My WW has made some new friends. The girl is someone she works with (along with OM) and her boyfriend is the OM best friend.
My WW feels very alone. All her old friends are so mad at her, they will not talk to her. Well, one does, but she cannot do much.
I was considering asking the Girl and the OM best friend to come over for a cookout or something.
My thought process is that if they (the girl and the OM best friend) see what my WW is jepordizing, they may, either intentionally or not, help support NC.
Or maybe they will just tell the OM what a jerk I am.
Any thoughts? Anybody try anything like this before?

Crikey, you're braver than I am. Please protect yourself through it all though. But this probably falls under the 'get everything exposed' MB theory, so why not? And my C tells me that if you start acting as a couple, having friends over again, it will help you BE a couple. If these are the only friends she has, it could turn into a lot of LD's for you! Good luck, better catch the next Boy Meets Grill so you can really wow 'em!

Nope.
If I were you,I would never invite,into MY home,anyone associated with the OM, especially a best friend.It would be one big tattle tale fest of "how did he act,what did he say,what was he wearing" etc,between all of you.I would feel very uncomfortable and you could not bank on anything positive coming out of the gathering and you don't really know these people.They might have an allegiance with the OM.
Realistically,your WW should pick some friends that are not involved in any way with what is going on in your marriage.
JMHO.
