Real Housewives of Potomac star Karen Huger is going to jail.
Karen will serve (up to) one year behind bars, one year of suspension, and five years of probation. Her sentencing can be reduced with good behavior.
Boots on the ground:
Taria S. Faison from the What Else is Going On Podcast was at the courthouse. “As Karen was being taken into custody she yelled, ‘Love you, Ray. God’s got you. You’ll be alright. GOOD bless you!”
ICYMI:
In Touch obtained court documents that showed Karen’s legal team asked the Judge to give her grace with her sentencing.
According to court documents, Karen’s lawyers used her parents deaths in her defense. “Ms. Huger’s mother died on Thanksgiving morning in 2017 of kidney failure and sepsis. Her father died seven months later on June 28, 2018 from the complications of Alzheimer’s and ‘of a broken heart.”
“For many months, Ms. Huger was hoping to explain that she believes she drank in moderation; however, her difficulties that evening were the product of a combination of alcohol and a prescribed anti-depressant medication for depression.”

Karen’s lawyers said, “Ms. Huger reports she started taking the prescribed medication following her rape in college. She felt she was able to continue to drink in moderation in social settings.”
Karen’s DUI history:
In response, the prosecutors pointed out she, “has two prior DUI/DWI convictions plus a third one that was pled down to a reckless driving.”
“Ms. Huger is extremely lucky that neither she nor anyone else was seriously injured or even killed during this incident. In spite of this, Ms. Huger does not appear to have taken any steps whatsoever to take accountability for her actions on March 19, 2024. In the nine months leading up to trial she did not enroll herself into any type of alcohol treatment program or support group.”
