RHoP In The Media: What's Going Down in the DMV


Recommended Posts

The Daily Mail quotes an insider as saying Karen cannot return to RHOP until she cleans up her act.  Buried in the story are reports that Ray coached Karen to lie to the police during the investigation at the scene: "Someone ran you off the road" and "You only had a couple of beers." Ray wasn't there during the accident, and I'm pretty sure neither is true. That's impeding the investigation, and enabling.

I think Karen will serve some time - say a weekend - and be required to stay sober, attend AA, perhaps do community service, and have a breathalyzer installed on her vehicles.

That made me crazy! How did the police officer not tell him to shut it?!

Everyone knows it was a deer that ran in front of her, it's always a deer's fault.

I am planning on going to the sentencing if my cohort (my son) can get the day off of work, it's a dorky thing to plan this field trip but I am compelled to go for the drama of it all.

Nothing was hidden, Ray coaching her and trying to get her out of her jam was on the bodycam footage.

I think Karen will end up getting the 60 days she was originally offered in the plea deal.  The court didn't release that embarrassing body cam footage for nothing. Maryland is just getting started on Karen because she wasted everyone's time --especially if this is actually her 4th DUI.

IMO Bravo ordered Karen to go to rehab ASAP if she wanted to keep her job.  Her non-attendance at the reunion was ordered by BRAVO, they will give her a special interview like they did for Robyn after she completes her jail sentence.  IMO she won't be on Season 10 and they're going to end up bringing Robyn back in some capacity. especially since Candiace is gone and will never be back.

Mia needs to slow her trashy roll right down because a lot of people are saying she's too low class to be on Potomac--and they're right.

Yes, she has lost me, especially this season. I think it's awful how she's treating Gordon, rubbing his nose in it with her other man. She is no role model for her children either. She seems to put herself first.

Wow....!!!

I had heard rumors on the internet streets that it was in fact Karen's 4th DUI. I didn't believe it until I heard it from Charisse's mouth. I believe Charisse that Karen had 2 DUIs essentially wiped off her record, that the first DUI occurred before her parents passed; and Charisse made an excellent point that these were only the times that Karen was caught driving while intoxicated.

I am not going to shade Karen for going to rehab. I truly hope she gets something out of it. I just wish Karen had humbled herself to go to rehab sooner; shortly after viewing that police body camera footage with her attorney. Had she done so, she could have spared herself the embarrassment.

I for one will miss the Grande Dame's presence at the reunion.

 

 

 

Yes, DUI records can be expunged. Shannon Beador of the RH of Orange County was discussing exactly this on the show, a couple of months after her deal with the DA's office and her sentencing regarding her DUI. Her lawyer would try to have her record (the DUI conviction) expunged after three years.

My son is a terrible enabler...he never watched these HW shows until he met his now wife, now we talk about the shows and plan field trips, I am not sure if I am proud of my son or ashamed, lol.

If Martin Scorsese watches the Housewives, none of us should be ashamed of watching!

This woman needs her driver's license taken away for life before she endangers herself and others again and again.

Karen already used the excuse of trying to avoid hitting a deer on the show (first episode). On top of what Ray advised her to say (somebody ran you off the road).

Karen Huger Fires Lawyers After Guilty Verdict, Asks to Delay DUI Sentencing | In Touch Weekly https://search.app/PPs7YiWtmfwaEQbp7

She is returning home after rehab today. 

Karen’s new lawyers said they last spoke to Karen as she entered an out-of-state program that is appropriate for this case.

The lawyers said they had not received authorization from their client to disclose the nature of the rebab.

IMO Karen fired her legal team because they told her appealing would be a waste of time.  I'd bet this new legal team will file an appeal on February 27.  It also sounds like this rehab stint is a ploy to a) stay on the show and b)stall for more time.

If the courts feel Karen is playing in their face, she just might get the 60 days in jail.  I think she will get the 60 days but theyi'll be suspended.

@Baltimore Betty, are you still planning to go now that it's been postponed?  I was going to reschedule my mammogram if it was tomorrow, but I have the February date on my calendar!😁

Hasn't it been moved to judge's chambers? I'm sure I saw that somewhere.

Now that there is a courtroom assigned, I am inclined to go even though it is the day before I leave for Miami for my daughters wedding, I will have to move my mani pedi but sacrifices need to be made, lol.

My mammogram is next week, I loathe going but we do what we have to do, I hope yours is easy breezy.

Really?  I've never heard of that and I was a prosecutor for 12 years (in DC).

And there's a courtroom listed when you look her name up in Maryland case search (Courtroom 3G South Tower).

The courtroom was not listed but it said in chambers calendar, I thought it was a special dispensation for the Grand Dame. LOL. I am happy to know it will be public.

I think Ashley finally realized Kickback Jack wasn't going to be generous so hopefully she decided to play hardball and ask for a lump settlement in exchange for keeping his name out of her mouth.  And hopefully that lump settlement includes complete ownership of her house.

Askale, Candiace, Nneka & Jacqueline have all been pregnant/had babies within the last 2 years. They should have a DMV Moms show or something LOL.

I hope that lump sum helps Ashley pay off her house.

I do not think she is at a level of celebrity where she can handle a $13,000 per month mortgage and simultaneously raise 2 boys on her own.  

The Thunder from Down Under probably is paying some child support, though.

Does anyone who lives in Potomac know what the property taxes are on a house like the one Ashley owns?  

Potomac is an expensive area and I imagine taxes are no joke.

Ashley lives in Arlington County, Virginia and the tax rate is .996.  If Ashley paid at least $2.5 Million for the house (confirmed in Season 7 when she tried to stunt on Candiace), then Ashley is paying at least $24,900 per year in real estate taxes.

Hopefully her lump sum includes paying off that house and putting it completely and entirely in her name and she can worry about paying the taxes herself.

Karen really better hope the judge takes pity on her because the prosecutor ain't playing with her: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/02/22/karen-huger-dui-sentencing/

The prosecutor isn't buying the timing of her little trip to rehab or the rehab itself. Said the rehab was a luxury spa experience.  Let me find out Karen went to Salamander LOL.

That bodycam footage plus the prosecutor's displeasure plus the fact this really is Karen's 4th offense doesn't bode well for her.

EDIT (excerpts from article): Huger could be sentenced to up to two years in jail, prosecutors said in court filings. In a reflection of Maryland’s sentencing guidelines, though, they are seeking six months. Huger’s attorney will seek a sentence that imposes no jail time but instead stresses rehabilitation.

I really don't think this will help her case:

At the time, an overreliance on antidepression medication was still clouding her understanding of what happened, according to Martella. The attorney said that Huger’s impairment shown on the police videos resulted from a combination of alcohol and medication. Her exact alcohol level was never known because she refused to undergo a Breathalyzer. Jurors reached their verdict after watching the videos and hearing testimony from responding officers. “She was hammered,” Sgt. Brett Trahan told them.

So you were high as you drove through the streets of Potomac and you were so high the rest of 2024 you couldn't understand the gravity of what you did?

Karen, you going to jail. Clankity clank.

Yes, she had 3 prior DUI offenses between 2006 and 2011.  You only see (I think) the 2006 DUI offense on the Maryland court case site, so she probably got the other 2 knocked down to simple traffic offenses and that was obviously her strategy here: refuse the Breathalyzer test, get the body cam footage thrown out, get the case knocked down to a simple traffic offense.

Her attorney asked for the body camera videos, and the whole case to be thrown out in two different filings. The judge refused the requests.

She obviously has a problem for a long time, but like most addicts she refuses to admit it. 

Judges tend to be lenient often, but she had four DUIs, and her overall attitude including the body cam videos is not helping.

LMAO @ Karen sitting at the bar on the premiere episode of "Beyond the Gates." 

LOL!!  I just posted this in reply to comments in the Reunion Part 2 thread about Karen appearing on "Beyond the Gates".  She really doesn't need to worry about quitting/getting fired from RHOP, unless it's to go to jail for her DUI's.  She didn't do a very good job, imo!!  

Karen had a bit part in the debut of "Beyond the Gates" - it's a new daytime soap opera.  I actually had it on in the background today, because I just happened to have CBS on and didn't change the channel.

She's in a couple of scenes that took place in the fictional town's country club as a bystander patron.  At one point, she's sitting at a table with other extras in the background, and the next scene, she's sitting at the bar area directly behind two of the main cast members' dramatic moment.  I started watching carefully when I spotted Karen, making her over-dramatic side-eyes and hand movements.  I also observed her reading a small notecard, presumably with the script, so she would know when to deliver her one line "Welcome to Fairmont Crest" (the fictional town the soap opera takes place in).  She looked and acted like an cheap imitation of a broke-down Nora Desmond!!  I don't know what the director was going for, but I don't think it was some poorly recited one line in such an over-the-top delivery.  

Something tells me that she won't be making any additional appearances on the show, given her poor performance on the show, and what has transpired in her personal life.

I actually wondered if Karen may have won/bought the appearance at a charity gift auction or something.  🤣  I could totally see Karen thinking that she would be such a breakout star, they would offer her a more significant role.

RHOP’s Karen Huger Tells Judge She Had Withdrawals From Pills in Rehab in Court Plea.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Karen Huger asked a Maryland judge to go soft on her at her sentencing on Wednesday, February 25.

She argued  the stress of losing her parents and providing “responsible leadership on” Real Housewives of Potomac led to her taking more anti-depressants, and she believes this played a role in her being arrested for driving under the  influence.

Was the responsible leadership in the room when she refused to stand a stand against Monique's violence on Candiace and then ran to HR to get Candiace fired?

Or was it when she accused Gizelle of having an STD and going to the mental hospital?

Or maybe it was that time when she allegedly wanted Wendy off the cast because Wendy was too dark & ugly?

Can fence riders be considered "leaders?"

I think Karen is TV gold, and I am a fan of hers as a reality TV personality. But I still completely agree. 

Karen can be really likable and nice on the show, but examples like the ones above, yeah I wouldn't exactly describe her as someone who showed leadership. She can absolutely go low and has done it many times. 

Also, I know losing a parent must be difficult no matter when it happens, but not only did Karen apparently drink and drive before, she was a 50-something woman who lost elderly parents. She didn't go through some unusually tragic loss like being young and losing a parent/losing a young parent. People go through way worse stuff all the time and do not risk the lives and limbs of others.

"Huger’s trial included witness testimony and police body-camera video showing her shortly after the collision. The footage, reviewed by The Times, shows the “Real Housewives” star refusing to turn over her driver license, seeming to slur her speech and requesting that officers keep their hands off her and leave her alone. In other footage she can be heard asking an officer to turn off their body cam."
