Phaedra Parks Says Wendy Osefo Should Take A Plea Deal In Fraud Case
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Phaedra Parks has broken her silence on “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Wendy Osefo and her ongoing fraud case.
While Parks, an attorney to the stars, said that she couldn’t say much about the case and Wendy Osefo’s charges, she did imply that wrapping things up as soon as possible would be in her best interest.
Phaedra Parks Breaks Silence On Wendy Osefo’s Ongoing Legal Woes, Implies The Mother Of Three Should Take A Plea Deal
Speaking with TMZ, Parks, a practicing lawyer and veteran reality star, said that Wendy’s primary concern at this moment should be her minor children, Karter, Kruz, and Kamrynn.
Parks went on to say that she couldn’t offer much legal advice to Wendy and her husband, Eddie Osefo, because she hadn’t seen the indictment.
She added, however, “Here is the thing. The win for her would be to obviously be exonerated, but the evidence speaks for itself.”
When asked whether Wendy, a former political commentator and university professor, should take a plea deal, Parks didn’t mince her words.
“I think the smartest thing to do is the least amount of time,” she said. “At the end of the day, they’re both parents. And so, you know, as a parent, your number one interest has to be the care of your children.”
Wendy Osefo Opens Up About Her Ongoing Fraud Case At BravoCon 2025
For those who may be unfamiliar, Wendy and her husband, Eddie, were arrested in the late hours of October 9, 2025.
According to The Blast, the pair were hit with various fraud charges stemming from a reported burglary in April 2024 that prosecutors claim never happened.
In the legal documents, authorities alleged Wendy and Eddie staged a burglary, reported it to police, and later filed insurance claims for pricey items that were never actually stolen.
And the madness doesn’t end there. Investigators also claimed that Wendy and Eddie filed claims on items that had already been returned to stores years prior.
If convicted, both Wendy and Eddie could spend up to 15 years behind bars.
At BravoCon 2025, Wendy got candid about the case, admitting that while she can’t respond to the fans, she noticed their support.
“You know, it’s an unfortunate situation, and right now I can’t say too much, but I will say when the time is right, I will share my story with everyone, and for now they’re just allegations, so we will continue to push forward,” she said.
Wendy Osefo Gets Legal Advice From Karen Huger During The ‘Real Housewives Of Potomac’ Reunion
Wendy shared a few more details about her arrest and ongoing legal case with Andy Cohen at the “Real Housewives of Potomac” reunion, according to The Blast.
One of the show’s OGs, Karen Huger, wasn’t pleased with Wendy sharing the intimate details and offered her co-star a bit of legal advice.
“I just told you to shut the f-ck up,” Huger said. “I took it out of context because I didn’t want you to do what you just did. I wouldn’t have answered anything on this stage today.”
Huger was released from federal prison in September 2025 after being convicted of driving under the influence a year prior.
“You’re talking too much, Wendy. I’m begging you to stop talking. I do not want you to go to jail,” Huger added. “Take it from the Karen you used to like, how about that? Because when you talk, they watch, OK? They hear you. And so, I would have said, ‘Respectfully, Andy, I can’t answer those questions right now.’”
Update In Wendy And Eddie’s Case
Wendy and Eddie’s case is still moving through the court system, but it was reported in early March 2026 that the pair would be tried separately after months of back-and-forth.
“Smart decision,” a fan wrote on social media about the decision. “At least the kids will have one of their parents while the other serve time.”
“She’s doing time either way, but I think they’re going to let him take the brunt of it so she gets a little less time,” another user wrote.
Wendy Admits To Thinking About ‘Consequences’ Later
Amid her arrest, Wendy and her husband starred in an episode of Bravo’s “Wife Swap” spin-off. While promoting the series, Wendy revealed what led her to sign up for the show in the first place and shared a shocking proclamation that left some viewers stunned.
“I’m one of those people where I jump into things headfirst, then think about the consequences later,” she said. “I was like, ‘This will be great!’ I can look back on this when I’m 90 years old and say, ‘Look what I did!’ But my husband [Eddie Osefo] had more questions. He was like, ‘Wait, what is this? What are we doing? How long is this?’ It was a mixed bag. But we talked through it. Then it all made sense and we decided, ‘Hey, why not?’”

Twenty-three years’ worth of content of a singular project is a lot to keep up with. Some take on the task and catch up at a terrifyingly fast rate, while some have enjoyed the slow build, watching the growth over time. For NCIS fans, any combination is possible. The series is now in its 23rd season, and with that also comes the milestone of 500 episodes. The series has had multiple iterations of the Major Crime Response Team, and is even bringing one member back as the show crosses the milestone. This week, as NCIS celebrates such a momentous milestone, we are looking back at those 23 years as part of our retrospective Collider Rewind series, as Maggie Lovittcatches up with the cast and crew.
As new actors have joined the series over the years, it’s not necessarily a requirement that each new addition be well-versed in the two decades of the show’s history. After the exit of Pauley Perrette, who played Abby Scuito from NCIS‘ earliest days, in came Diona Reasonover as the team’s new forensic scientist, Kasie Hines. For Reasonover, becoming a regular in Season 16 came first, and her admiration for the already long-running procedural followed after. She told Lovitt:
“I actually joined and then became a fan. Not only have I brought myself into the fandom, but I’ve also gotten my wife into the fandom and my mom and my extended family into the fandom, which is great.”
Reasonover caveats her excitement with the fact that “whenever NCIS is on in real life, I’m not allowed to talk. I have this fantasy that we’d be watching the episodes, and I’d be pointing out like, ‘Oh, this camera angle came up because the director did it, or the writers suggested X, Y, and Z,’ but instead my family is just like, ‘Could you not talk? You’re interrupting my show.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m on that.’ They’re like, ‘Yeah, we can talk to you any time.’”

Diona Reasonover Credits “The Fans” for Huge ‘NCIS’ Milestone
What keeps a show going for 23 years and counting, though? There are many things: the studio’s commitment to the show, the cast, the writers, the crew, the list goes on. NCIS is consistently in Paramount+’s Top 10 on the streamer, showing its continued watchability outside of people tuning in every Monday night for a new episode. It’s also supported by spin-offs such as NCIS: Origins that take fans back to the days when the Naval Criminal Investigative Service was simply called the NIS. It’s those same fans, tuning in eagerly to see the “origins” of their beloved franchise, that have carried it from the beginning. Reasonover shares big props to them, along with those behind the scenes, for getting NCIS to the 500-episode milestone:
“It really is the fans. I can’t give credit to anyone but the producers, the writers, and the fans. Really and truly, they are keeping it alive. Every time they send us theories, or they’re DMing me, like, ‘Is such-and-such coming back?’ I know that they’re tuned in, and hey, thank you. Thank you for watching, and thank you for making this show great, amazing. Thank you for making this such a cool vehicle to be a part of.”
The 500th episode of NCIS will be available to stream on Paramount+, and new episodes arrive every Monday on CBS. Stay with Collider for the latest updates and more from Collider Rewind.

Desiigner, whose real name is Sidney Royel Selby III, was reportedly arrested in South Carolina, and his mugshot has left social media users stunned.

More On Desiigner, A.K.A. Sidney Royel Selby III, Arrested In South Carolina
On Wednesday, March 25, The Shade Room learned that Desiigner was taken into custody in Horry County, South Carolina, on the evening of Monday, March 23. Furthermore, Desiigner was reportedly brought in on domestic violence charges. Then, by Tuesday, March 24, he was reportedly released.
At this time, details of his arrest remain unknown.
Desiigner’s Mugshot Has Social Media Users Stunned
Social media users began reacting to Sidney Royel Selby III, a.k.a. Desiigner’s mugshot in TSR’s comment section.
Instagram user @shulerking wrote, “Lord. I’m from Sumter SC. He looks just like some of my people. 3rd shift plant worker. Gotta get it together bro.”
While Instagram user @samhoward0812 added, “bro fell off so bad wtf 😭”
Instagram user @sapphireblazee wrote, “UNT UNT CHILE THIS MIGHT BE OFF BRAND CAUSE IT DXMN SURE AINT DESIIGNER”

Instagram user @twelve33shop wrote, “Man i thought this was TRICK DADDY😩”
While Instagram user @shay_vain added, “28?!”
Instagram user @lovebeingteka wrote, “Mistaken identity? Because this ain’t him 😭”
More On Sidney Royel Selby III’s Previous Viral Arrest
As The Shade Room previously reported, in April 2023, Desiigner made headlines for speaking out after exposing himself during an international flight. At the time, he explained that he had been struggling with his mental health for “months.”
“While overseas for a concert I performed at, I had to be admitted to a hospital, I was not thinking clearly. They gave me meds and I had to hop on a plane ride home,” he posted on social media at the time. “I am ashamed of my actions that happened on that plane. I landed back to the States and am admitting myself in a facility to help me…”
Later that month, Desiigner was charged with indecent exposure. By September of that year, the charge was reportedly lowered to a federal misdemeanor. Then, the following year, Sidney Royel Selby III reflected on the incident, per The Shade Room.
In 2025, Desiigner reportedly welcomed a baby with a woman named Joyce Bryant. At this time, the status of their relationship remains unclear.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Since starring in The Dark Knight Rises as Bane over 10 years ago, Tom Hardy has maintained his status as one of the biggest action stars in the world. Before that, he worked with Christopher Nolan on the mind-bending sci-fi epic, Inception, which has charged back onto streaming charts around the world, solidifying its status as one of the all-time great sci-fi movies. Hardy returned to the sci-fi genre in 2015 with his critically acclaimed blockbuster, Mad Max: Fury Road, which co-stars Charlize Theron, and he’s since starred in three Venom movies that have grossed over $1.5 billion at the box office. Hardy has plenty of notable movie roles, but many would argue that his most powerful TV performance is playing Alfie Solomons in 13 episodes of Peaky Blinders, the hit crime thriller series starring Cillian Murphy.
Hardy’s Alfie Solomons is sometimes an ally to Tommy Shelby, and others a thorn in his side. They seemingly conclude their business at the end of Season 4 when Tommy delivers a bullet to Alfie’s face. It’s later revealed that this didn’t kill Alfie when he returns with a brutal scar on his cheek. Four years after going off the air, Peaky Blinders officially returned last weekend with a sequel film, The Immortal Man. Mere days before the premiere, as fans around the world were questioning Hardy’s potential return as Alfie Solomons, it was revealed that he would not have a part to play in the film. Series creator and film writer Steven Knight recently sat down for an interview, though, and he revealed there was once a plan for Hardy to appear in the film that was ultimately scrapped:
“I had an idea, which I haven’t really spoken about. Ever since he was shot on the beach at Margate, you’ve only ever seen Tommy and Alfie together alone. I thought, maybe Alfie appears, and we realize he’s been dead all that time. Now, I nearly did that, and I didn’t do that, but that was thought.”

What Does This Mean for ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’?
Steven Knight’s comments about Tom Hardy’s almost-return in The Immortal Man confirms that there were at least talks of having Alfie make an appearance. The film has already been quite controversial, though, mostly due to its ending, and this would have only further driven a wedge between fans learning that Alfie was dead the whole time. Still, despite the mixed response from long-time Peaky Blinders fans, the film is having no trouble reaching the top of the streaming charts.
Check out The Immortal Man and all six seasons of Peaky Blinders on Netflix and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the franchise.

If there’s one person who consistently delivers that impossibly sleek, expensive-looking beauty vibe, it’s Amal Clooney. Whether she’s stepping out on a red carpet or a gala, her hair always looks glossy, smooth and totally rich. It’s the kind of shine that makes Us do a double-take, and wonder what she’s using.

Translation: instead of your hair puffing up or falling flat, it dries into that sleek, glassy finish that instantly looks salon-worthy.
Taylor Swift has a way of making even the simplest accessories feel instantly chic. While the singer is famous for her glittering stage outfits, her everyday jewelry tends to be far more understated. One of those quietly polished staples? A sparkly yet subtle pendant necklace — and it’s currently on sale. The piece we’re talking […]
It’s also the reason her shine always looks impossibly perfect. Once activated, the formula helps “waterproof” your hair against humidity, keeping frizz at bay while locking in that ultra-smooth, reflective texture. The result?

One user said it gives them “rich lady hair” with “angel-like softness,” while another reviewer called it a “magical elixir” that “controls frizz” better than anything they’ve tried.
If you’ve been chasing that ultra-sleek, expensive-looking hair Clooney is known for, this shine spray is a swap that makes all the difference. It’s the kind of easy upgrade that instantly makes your hair look more polished. For $30 on Amazon, it’s well worth the add-to-cart.

Whether it’s in a dystopian future with a community trapped inside a large silo, or on Earth as it is visited by an alien species, or inside the labyrinthine corridors and strange rooms of Lumon Industries, Apple TV has delivered some of the very best modern sci-fi available on streaming in the past five years. Not a streamer ready to rest on its laurels, Apple TV recently debuted the long-awaited second season of a monster-sized sci-fi hit from 2023: Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
Returning on February 27, the second season is now four episodes in and continues to impress, as the MonsterVerse franchise evolves into an unstoppable hit. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, a “certified fresh” rating of 79% marks a small decrease from the incredible first installment, but most are still full of praise for one of Apple TV’s most ambitious series. The critics’ consensus on the site for Season 2 reads, “Against all odds, Monarch continues to pack a striking gut-punch of action-drama by embracing its Legacy of Monsters‘ talent and leading with a cast of rich and complex characters.”
Starring father-son duo Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell, Pachinko star Anna Sawai, Flatliners‘ Kiersey Clemons, and more, Season 2 is going from strength to strength as each episode passes, with the upcoming Episode 5, “Furusato,” sure to be an unmissable halfway point in this gripping second season. A synopsis for the upcoming episode reads, “In Santa Soledad, Titan X becomes a target for Apex, forcing Shaw and the Randas to infiltrate the covert experiment.”

Amanda Peet is opening up about how she shared news of her breast cancer diagnosis with her three children.
The actress, 54, shares daughters Frances, 19, and Molly, 15, and son Henry, 11, with her husband, Game of Thrones cocreator David Benioff.
“They’ve been great. I definitely had to get myself together before including them,” Peet told E! News in an interview published on Tuesday, March 24.
She added, “The hard part was realizing that nothing is certain and there was going to be no perfect time to tell them.”
Many celebrities have spoken out about their personal battles with breast cancer over the years. Julia Louis-Dreyfus went public with her breast cancer diagnosis in September 2017 via Instagram. Nearly one year later, she had successfully beaten the illness and returned to work on Veep. “It sounds kind of corny, but there’s something about after […]
Peet first revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in an emotional essay for The New Yorker published on Saturday, March 21, noting that she got the news “last fall.”
“For many years, I’ve been told that I have ‘dense’ and ‘busy’ breasts — not as a compliment but as a warning that they require extra monitoring,” the Your Friends & Neighbors actress wrote. “I had been seeing a breast surgeon every six months for checkups. The Friday before Labor Day, I went for what I thought would be a routine scan.”
After undergoing a biopsy, Peet learned that she had stage I cancer, which was hormone-receptor-positive and HER2-negative. According to the Mayo Clinic, this is the most common type of breast cancer.
“I was happier than I’d been pre-diagnosis, when I was just a regular person who didn’t have cancer,” Peet wrote. “But after about 10 minutes, I remembered that I still needed the MRI and regressed to baseline terror. [My doctor,] Dr. K., said that the radiologist would check my lymph nodes, as well as ‘the left side for any surprise findings’ and call with the results within a week. It was dawning on me that cancer diagnoses come in a slow drip.”
Sarah Paulson is in awe of how her longtime friend Amanda Peet summarized her recent cancer battle. “My best friend, Amanda Peet … has written the most profoundly gorgeous essay about the loss of her parents, while dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis,” Paulson, 51, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, March 21. “@newyorkermag has published […]
Peet’s medical team found a second benign mass in her breast, which required a lumpectomy and radiation treatment, she said.
Peet was being treated for cancer while both of her parents were in hospice care. Her mother died in January as the actress received her “first clear scan.”
“The morphine was taking forever to kick in, and she was looking at the ceiling and whimpering, so I climbed onto her rented hospital bed to get in her line of vision,” Peet wrote of her final moments with her mom. “We locked eyes and she quieted down, and then she and I continued to stare at each other for what felt like several minutes.”
“I wasn’t sure whether my mom knew that she was looking at me or whether I was just a constellation of interesting, disembodied shapes. I said, ‘Howdy doodle’ — that’s how she often greeted me. But then I realized that she was communing without words, and I followed suit. Time was running out, and, besides, I had already told her everything,” she said.

Netflix’s Next Big Action Thriller Pushes Charlize Theron to the Edge in Pulse-Pounding New Trailer
It’s been a big start to the year for Netflix, the streaming service that got the ball rolling with the first great crime thriller of 2026 in The Rip. The film stars Matt Damon opposite his long-time collaborator Ben Affleck, and it spent weeks atop streaming charts before finally giving up its crown to newer arrivals. A few weeks ago, Netflix planted its flag in the sci-fi genre with its newest release, War Machine. On the back of Reacher star Alan Ritchson, along with other cast members like Dennis Quaid and Esai Morales, War Machine has overtaken The Rip to become the biggest Netflix movie of 2026. Ritchson and director Patrick Hughes have confirmed that there have been talks of a War Machine sequel, but it will likely be a few years before it begins streaming.
Netflix’s next big action movie is set to release in less than one month, and it’s a bit different from both The Rip and War Machine. The streamer will launch Apex worldwide on April 24, with stars Taron Egerton and Charlize Theron in leading roles. Theron stars in Apex as a grieving woman seeking solace in the Australian wilderness, only to find herself in a white-knuckle fight for her life against a ruthless predator. Netflix has released the official trailer for Apex this morning, showing off what are sure to be some of the most intense action sequences you’ll see all year. The film was shot on location in New South Wales, even in the Blue Mountains, meaning that everything you see in the trailer and what will inevitably end up in the final product was as dangerous to shoot as it looks.

Apex was directed by Baltasar Kormakur, and as part of our Exclusive Preview Event earlier this month, we had a chance to speak with the director about the film and even debut a new image. When asked what drew Kormakur to directing a project like Apex, he highlighted the “simplicity of the story and the idea of this person going through a self-inflicted trauma.” He also spoke about what it was like working with Taron Egerton, who is playing a villain role in Apex — something fans aren’t exactly used to. His full quote on Egerton’s casting reads as follows:
“What I loved about the casting of Taron, it was a bit of a process for me to find that he’s very unexpected in this role. It’s very different from what he’s done. And also, he took on a character that wasn’t in the script. It’s something more that we created to find out a different approach to a personality like this, and I love that it’s a bit of, you take a chance, and you don’t know what the outcome is going to be. But I’m really happy with what he brought to the table, and a lot of great ideas and things that we shaped together.”
Check out the official trailer for Apex above and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the film.

Season 17 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is set to premiere on April 5, featuring newbie Pinky Cole, who gained fame as the founder of the fast-food empire Slutty Vegan. Now, ahead of the season, “RHOA” legend Phaedra Parks is reacting to the newbie’s recent bankruptcy filing and teasing the show, saying its reminiscent of classic “Housewives.”
Phaedra Parks Shades ‘RHOA’ Newbie Pinky Cole
Parks appeared on Page Six Radio on March 24 to discuss season 17 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” During the discussion, the topic of Cole came up after the hosts noted that Parks and Cole had known each other for several years.
However, after being asked whether she had previously believed the Slutty Vegan founder would make “an amazing housewife,” Parks said, “Um, no,” noting that they only knew one another professionally, since Cole had worked in television production.
After that, the host asked if it was fun getting to know Cole on a personal level, to which the RHOA legend said, “Well, it was interesting. I mean, Pinky, she’s very chatty.” Then her recent bankruptcy filing was mentioned, along with how she has defended it publicly, essentially saying it’s not a big deal.
This led Parks to deliver one of her iconic facial expressions before asking the hosts, “Are you filing for bankruptcy? I don’t know if that’s a right of passage. I’ve been in business for over 20 years, I’ve never filed for bankruptcy and never even thought about it.”
Parks Also Praised The New ‘RHOA’ Season
Elsewhere in the Page Six interview, Parks detailed what viewers can expect from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season 17. Notably, this comes after she left the show after season 9, then returned for the last few episodes of season 16.
When asked if she was excited for the new season, Parks responded, “This is going to be such an iconic, awesome season. It reminds me so much of classic ‘Housewives’ from back in the day. It’s gonna be really good.”
From there, she briefly discussed the cast, saying, “We’ve got two great new peaches.” For context, in additon to Cole, singer K. Michelle is joining the show as a full-time housewife. She described Michelle as “a sweetheart” and called her “very vulnerable and loving.”
Later, the former “Traitors” star gave an update on her friendship with Angela Oakley, who was at odds with her in the previous season. She said of what fans will see this season, “It is going to be good. We turned a corner, so we’re in a totally different place.”
Fans Are Reacting To ‘RHOA’ Season 17
Overall, Bravo fans are excited about season 17 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” However, some are skeptical of Parks’ comparison to “classic Housewives.” One person said on X, “They said the same thing with season 16, and it didn’t live up to the hype. Still watching, though.”
Another fan wrote, “The nail in the coffin was bringing Phaedra back after what she did to Kandi.” However, in support, another “RHOA” fan said, “I’m sorry, but I’m so distracted about how good Phae Phae looks. Brown hair looks good on her.”
Someone discussed Michelle joining the show, saying, “K. Michelle is toxic af every show she goes on it’s nothing but mess. Why didn’t she have this energy for Paris when she drenched her with that drink?” Notably, their comment is referring to her stint on “Love & Hip Hop.”
Lastly, another fan said, “The season hasn’t even started yet, and I’m telling you THIS IS GOING TO BE SO F-CKING GOOD.”
Phaedra Parks Recently Gave Advice To Wendy Osefo
“Real Housewives of Potomac” star Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo, are currently awaiting trial on several counts of insurance fraud following their October 2025 arrest and release the following day.
Recently, TMZ interviewed Parks, who is also an attorney, and asked the “RHOA” star how she would advise Osefo in her insurance fraud case. She responded, “The win for her would obviously be to be exonerated, but the evidence speaks for itself.”
Parks went on, “So, when the evidence speaks for itself, you need to do what’s in the best interest of your family and children and I’m not associated with that case so I can’t speak to what her attorneys are advising her of, but at the end of the day, she’s a mom and so I want the best for her and her kids.”
The interviewer then asked Parks what advice she would give Osefo to take a plea deal, to which she said, “You have to be offered a plea deal to obviously accept it.” Additionally, she spoke about the Osefos opting for separate hearings, saying that, as an attorney, she would have done the same in a case like this.
‘RHOA’ Season 17 Returns In April
Bravo unveiled the trailer for “RHOA” season 17 in February 2026, announcing the show’s return on April 5. In additon to Parks, Michelle, Cole, and Oakley, the series stars Porsha Williams, Drew Sidora, Shamea Morton, Kelli Ferrell, and Cynthia Bailey, who appears as a friend of the show.
This will mark the second season for stars Oakley, Morton, and Ferrell. As for Williams, she returned to the show for season 16 after having exited in 2021. Sidora joined the series in 2020 and was the only cast member to survive the soft reboot. As for Bailey, this will be her second year as an official friend of the show.
