Karen Huger Found Guilty of DUI: Attorney Planning Appeal Despite Shocking Testimonies and Past DUI

Karen Huger Found Guilty of DUI: Attorney Planning Appeal Despite Shocking Testimonies and Past DUI

Karen Huger, the standout star of The Real Housewives of Potomac, is facing serious legal consequences after being found guilty on nearly all counts of a DUI charge following a March incident in Maryland. While Huger has expressed disappointment in the jury’s verdict, she and her legal team respect the decision and plan to continue pursuing justice. As her sentencing date approaches, fans and the public are eager to know what comes next for the reality TV star.

The Charges Against Karen Huger

Karen Huger, 61, was charged with a series of offenses stemming from an incident on March 19, which included DUI (driving under the influence), DWI (driving while impaired), and reckless driving. Additional charges included:

  • Negligent Driving: Driving a vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner, endangering property, life, and persons.
  • Reckless Driving: Operating the vehicle in willful disregard for the safety of others.
  • Failure to Control Vehicle Speed: To avoid a collision on the highway.
  • Excessive Speed: Driving above reasonable and prudent speeds.
  • Suspended Registration: Driving a vehicle with suspended registration.
  • Failure to Notify Administration of Change of Address: Not informing authorities of her new address within the required time frame.

After a trial, Karen Huger was found guilty of all charges except for reckless driving, which was dismissed. She is scheduled for sentencing on January 29.

A Controversial Courtroom Drama

The courtroom proceedings were intense, with multiple witnesses providing testimony. One witness claimed that Huger’s car smelled strongly of alcohol, while an EMT who responded to the scene said Karen Huger was “swaying” when attempting to enter the ambulance. In what might have been an attempt to deflect from the seriousness of the situation, Huger allegedly used foul language toward the EMT, telling them to “f— off” and “go f— yourselves.” However, she also complimented a female firefighter moments later, calling her “so beautiful.”

In addition to witness testimony, the jury was shown bodycam footage where one officer allegedly told Huger she was “hammered,” a comment she vehemently denied on the tape, calling it “bulls—.” Despite the drama surrounding the case, Huger’s legal team continues to maintain that she is entitled to an appeal, signaling that the legal battle may not be over yet.

A Statement from Karen Huger’s Attorney

In a statement to PEOPLE, Huger’s attorney, A. Scott Bolden, expressed disappointment in the jury’s verdict but reiterated that they would respect the decision. Bolden, a partner at Reed Smith law firm, also emphasized that they plan to pursue an appeal, highlighting that Huger’s case is not concluded.

“We continue to reserve Mrs. Huger’s right to an appeal and intend to fully pursue justice on her behalf. We appreciate your support and prayers for Mrs. Huger and her family at this time,” said Bolden.

What’s Next for Karen Huger?

As her sentencing date nears, many are wondering how this legal battle will affect Huger’s future—both in the courtroom and on The Real Housewives of Potomac. While her legal team is holding onto hope for an appeal, the charges and trial could impact her public image and reputation.

The Real Housewives of Potomac airs Sundays on Bravo at 8 p.m. ET.

She’s WAYsted!!! Drunk & Bald is no way to get through life, Karen! She should at the very least have her license revoked.

The shame of Surrey County. . . .

Karen is LIT!!!! Intoxi-concubine. LOL. She clearly has a problem, BRAVO is not helping the situation by letting her avoid accountability. Her arresting cop face and camera footage is all the receipts needed to show guilt. Do you know who I AM!?!. . .a drunk. Get help, gurl.

Since Bravo kept Shannon, and actually built a season around her situation, they can't hardly get rid of Karen. But what's even more effed up is that both were most likely awarded quite hand$omely for allowing Bravo to exploit their situations.

Karen's video is quite damaging, Shannon was much luckier. . .but that JJ might. just get the last word; since history can repeat herself.

ITA, the damage to Karen's reputation is irreparable, although I'm not sure her demographic is all that bothered by it. Also, most of her relevance and "celebrity" is in her own delusional mind. The same with Shannon; 10 yrs. on reality TV and the average person couldn't pick either one of them out of a line up (pun intended:-)

Shannon has one arrest, Karen Booger has THREE for being a drunk w. H. Ore
AnEnigmaWrappedInSnark December 23, 2024 - 3:15 pm
Yes, but Karen is a WOC. Never gonna happen.

A woman her age, how shameful. And still not taking responsibility..
AnEnigmaWrappedInSnark December 19, 2024 - 2:13 pm
The repeated arrests indicate a pattern, which is bad enough, but then to have the audacity to continue denying it ... oh hell no. She needs to spend two or 12 months in jail. Maybe next time Huber will call an Uber.

She was freakin trashed, Jesus!!
AnEnigmaWrappedInSnark December 19, 2024 - 4:25 pm
Ridiculous ... a woman her age. So much to unravel here, who gets THAT trashed "visiting a girlfriend" on a freaking Tuesday night? Who let's their friend get behind the wheel of a car in that condition? Seems to me totaling her car is the least of Karen's problems. #AA

Exactly!!
Champagne Hangover December 21, 2024 - 3:41 pm
Did you watch all the footage? ?HOLY HELL! Even a drunk Shannon Beador going all Mike Tyson on Johnny J (who probably needed his @ss beat ?) ain’t got NOTHING on the jaw dropping audacity of this broad’s drunken f*ckery! ?Her poor husband! That man is an absolute saint for putting up with that insufferable narcissistic bat sh*t lush! Both David AND John deserved Shannon imo, but this dude? Nope, not one bit. ?

He’s a well trained codependent, this ain’t Uncle Ben’s first time to collect the contents of his inebriated wife’s purse from the venue parking lot
Champagne Hangover December 22, 2024 - 2:14 pm
You are probably correct there! But even he looked like, ‘Oh f*ck’ more than once when his idiot arrogant wife displayed her drunkenness to the cops in all its glory. Lol. I can’t help but to feel bad for him BUT dude is ride or die. No one but NO ONE could have blamed him if he said, ‘just take her drunk @ss away. I’m not wading through this b*tch’s vomit for Jack squat.’ He had her back, tho. ?
AnEnigmaWrappedInSnark December 23, 2024 - 3:20 pm
IKR? Even in the darkness of night, you could see old Ray was absolutely mortified. Oh to be a fly on the wall in the Huber residence when they got home.
Champagne Hangover December 23, 2024 - 6:04 pm
I can’t help to feel for Ray. I mean, there’s unfortunate then there’s THAT. ? Poor bastard! ?

She probably IS old enough to be Jefferson’s concubine!!!
Champagne Hangover December 21, 2024 - 3:27 pm
She even said to the arresting cop and I quote, ‘I’m lit.’ I mean, c’mon! There’s a time to just admit, ‘you know what I effed up.’ That time and place is probably well before saying to the cop who just arrested you for DUI and who had to assist your drunk @ss after stumbling getting out of his squad car, ‘I’m lit.’ ????
holy cannoli December 21, 2024 - 4:38 pm
I know, right?!
Champagne Hangover December 21, 2024 - 4:44 pm
Lol. Karen is such a lightweight that ‘two beers’ (you gotta love her hubby for tryin’ it) got her SO utterly sh*t faced that she tells the cop (like he ain’t noticed) that she’s good and drunk…and oh yeah, guilty AF of a crime. ????
Karen Booger December 19, 2024 - 12:53 pm
We all knew she was lying. Jail time PLEASE
