stated. “The defendant was told she was not free to leave. She was not read her Miranda warnings, indicating that the information she would provide them would be used in the filing of criminal charges against her.”

Online, Wendy’s similar strategy didn’t go unnoticed, with Queens of Bravo writing, “No shade, but I’ve seen this before…”

The Real Housewives of Potomac season 10 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
