Karen Huger is “running” the Montgomery County Correctional Facility, where she is serving a one-year sentence for her March 2024 DUI arrest, according to her Real Housewives of Potomac co-star Gizelle Bryant.
Bryant appeared on Sunday night’s (April 27) episode of Watch What Happens Live, during which she gave a positive update on Huger, who began her prison sentence on Feb. 27 of this year.
“I have been in contact with someone who is very close to her about her safety and all that,” Bryant told host Andy Cohen. “And from what I understand, they love her up in where she is right now. They absolutely love her. They are loving the Grande Dame. You know she is running that thing.”
“I feel very good about the fact that she’s safe,” Bryant added, noting that Huger’s husband Ray Huger is “still adjusting” to their new reality.
Huger’s arrest occurred in March 2024 when she totaled her car in a high-speed accident and was hit with a DUI charge and six other traffic violations. The reality star claimed she “swerved to avoid the head-on collision” with another car she believed was heading toward her, maintaining her innocence throughout her case and the most recent season of The Real Housewives of Potomac.
However, shocking police camera footage showed Huger slurring her words, admitting to being “lit,” and bizarrely referring to herself as “Thomas Jefferson’s concubine.” The footage was released the same week she was found guilty on all charges except reckless driving.
After the guilty verdict, Huger skipped the Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9 reunion to enter a “private recovery program,” though she did send in an emotional pre-recorded video that left some of her castmates, including Bryant, in tears.
Huger — who has had four DUI arrests in the past 17 years — was ultimately sentenced to two years in prison with one year suspended, meaning she will spend one whole year at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility and will have her license suspended for another year.
