Angel Massie, a newcomer to ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac,’ has exposed a direct message from co-star Dr. Wendy Osefo sent in 2015, challenging Osefo’s on-camera assertion that the two women were strangers before the show. In an exclusive interview with Page Six’s ‘Virtual Reali-Tea,’ Massie detailed the private exchange where Osefo offered condolences over the death of Massie’s mother, sharing her own grief over her father’s passing.
The revelation centers on a purported Instagram direct message from Osefo to Massie nine years ago, during a period of personal loss for both. Massie claims that Osefo reached out to express sympathy and draw parallels between their experiences, making her subsequent denial of their acquaintance all the more baffling. ‘I know that at the top of the season she said, ‘No, I don’t know her,” Massie told Page Six. ‘But back in 2015, when my mom passed away, she was DM’ing me about her father, her stepfather passing away and how we had those commonalities.’
Massie expressed confusion over the inconsistency, noting that Osefo’s initial outreach was empathetic and focused on shared grief. ‘That’s why I was taken aback,’ she explained, suggesting that Osefo’s earlier behavior might not have been genuine. Despite the apparent contradiction, Massie insists she isn’t personally offended but views it as a strategic ploy. She theorized that Osefo’s denial is a power move, stating, ‘I think that sometimes women who are narcissistic think that saying they don’t know someone gives them some type of hierarchical power.’
The tension between the women extended beyond this revelation. During the season, Osefo questioned Massie’s finances, a point Massie now finds ironic in light of Osefo’s own legal issues. In 2025, Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo, were arrested and charged in connection with an alleged fraud case, which shocked Bravo fans. Massie recalled her reaction to the news, saying, ‘At the time, I thought, ‘Wow, this is very different from the brand that she portrays.’
Massie admitted that the legal situation sparked concern, particularly for Osefo’s children, but she decided not to reach out after the arrest. ‘I am not one to revel in someone’s misery,’ Massie said. ‘And let’s be clear — this is a miserable situation.’ She added that she feels justified in maintaining distance, especially after watching the full season unfold. This stance underscores her belief that their relationship was never authentic.
Looking ahead, Massie is content to let the legal process take its course for Osefo. ‘She’ll have to have her day in court,’ Massie remarked, referring to the fraud charges. Meanwhile, ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’ continues to air, with new episodes available on Peacock. The show’s tenth season, which debuted in October 2025, has been marked by this feud and other dramatic storylines.
In summary, Massie’s disclosure highlights the complexities of reality TV relationships and the blurring lines between personal history and on-screen narratives. By sharing the old DM, she aims to set the record straight and challenge Osefo’s version of events. The situation reflects broader themes of authenticity and power dynamics within the entertainment industry, resonating with fans who follow the series closely.
