According to The US Sun, authorities are alleging Wendy and Eddie lied about their 2024 home break-in, that went down in April while they were vacationing in Jamaica. The State of Maryland claims they called the cops after returning home and “they found their bedroom and both closets to be ransacked, and several designer handbags and jewelry had been stolen”, only for that to be fraudulent statements. In fact, the SO claims that Wendy was later spotted wearing one of the rings she reported stolen in a social media video!
So police are saying they were never robbed at all… and this was all just a setup?! Insane!
Prosecutors also allege a lot of the items that were reported stolen by the couple were, in fact, returned to the stores they were purchased from “where a full refund was provided prior to the alleged burglary”. This was before they were said to have claimed a $450,000 personal property loss to an insurance company.
Per TMZ, both of the RHOP stars bailed out of jail after placing a $50,000 bond each on Friday. It’s unclear when their hearing in court is scheduled for, but man, that’s a lot of charges they’re going to have to answer to!
