Karen Huger in Recovery, Plans DUI Appeal

Karen Huger, known as the 'Grande Dame' from The Real Housewives of Potomac, has entered a private recovery program following her conviction for DUI and other charges after a car crash in March 2024. As a result, she missed the Season 9 reunion taping, where cast members typically confront each other about their actions throughout the season. Huger's decision to enter recovery has been publicly supported by her manager and family, although some speculate it might be an attempt to manage public perception. Despite her absence, Huger's legal team plans to appeal the verdict, expressing disappointment with the jury's decision. Her husband, Ray Huger, was present at the accident scene and suggested she only had 'a couple of beers,' although police footage showed her appearing intoxicated. The situation has left fans and fellow cast members surprised and concerned about Huger's future on the show.
