It was a shocking turn of events for fans of Bravo’s hit series, The Real Housewives of Potomac, as it was revealed that housewife Karen Huger would be missing the season 9 reunion. Speculation surrounding her absence was put to rest when her manager confirmed that Karen had checked into a rehab facility. The decision was described as “important” and Karen was said to be “fully supported” in her choice to seek recovery.
The news of Karen’s rehab stint comes hot on the heels of a DUI charge that she was found guilty of following a car accident in Maryland last March. The DUI videos that surfaced painted a troubling picture of Karen behind the wheel, sparking concern among fans and the public alike. The repercussions of the incident likely weighed heavily on Karen’s decision to seek help and prioritize her mental and physical well-being.
Karen’s absence at the reunion was felt by all, as her vibrant personality and bold presence are always a highlight of the show. Her castmates and fans alike will surely miss her sharp wit and glamorous flair on screen. However, her health and well-being clearly take precedence over any reality TV drama, and her decision to enter rehab should be commended.
As Karen focuses on her recovery and self-care, we can only hope for her speedy return to the Potomac scene. Her strength and resilience in facing her struggles head-on are truly admirable, and we wish her nothing but the best on her journey to wellness. Stay strong, Karen – we’ll be rooting for you every step of the way.

Video “RHOP's Karen Huger in Rehab, Skips Reunion After Shocking DUI Videos Surface” was uploaded on 01/11/2025 to Youtube Channel Entertainment Tonight
SHE DID NOT JUST ASK THE COP DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! That just proves she’s going to do it again
After watching the whole videos ( body cam, interrogation room ) I don’t understand how her attorney would advise her to go to trial 😩😩
Prayers to Karen and to others who are dealing with this type of situation 🙏🏼
I mean that wig or weave is in the middle of her head Lord…….😮😮
Honestly I think she should have went to rehab when this first happened…Karen is giving Karen behavior trying to go to trial as if she really was innocent.. She really didn't want to go to that Reunion where she was going to get roasted.. So of course rehab was a great option for her…
Karen was drunk as a skunk!!!!
Unfortunately People continue to Drink drive, I dont have pitty for these adults that make those choices! Unbelievable
She’s spent the season so far stating that she doesn’t have a problem with alcohol. So choosing to go to rehab now a year later is literally for the purpose of two things – avoiding taking accountability at the reunion/being destroyed at the reunion AND trying to get her jail time reduced
I know Giselle and Robyn iMessages were lit!
They should fire her, she should have showed up for the reunion.
Perfect timing for Karen to start rehab! This is her second DUI and now the reunion is on has decided to go to rehab…?
Karen is very manipulative.. wants to avoid all the questions !
Karen’s trying to avoid jail..
Great news Karen your taking your first steps to a better life! So proud of you👍🏻
😲
Yeah because she knew they were going to roast her ass at the reunion
Shows no matter how much money or fame we NEED CHRIST
I would like to believe the bs coming out ff her mouth but 5his isn't her first dui. She went to rehab bc she knew she was going to jail . Her lawyer gave her good advice he will file a postponement for sentencing Karen will do her aa classes get her certificates and she will get comm. Service and probation
Glad she's in rehab. I saw that awful video of her arrest, and she needs rehab!
Timing of entering rehab is suspicious, sentencing coming and lets all be honest she doesn’t want to address that video at the reunion.
My cousin was hit by a drunk driver.
Her wig starts at the top of her head 😆
I knew she would cower from going to the reunion. She can’t accept she was found guilty and I know she saw them videos, so how the hell would she face the reunion and have her feet held to the fire…she won’t
She should've showed up regardless to face the music.
What i get from this is that i think Karen needed a new husband that was her age and that could love her physcially. Ray cannot do that because he is too old for her. So karen was unhappy deep down. Drinking a lot is a sign that a person is unhappy because they cant get what they really want. If a person is drunk and rich then we all know that they already can get and do get what they crave for, but they dont stop. They cant stop, so years go by and just when they least expect it. The lord shows up and wipes them out, because they thought that they could get away with it right up to 100 years old and beyond. If there was no alcohol in every place of the world. What would happen? A better place, but my point is , he lord owns this world and he will fuck people up when they least expect it. No one, gets away with anything. Man, woman or child.
Karen being a Karen
That wig almost fell off her head🤦🏿♀️
The lack of accountability and spending the season and the following months insisting that she will be vindicated and therefore showing no remorse for her criminal behaviour seriously gets to me. This is not her first DUI offense and she proceeded to want to defend her inexcusable behaviour.
How could Karen not learn sooner from the events of that night? It shouldn't have taken a guilty verdict a year later for her to take accountability and get help.
