Reps for the Osefos did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment.

Wendy's legal woes are just the latest for the long-running Bravo reality TV franchise. Her and Eddie's arrest comes a month after their *RHOP* costar Karen Huger was released from prison on Sept. 2. Huger served six months in prison for a March 2024 car crash and DUI.

*The Real Housewives of New Jersey* star Teresa Giudice famously served 11 months in jail over a bank and bankruptcy fraud case. *Real Housewives of Salt Lake City* cast member Jen Shah is currently serving a 6.5-year prison sentence after she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in July 2022. Shah is set to exit prison in late 2026. **
