On the hit Peacock series The Traitors, a Traitor’s work is never done. Just ask Real Housewives of Potomac alum Candiace Dillard Bassett. She has been busy murdering Faithfuls and starting congo lines in the castle. Meanwhile, she is also processing the news of RHOP star Wendy Osefo’s arrest.
In October 2025, Wendy and her husband, Eddie Osefo, were arrested. They were booked on 16 counts, including fraud. The couple allegedly faked a home burglary and filed an insurance claim for a whopping $450,000 in stolen personal property. However, according to the police, these luxury items were never stolen at all.
RHOP alum Candiace Dillard Bassett gave her “immediate reaction”
In addition, it looks like Wendy will be in the hot seat during the Season 10 RHOP reunion. Host Andy Cohen didn’t hold back in the reunion trailer, asking about Dr. Wendy’s arrest. Then, Karen Huger confronted Wendy about jail.
Well, Candiace weighed in on Wendy’s plight during a visit to Watch What Happens Live. Of course, Andy had a shady game lined up. “Candiace, what was your immediate reaction when you heard the news of Wendy’s arrest?” Andy asked.
“My head spun around. I was doing a news segment when I heard. So, I was getting ready to talk about a stage play, and they were like, ‘We have breaking news. Can you talk about it?’” Candiace explained. “I’m thinking, ‘Oh, it’s going to be, you know, somebody’s shoe.” Of course, it must have been shocking to find out her friend was just busted.
Candiace exclaimed, “My friend is going to jail! Call the police! Like, what do you mean?” She added, “I was floored! Blown away.” I don’t think anyone had Wendy’s arrest on their bingo card.
“You’ve been in contact with her?” Andy asked. And Candiace replied, “I have. Yes.”
The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 10 reunion begins on Sunday, February 15 at 8/7c.
