Wendy and Eddie Osefo of “The Real Housewives of Potomac” fame actually “have very little money,” a prosecutor told a Carroll County Circuit Court judge at a contentious hearing Friday about the state’s request to access the couple’s personal and business financial records.

Last month, prosecutors claimed the Osefos have “approximately 40 credit and/or debit cards, some of which are believed to be in company names,” and have in other instances used the aliases “Pam Oliver” and “Eddie Hennessy” in a “deliberate attempt to mask their identity.”

Hockensmith amended the claims Friday, stating that investigators actually found 67 cards in four different luxury wallets, including a lambskin, black-quilted Chanel wallet that was previously reported stolen. But defense attorneys for the Osefos said some of the cards were expired or from joint accounts, and claimed that the prosecutor brought up the number of cards to “embarrass” the couple.

Wendy Osefo’s defense attorney, Jeremy Eldridge, also attacked the allegations surrounding the pseudonyms and said the couple only used the names when ordering packages. There is no evidence, he said, that the couple used the pseudonyms in banking records, adding that the state was making a “nonsensical argument” over the “innocent and innocuous” names.

“Are we supposed to take the word of the defense?” Hockensmith fired back.
