Karen Huger, a star of The Real Housewives of Potomac, was found guilty of several charges related to the incident, including DUI and DWI. After the verdict, Cohen shared his reaction, calling the situation “very sad.”
Karen Huger, 61, was arrested in March after a traffic stop in Maryland, where she was charged with DUI, DWI, and other offenses, including negligent driving and reckless driving. The charges stemmed from her actions behind the wheel, which police said endangered property, life, and other people.
On December 18, it was reported that Huger had been found guilty on all charges, except reckless driving. Her attorney, A. Scott Bolden, responded to the verdict by expressing disappointment but reiterated that they respected the jury’s decision. He added, “We continue to reserve Mrs. Huger’s right to an appeal and intend to fully pursue justice on her behalf.”
Huger’s legal team also thanked supporters for their prayers and support during this challenging time for her family.
Andy Cohen, who has been a long-time friend and colleague to many Real Housewives stars, was asked about Huger’s verdict during SiriusXM’s 10th Annual Radio Andy Holiday Hangout event in New York City. Speaking candidly, Cohen said, “I think it’s all sad,” and went on to admit, “I haven’t really processed it yet. But I think it’s very sad.”
While Cohen did not delve deeply into the details of the case, his brief but empathetic response underscores the emotional weight of the situation for all involved. As someone who has spent years working closely with the Real Housewivesfranchise, Cohen’s reaction adds a personal touch to the unfolding legal drama that has captivated fans and followers of The Real Housewives of Potomac.
In the aftermath of Huger’s guilty verdict, body cam footage from the police officers involved in her arrest was released. The footage, which was shared by local news outlets, revealed tense moments between Huger and the police during the stop.
As Karen Huger faces the consequences of her actions, the legal process continues. Huger is scheduled for sentencing on January 29, 2024, where the court will decide on the appropriate penalties for her charges.
Her legal team has made it clear that they are not giving up, noting that they are reserving the right to appeal the decision, indicating that the case may not be over just yet.
