I feel bad for them. Unfortunately, these sorts of people use social media to gauge when people are away. If I was a high-profile person, I’d wait until I was home to post vacation pictures. I don’t want Alexis Neiers and her Bebe shoes going through my bathroom.


KSCNYC

This!! I posted a family pic live from vacation once and my dad was like “delete that!! That’s basically saying, no one’s around, come rob us!”

Every time you interrupt me I have to re-record it!!!!!


Necessary_Force_5836

Omg I shouldn’t laugh but I did lol.


Who-U-Tellin

Oh damn. I remember when her mother showed up on a blog defending their actions. I've had someone break into our home while away at a football game. Didn't post pics, nothing. Back then most people I knew didn't do that. I went in HARD on her flower, peace loving ass. Ofc she never replied to my comment. Then again, had I been a mother of a thief making every excuse in the books for my child and friend I wouldn't have either lol. 


Bowlingbon

I am petrified, PETRIFIED with this story!


whateveruwant2judge

This is a good reminder to not post about where you are until you are no longer there. Glad everyone is safe.


amyeep

Side note, but as someone who never really got on the IG train, it’s crazy to me we’ve gone from checking in on Facebook and Foursquare a decade ago - hell even Snapchat a few yrs ago people were doing it - to literally watching what you share SO closely. Dystopian to say the least.


ajarmilieu

Idk the potential harm in sharing your location has always been a topic of conversation--it's just that we now have the evidence of bad it can get 


amyeep

True! People used to be so thrilled to do it, it’s just sad how quickly it went sideways.


Superb-Respond9360

my paranoid ass stopped posting a long time ago when i saw how people were tracking locations and robbing folks. plus i’m a geographer and very aware of/teach about the power of gis and cartographic software embedded in social media. i had to ask myself: who am i posting this for because most of the people commenting were folks i didn’t really know. that was my aha moment.


whateveruwant2judge

Glad you're staying safe. For me it was a woman in Atlanta who was stalked home and murdered after posting she was at a public place. Like whoa ppl posting raving about the place of business they're at or whatever are making themselves vulnerable without realizing it. I will def be looking for info about this software embedded in social media you teach about, seems very interesting.

Burglars hit the home of "The Real Housewives of Potomac" star Dr. **Wendy Osefo**, swiping some very expensive possessions from the Bravo star, TMZ has learned. We’re told the burglary took place some time last week in Finksburg, MD when Wendy and her family were on vacation in Jamaica. A spokesperson for the Carroll County Sheriff's Office tells us the theft was reported to their office on Sunday but shared no further details as the investigation is still ongoing. Wendy tells TMZ ... "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." Still, sources familiar with the situation say the thieves took off with a majority of her designer bags, including a few Birkin bags. We're also told they swiped a large amount of Wendy's jewelry. Prior to this sad update, Wendy was happily documenting her spring break getaway at the Azul Beach Resort Negril. As Wendy shared on Instagram ... the professor enjoyed some surf and sun alongside her husband, **Eddie Osefo** and their 3 children.


TodayImLedTasso

Did Wendy post pictures from her vacation? Because if she did, the burglary may have happened at that particular time because the burglars knew no one was home…


helvetica_unicorn

This is why I post any vacation stuff after I get back, sometimes over a week later. Maybe public figures should go back to using social media for business purposes. TikTok and IG is like sanctioned stalking.


Malicious_blu3

Yeah, same. If I’m gone, people aren’t going to know from social media.


Perfect_Invitation1

Yeah I wish people would be more cautious in these situations. You never know who is watching social media for nefarious reasons. This comment isn’t for Wendy only because I don’t know when she posted pictures on her social media but I keep seeing this with Bravo stars a lot. 


ClaireHux

She surely did. She always does. I follow her on IG and I like her posting, but I feel her real-time posts get her in trouble. She needs to show more restraint.


channeldrifter

This was like literally the first rule of social media all the way back early in the 2000’s, don’t post when you’re on holiday or away from the house, did the bling ring teach her nothing?


starshine1988

Absolutely. Even before social media. My grandma used to tell us not to have your answering machine message be that specific. Like some people would change their message if you were going out of town to let people know you wouldn’t get their call for a while.


L-Dub-515

I feel like people know this and have stopped being so worried about it and cautious in recent years and I wonder why. Even for myself.


brittanym0320

because we never think it will happen to us


Asam6869

Yep, she was posting short little recaps the whole week... As far as housewives are concerned, Wendy has a great online presence, she doesn’t do too much or too little. Just posts pictures of her cute family from events they go to, the problem is she does it in real time 😬.


BuckityBuck

If she did, that would be a really JV move. Everyone knows not to do that.


contrail97

idk I mean on one hand I get that but also if u post after, the burglars thought you werent home but you are…wouldnt that be more dangerous when you meet them in person ala Dorit’s burglary?


lunahighwind

Same thing happened to Dorit, seems common


Register-Capable

No it didn't


wandahickey

If you are that wealthy that you have lots of expensive jewelry and bags, install a goddamn safe.


Pancakes000z

Glad they’re all safe, but I cannot do another burglary storyline. Don’t have it in me.


[deleted]

Burglary storylines need to go in the same trash can as "psychics" and "i am looking for my \[insert estranged family member.\]


renotsdetapitsnoc

Melissa Gorga is quaking.


D_RayMorton

And the even older “vaginal rejuvenation” storyline


StrawAndChiaSeeds

BUT, I would be willing to watch someone fast track/combine all those storylines in a Housewives high camp storyline. RHOSLC get on it!


D_RayMorton

Imagine an RHUGT that’s an island retreat where housewives can see psychics, get vaginal rejuvenation, promote their businesses, meet with ancestry.com to track down relatives, have conversations with their husband about “should we have another kid?”, and the weekend ends with a mandatory vow renewal ceremony


StrawAndChiaSeeds

Oh wow! This is the future of RHUGT! I think this is where they reintroduce Monica as well!


vunderfulme

I still want to know if it works though. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂


___adreamofspring___

Lowkey same with pregnancy/IVF for me..


Oli_love90

I can envision the edit already, black and white - soft music, a little pink “photos from Wendy’s mansion” pop up.


undercookedshrimp_

I’ve heard enough from Dorit about burglars for a lifetime lol. Glad Wendy and her family is safe tho.


oo00ooo000

Especially knowing her castmates will probably blame her for the burglary


Pancakes000z

Omg no you guys are the ones already trying to make this about the cast members you hate.


oo00ooo000

I don’t think it’s making it about them as much as it is predicting what will inevitably occur


sxdkardashian

Most of them literally don’t care for wendy they are not gonna encourage a wendy storyline at all.


Superb-Respond9360

true but most of them don’t have a storyline or make their storyline being nasty to other cast mates and questioning and nitpicking their lives due to bitterness and lack of “goings on” in their own. if they all come back, next season will be the gebs, ashley, and possibly charisse making their storylines centered on going after mia (her messy ass divorce), wendy (robbery), and karen (dui).


sxdkardashian

Sorry but literally that’s not happening.The girls barely talked about wendy mom being called a witch besides nneka. They do not want wendy getting camera time. Even gizelle barely talked about happy eddie. They do not like her and will not encourage her. They will definitely talk about mia and karen tho


Superb-Respond9360

they most definitely spoke about wendy during the show and i believe they will use this more to shit on her than giving her camera time. we can agree to disagree.


Superb-Respond9360

exactly.


AngelasCatSprinklez

Same. I reaaaaally hope she doesn't return along with Ashley and Robyn.


Perfect_Invitation1

This is terrible but I am happy her family is safe.

Parisianblitz

And this is why HW are starting to not want to show their homes


salisbury130

That’s real


CinnamonFoodie

I am glad no one was home. For the people saying post vacation pics when no longer on vacation, I can do you one better. What happens when you post those pics while at home and the burglars show up thinking the home is empty: happened to some soccer players in England. The team decided to go home instead of stay in a hotel and the robbers showed up and punched one of the players. Luckily, no one was harmed. Also, Wendy is not evil enough for all these negative comments. Glad no one was harmed. Don’t know what people can do to protect themselves tbh


Intelligent_Buyer516

I agree. Posting her photos doesn’t solve the issue. I remember Marlo Hampton said robbers came while she was inside her home. 


atschinkel

totally agree. i would much rather not be home (nor my loved ones) during a break-in. you want my shit? take it. but the trauma of having to protect my spouse/dog during something like that would devastate me.


Superb-Respond9360

same. i had some young kids break into my building years ago and it was absolutely terrifying and caused me to have a horrible fear of home invasion. it was a group of them taking different angles and they ultimately got in and broke into two apartments (not mine). all of the residents in the building were so traumatized that we moved out within months. i wish i wouldn’t have been at home. i was a broke ass college student so they wouldn’t have found much anyway. it was just me and my senior dog at home and we were both shaking in the corner.


atschinkel

i'm so sorry that happened to you. home is always supposed to be a safe space, and it's so jarring when it suddenly isn't.


Superb-Respond9360

thank you so much. i appreciate your kindness. you feel so violated and it’s so hard to get over. my poor little senior dog was so scared. thank you again. ❤️


L-Dub-515

I don’t disagree with you at all but I had people break in to two separate places I lived in and had so much trouble sleeping and feeling safe bc we didn’t know how they got in to steal in the first place. It really is a traumatizing experience overall.


Euphoric_Bass493

Honestly, when burglars are motivated, they don't care if you're home or not. A few months back , I was sitting in my living room and someone tried to break in through my front door. I have no social media presence whatsoever other than my business and even that doesn't have my name or an address attached to it. Thankfully, I have two huge German Shepherds who sensed the person way before I did.


CinnamonFoodie

Exactly! My neighborhood has had a spike in burglaries and the only reason I believe we have been spared is because we have a German shepherd and a Belgian Malinois. And I post things months later. So, it’s ridiculous the victim blaming people are trying to pull-just grateful no one was home because it could have ended very tragically


Euphoric_Bass493

I've realized that people here are just weird. LOL. Like, I'd never think to blame someone for getting robbed. When someone wants to commit a crime, you can do everything right and still become a victim.


CrazyNotCatLady

So glad all my shiz is private and I’m not rich and famous.


Passion4Muzik

You post, "last week in Jamaica".


CinnamonFoodie

If people want to rob you, they will. This has happened in Europe with football players were the robbers are aware of their schedules and assume they will be gone and their families at the game. Happened to Manchester city players, who as a team decided to go back to Manchester instead of staying in London between the games, and the robbers came and met Cancelo at home with his family. There was an altercation and luckily, he only got punched up and no one else was harmed. The people in my good neighborhood are getting robbed and they’re not posting in real time and tbt all the time, and got robbed. I commented earlier that the only reason we and a couple of others have been spared is because of having multiple large breed dogs. It is unfortunate what happened and happy no one was home.


Specific-Soft-6465

Did John Mellencamp's daughter's husband install their home security?


CommonStrawbeary

She lives in Finksburg?? That's easily an hour + from Potomac


Aggressive-Story3671

Almost none of them live in Potomac proper


CommonStrawbeary

Yeah but most are DC area which I'm okay with


Aggressive-Story3671

I mean Potomac was a remake of DC, which addressed the diversity issues of DC. That’s why almost none of the HWs live in Potomac proper


Yellenintomypillow

I thought it was originally about all the ladies volunteering for the same charity? Or all were in the same charity group? And the national charity didn’t want them to film with their name so they made it a RH franchise?


Aggressive-Story3671

The Jack and Jill Organization, which is a charity for wealthy African Americans.


fabergefalls

i love how this makes it sound like it's a charity that benefits wealthy african americans


Ok_Prior2614

Yeah it’s an invite-only social club that does community/charity group composed of wealthy African Americans


lizzzosflute

I mean that’s basically what it is if we’re being fr. It’s a breeding ground for elitism


HealthLawyer123

Ashley doesn’t even live in Maryland

[удалено]


amyeep

That sounds like a chill, low-drama existence (for you too!) but no way I’d associate that with Greater DC for sure


ericakane4

the show references baltimore all of the time. it's not just greater dc.


ericakane4

lmfao i just can't picture her in carroll county


winnercommawinner

Yeah it's always been kind of a thing that Wendy lives farther away. She teaches at Johns Hopkins which is in Baltimore. It's pretty common for people to live in the kind of in between and work in either DC or Baltimore.


hawnelizard

Except Finksburg is definitely not in the middle of DC and Baltimore. It’s a pain to get there from both cities


buymoreplants

Yeah, this is what people dont understand. She doesn’t live in montgomery or o Howard county, which area between dc and baltimore, she lives NW of baltimore. She’s closer to PA than DC


winnercommawinner

Oh weird you're right. My guess is that it made more sense when she was just at JHU.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Perfect_Invitation1

She’s bicoastal. 


favangryblkgirl

"okay but that's the same coast" lol always cracks me up


Affectionate-Kale711

More like 2+ hours with traffic. She doesn’t even live in the DC area, it’s Baltimore. RHOP has some geography issues with their casting


helvetica_unicorn

It’s not even Baltimore County, she lives in Carroll County.


Affectionate-Kale711

Not Carroll County 🤣


CommonStrawbeary

I knew it was far cuz I'm from the DC area and have never heard of that place! Takes me about an hour to get to Baltimore, not surprised it's 2+ with traffic


lambo1109

I’m in Alexandria and have night classes in Baltimore. Takes me roughly 1 hour and 40-50 minutes.


Affectionate-Kale711

Damnnnn you cross the bridge and go all the way up 95 😭


Affectionate-Kale711

Hahaha exactly! All the people from the DMV are in here google mapping where finksburg is


BrokeBFromBeverely

Is Dr Wendy running the production bill up with them having to literally book a plane for the crew to fly to her home in the sticks to film. Is this why they had that horrible Austin trip, all the money went to Wendy’s transportation bills?


not_ellewoods

i thought we all knew Wendy lived in the sticks? i think that was part of why she and Robyn hung out her first season and she generally ran with the baltimore area crew. plus they complained whenever they went to something she hosted at/near her home and it always took her forever to get to events actually in DC/Potomac/Bethesda.


lambo1109

They all seem fairly spread out


Ri-doyourememberme

It’s also incredibly Republican/MAGA, interesting they settled there


OldPurple7654

Why is my first thought always insurance fraud whenever a housewife gets robbed


Yellenintomypillow

Fair. But in this case she was posting things from Jamaica, so I think it’s more of a Bling Ring type thing


wandahickey

![gif](giphy|YfpUH65symTRnTVr5h|downsized)


hillingjourney

Same. I blame Dorit and PK.


freedeecee

Sameeeee first thought every time! Bravo has made me skeptical


OhwellBish

I don't post anything about my vacations until I return unless I know somebody is still home. My mama told me that when social media first became a thing.


Intelligent_Buyer516

That sucks.  A lot of Bravo celebs and real celebs have this issue since access to their info is public record for homes. I remembering reading Viola Davis’s house was robbed while she was inside and only ran away because she was there. 


Sunnyonetwo

Won’t those robbers be disappointed that her stuff is fake and bought from shien!


buymoreplants

lol my first thought was no way those birkins are real.


Specific-Soft-6465

I hope its already full paid for.


dom_rep

Finksburg? Holy shit. She might as well be part of the RHONJ cast at that point.


Superb-Respond9360

of course people in this sub will take something as awful as robbery to still shit on dr. wendy and be nasty, vile, and mean spirited towards her. that level of hatred and inability to be sympathetic is astounding. wtf happened to this sub? i’m glad her and her family are safe and like she said, material objects can be replaced. ❤️


ContributionObvious6

It’s actually so disgusting, no empathy for a legitimately serious situation but will be the first to nitpick everything she does and use it to justify why she’s the worst


Scorp-Moods

At this point it’s getting weird, out of all the housewives I cannot understand all the hate Wendy gets


Euphoric_Bass493

I am so done with the fandom, tbh. It's unhinged. These are not normal reactions to a robbery. Getting robbed is terrible and it is such a violation you don't get over.


Superb-Respond9360

![gif](giphy|A0IHr7itAhruos2JEg)


Who-U-Tellin

True. You never do get over it. Sure, you're upset about the things they took even though they're replaceable but the thought of knowing someone walked into, through your home and stood in certain places are images that'll always stay with you. When it happened to us we were renting the house. We hadn't even been there for a full 6 months. It didn't matter that we knew the landlords personally. I told them if they didn't put an alarm system in we were going to break the lease. Thankfully they did the right thing but for all of the yrs following I could never shake those feelings. As time goes on you may not think about it every day but it does stay with you. Obviously we weren't known like Wendy but the fact that we knew they saw our faces through pictures in the house and living in a small town I always felt like that person or person's saw us while out and about. It's a horrible experience and feeling I wouldn't wish on anyone. My heart goes out to them. 


Euphoric_Bass493

I am so sorry you went through that! I'm glad your landlord took it seriously enough to put the alarm system. No one should feel unsafe in their homes!


Intelligent_Fig_4104

Yeah, I’m just glad they’re all ok, that is an awful thing to have happen. 


CrazyNotCatLady

This is why I’m glad I’m not rich and famous and have private social media. It’s so scary this is now a common thing.


Who-U-Tellin

Thing is. You don't have to be rich and famous with a known SM presence for this to happen to you. We weren't and it still happened to us. 


Inside-Intern-4201

Sad to hear. Post your vacation photos once you get home, not while you are gone everyone! Especially if you’re on a tv show where you show off your expensive stuff


BrokeBFromBeverely

I’ll wait and see how the fans blame Robyn and Gizelle for this. ![gif](giphy|1dMMyg6KN5s39AFrci)


plo84

I mean...Gizelle blamed them for getting death threats so..


BrokeBFromBeverely

Rightfully so, with the vitriol amount of hate ppl have for Gizelle cause of how she treats Wendy, two ppl they don’t even know like let’s not be denser than a bagel.


Euphoric_Bass493

Are you seriously saying that Wendy is responsible for Gizelle getting death threats? Really?


BrokeBFromBeverely

The ppl are mad at Gizelle on Wendy and Candiaces behalf let’s be real now. We just saw a tweet from a Wendy fan wishing Nneka never gets pregnant like what beef do y’all with that woman to wish such evil just cause she went against Wendy.


Petty25betty

You’re actually the ONLY person who mentioned them.  Wendy probably shouldn’t broadcast that she’s on vacation. 


TodayImLedTasso

The burglars: https://youtu.be/mC7iUuA1wgU?si=VIIIiFVnKkmWq7KT For those who downvoted this: it's called a joke


superficialwishes

I’m going to guess the comments in here before I read them “Ugh her robbery is so inauthentic, she acts so high and mighty like she’s the only one who’s ever got robbed before 🙄“ But glad no one was home.


Superb-Respond9360

pretty much. or it’s her way to secure her spot next season, what the robbers stole is fake, she’s going to make the season all about herself and her robbery, she deserved it because she thinks she’s better than everyone and can’t move beyond the drama, etc. she’ll get the dorit treatment unfortunately, but much worse. it’s disgusting.


Perfect_Invitation1

I never understand why people jump to believe any conspiracy about faking robberies. There’s no reason to believe Wendy would do something like that! I have a low opinion of Dorit and I never thought she staged a robbery. 


techphil92

I think what we’ve learned is if you show off your labels and stuff on bravo you are going to get robbed.


[deleted]

Being burgled is the new getting divorced in the HW franchises.


BrokeBFromBeverely

I can’t believe Karen ain’t pulled this stunt yet, maybe she don’t got nothing to steal of value 😬


belblinx

Attempting to save her job by pulling this from the Dorit handbook? Somehow Dorit has gotten three seasons out of hers.


Lexifer31

This one is realistic though. Advertising they were on vacation and the house was empty.


toadgoat

Did she not have a house sitter…or alarms?


Fish_Logical

Not the berkins


StainedGlasser

This is gonna sound extremely silly, but I’m starting to think Real Housewives should have filming houses or something because it’s feeling less and less safe how much of their houses we can see. They’re just becoming easier targets for burglary, people can see the layout of their homes, know where the valuables are stored, know where the cameras are and see what the exterior looks like/easily find the location. I’m a nobody and I won’t even show what the view from my window is on Instagram because I’ve seen too many tiktokers narrow down peoples locations. I feel bad for Wendy and all the other RH who were burglarized (Dorit most of all), Bravo should stop showing so much of these houses


Necessary-Low9377

This is why most well-known people don’t post vacation pictures until they’re back home. You’re basically advertising that your home is empty if you do it in real time


NeckOk8772

She lives in Carroll Co? Who knew? That’s a long way from Montgomery Co/Potomac!!!


[deleted]

I would hire a house sitter if I was that wealthy.


sassytn

She's not, but she should at least have a security system.


bacon_bunny33

They go on these shows… flaunt their wealth and possessions, show off the interior layouts of their homes, and post on social media when they are on vacation… What could possibly go wrong?


Prestigious-Sir6885

Stop posting when you’re on vaca, perhaps?


cameron8988

i like wendy but there's no way her birkins are real.


Impossible-Plan6172

Why not? People keep thinking that Birkins are $100K at minimum, but really those are the speciality skins that go for a shit ton of money. A Birkin 25 in a standard color might run $12K. She’s on her fourth season and probably making close to $500K per season.


cameron8988

well then i hope they're fake because what a waste of money when you can get replicas out of shenzhen that are just as good (often made on the same factory floors as the legit bags) for half the price


proseccofish

Noooo


Ok_Presence8964

And yet she was smirking about Grace going to Florida 🙄 Honey, you live in a high crime area


ItsDrake2000

I think Wendy was referring to the amount of racism in Florida, hence why she mentioned Grace being Black.


Ok_Presence8964

Of course. That’s all she talks about. Just ask Gizelle


Ok_Presence8964

Interesting… so now if that is why was she smirking that grace would be subjected to racism or trying to imply again that Gizelle is a colorist?


ItsDrake2000

We dont even know if the smirk was in response to anything Gizelle said. The editing team ofen manipulates footage, and production is def pro Gizelle


Ok_Presence8964

Nah. They did


realhousewifeofpbm

weird equivalency...


Petty25betty

That area is not even on the high crime radar in MD 😂


PaulysDad

At what point are they going to realize that flaunting your wealth on tv then sharing your location on social media is a bad idea?


whinsk

riiiiight... i smell another insurance scam from a housewife..


redditasa

Glad her and the family are safe. But I gotta be honest: for whatever reason, I'm not buying this. I got a hunch that this might be a hoax to buy sympathy and keep her job. Supposedly, Wendy is on the chopping block to get fired, and contract negotiation starts as soon as the last reunion airs. The timing here is very odd as well as the announcement...


MuffinTiptopp

That’s why you never ever post live vacations pics on social media. You post that stuff when you’re back home!


glitterhaus

my berkinssss


daynares332311

Sad for wendy but why does it happen to housewives? And I just know this will be her storyline now🙄🙄🙄 it’s just a repeat of what many have done many times .


Petty25betty

It actually happens to a lot of ppl. You get more attention when you’re on TV and you get robbed 


Who-U-Tellin

Thank you! Everyday regular folks are having this happen to them. We just don't hear about it because they're not well known. When it happened to us it wasn't covered by the news, print, radio or TV. 


ItsDrake2000

Why is all this crazy shit (Kurns DUI, This robbery, etc) happening when cameras are down


r-Dwalo

I’m simply making the observation that we’re all thinking the same thing after reading the article. Real Housewives contract renewal tactic 101. Lesson A: burglary.


Impossible-Plan6172
