In news that can only be described as shocking and unfortunate, “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Dr. Wendy Osefo revealed that her home was burglarized while on family vacation in Jamaica.
According to TMZ, who first reported the news, thieves allegedly stole “majority of her designer bags, including a few Birkin bags” and a “large amount” of Osefo’s jewelry. Per a spokesperson for the Carroll County Sheriff’s office, the theft was reported on Sunday no further details have been made available due to this being an ongoing investigation.
“My family and I are devastated and feel violated by this intrusion. We thank God no one was home…so for that we feel very blessed. Material things can always be replaced,” Dr. Osefo said in a statement to TMZ. News of the celeb home robberies have seemingly been on an uptick. Last summer, both “Snowfall” star Damson Idris and Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles were both victims of that crime.
However, despite the sad news, it doesn’t look it has put too much of a damper on the “RHOP” star and author as she recently posted a celebratory post to Instagram highlighting her eldest son Karter, who recently turned 11 on Thursday.
“We OFFICIALLY have a PRE-TEEN!!!,” she captioned in her post in part. “Screaming Happy 11th Birthday to my baby Karter!! The little boy who made me a mom and taught me the definition of unconditional love, today we celebrate you.”
Now, see that’s the kind of good news we like to hear! As Dr. Osefo said—materials can be replaced but family and the ones you love and care for the most are what’s going to last forever.
