The Real Housewives of Potomac drama has officially spilled beyond the screen. Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon have broken their silence following the shocking arrests of their castmate Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo.
On the October 27 episode of their Reasonably Shady podcast, the longtime friends didn’t hold back their reactions. “I am highly shocked, surprised, and disappointed by these charges,” Robyn Dixon, 46, said, expressing disbelief at the news. Her cohost, Gizelle Bryant, 55, immediately echoed the sentiment, responding simply, “I’m so disappointed.”
While Dixon made sure to acknowledge that “you’re innocent until proven guilty,” she couldn’t hide her concern if the allegations prove true. “If everything in these charging documents is true, I’m highly disappointed, and then I just have so many questions, like, ‘Why?’” she said.
Bryant, meanwhile, expressed her sympathy for the Osefos’ children — Karter, 12, Kruz, 10, and Kamrynn, 6. “I feel sad for Eddie and Wendy’s children,” she shared, before wondering why the couple would risk everything for what appeared to be “materialistic” reasons.
Dixon added that the alleged crimes seemed premeditated. “‘Cause it was highly intentional, highly planned, not well thought out, but thought out,” she said. The RHOP star also pointed to a possible inconsistency between the couple’s public image and the allegations. “I saw a clip where she was kind of talking about how well [Eddie’s cannabis business] Happy Eddie is doing, so it makes me think, ‘OK, well, was that an exaggeration? Was that not the truth?’ I don’t know, but it’s also like, why? More why questions. Why did they think they could get away with this?”
Two days after the news broke, Wendy Osefo finally addressed the situation on Instagram — with a message centered on faith. “And through it all, GOD remains faithful,” she wrote. “Thank you for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers for myself and most importantly my family during this time. We are forever grateful??. Tune into @bravotv tonight for a new episode of #RHOP.”
As the Real Housewives of Potomac cast and fans alike await further developments, one thing is clear: the upcoming season is bound to be one of the most dramatic yet.
