Karen Huger’s champagne flute may be confiscated. After being found guilty in her DUI trial, The Real Housewives of Potomac star is reportedly in jeopardy of being fired, at least per Page Six. A source told the outlet: “She would need to clean up her act for Bravo to move forward with her, but no official casting conversations have taken place.” The Season 9 reunion is scheduled to take place this month, and she’s set to be sentenced just days after the reunion special. Huger, who had another DUI more than 10 years ago, faces two years in prison.
Regarding her first DUI, she opened up to Bossip previously, telling the media outlet: “Technically, I wasn’t driving. I was pulled over into a parked area where you should not park. I turned off the car, and I called my husband. However, the teddy bear cops found me first, and I collected my DUI. I said when I took this project, I own everything about me that makes me, me,” she said. “What makes me this woman people can look at? You have ups and downs, curves. The thing is, in life, you still stand, and I’m still standing.”
