'RHOP' Stars Share Surprising Remarks About Karen Huger During Reunion Trailer

Season 9 of the "Real Housewives of Potomac" has focused primarily on Karen Huger and her ongoing legal troubles.

In late 2024, a jury found the reality star guilty on several counts, including negligent driving and driving under the influence.

Shocking body camera footage also hit the internet following Huger's verdict, which showcased the Bravo star in an unfavorable light. The videos prompted the 61-year-old to check into rehab, forcing her to miss the show's reunion special.

During a sneak peek of the Season 9 reunion, several "RHOP" cast members shared surprising remarks about Karen Huger and her case.

"Real Housewives" fans always look forward to the explosive reunion gathering, primarily because it brings the show's cast together to confront the season's biggest issues head-on.

Huger's legal troubles were a major part of the season.

Considering she spent the majority of this year's episodes maintaining her innocence—only for a jury to find her guilty—her presence at the reunion was expected.

However, Bravo announced that she ditched the January 2025 taping to enter rehab.

During the special's sneak peek, it's clear that the ladies spent a good portion of time discussing their castmate's case.

In one clip, Dr. Wendy Osefo expressed strong feelings about her friend, whom she had fiercely defended the past season.

"Having seen that, it all adds up. And I can confidently say—that is not my friend," Osefo said.

It's unclear what exactly Osefo is referring to in the clip; however, it will all be revealed when the reunion begins airing on February 16, 2025.

Huger could face up to two years in prison for driving under the influence.

The reality star's sentencing was originally scheduled for January 29, 2025; however, a judge granted Huger an extension.

She now has until February 26 to prepare for sentencing.

In the reunion trailer, several of Huger's co-stars discussed the possibility of their friend spending time behind bars.

When Andy Cohen asked the ladies how they believed she'd do if ordered to serve time, many of them admitted she wouldn't do well.

"Terrible," Osefo said before Gizelle Bryant added, "Not well."

The latter also mentioned Huger would struggle because she wouldn't be able to wear her hair pieces, adding, "Like, you can't wear your wig."

Osefo's earlier comment about her relationship with Huger wasn't the only thing she said that stood out to watchers.

In another section, the talk show host appeared to recount an interaction she had with someone who shared a startling allegation about Huger.

"They said, 'You're on the show with Karen. She comes here every single day, and she gets drunk,'" Osefo said.

However, she wasn't alone in sharing new information.

Ashley Darby also shared with Cohen that a journalist sent her a message on social media saying there was a "person in the car with Karen who fled."

Mia Thornton followed that up with "her boyfriend."

Once Bravo released the reunion trailer, people began chiming in to share their thoughts, especially about the Huger storyline.

In an interview with OK, former "RHOP" OG Charrisse Jackson-Jordan slammed her friends for sharing speculative information about Huger during her lowest moment.

“Karen's got enough to deal with right now,” she said. “The added speculation of a boyfriend fleeing the scene, in my opinion, is totally unbelievable considering the time and location of the accident. She was clearly headed home.”

She went on to say that watching the cast members cry for Huger throughout the season only to tear her down during the reunion brought back old memories from her time on the show.

“It reminds me of when I was going through [a] divorce while on the show. I was broken, and instead of [getting] support, I was attacked with a barrage of lies.”

After a jury found Huger guilty on charges of driving under the influence, the reality star addressed the decision in a statement shared with her fans.

"Although we are disappointed in the jury's verdict, we, of course, respect their decision and appreciate their time hearing our case," Huger's lawyer, A. Scott Bolden, said on her behalf. "We continue to reserve Mrs. Huger's right to an appeal and intend to fully pursue justice."
