Karen Huger Sentenced to One Year in Jail for DUI Conviction

The 'Real Housewives of Potomac' star faces legal consequences following a 2024 car crash and multiple charges, including driving under the influence.

Karen Huger, 61, was sentenced to two years in jail with one year suspended after being found guilty on multiple charges related to a March 2024 DUI incident in Maryland.
The charges stemmed from a single-vehicle crash in which Huger struck street signs with her Maserati; police bodycam footage showed her visibly intoxicated.
This marks Huger’s fourth alcohol-related traffic offense in 17 years, leading to additional penalties, including a $2,900 fine, a one-year driving ban post-release, and five years of probation with an ignition interlock requirement.
Huger entered a private recovery program in January 2025 and missed the Season 9 reunion of 'Real Housewives of Potomac,' where her legal troubles were a central storyline.
Several of Huger’s castmates expressed concern and support, while critics and fans debated her accountability and the potential impact on her future with the Bravo franchise.
