Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP) star Wendy Osefo has left her role as professor at Wesleyan University after allegedly faking a home burglary. While initial reports suggested she was fired a spokesperson for the reality star said she resigned amid the scandal. “Contrary to recent media reports, Dr. Wendy Osefo was not terminated from a faculty position at Wesleyan University,” said Osefo’s spokesperson. “She formally submitted her letter of resignation prior to any public announcement made by the university... This decision was made independently and communicated directly to the university before any external reports surfaced.” The 41-year-old reality star was teaching a sociology course called “The Sociology of Reality TV: Race, Colorism, and Xenophobia,” after joining the academic institution in 2024. Dr. Wendy, who joined the RHOP cast in 2020 for the show’s fifth season, was indicted on fraud charges last week alongside her husband, Edward Osefo, for allegedly falsely claiming her $1 million house had been ransacked while on vacation. But after Wendy posted a photo on Instagram wearing a diamond ring that was allegedly reported as stolen, Carroll County police made the arrest. The couple face a total of 34 felony and misdemeanor charges including conspiracy to commit insurance fraud and making false statements to the police. “It was a shock,” said Dr. Wendy’s teaching assistant Mariah Wilson to The Wesleyan Argus, the school’s paper. “Having taken her class last fall, I didn’t expect it.”
