Potomac, Md. — Karen Huger, a star from the hit television show “Real Housewives of Potomac,” has been convicted of several charges related to a driving while under the influence incident in Maryland this past March. The 61-year-old TV personality faced a jury that found her guilty on multiple counts following a vehicular mishap.
Huger’s legal representative, A. Scott Bolden, expressed disappointment in the jury’s decision but acknowledged respect for the legal process. “We intend to explore all available options to pursue justice for Mrs. Huger,” Bolden stated, underscoring a continued commitment to challenge the verdict.
During the incident on March 19, Huger was accused of multiple driving offenses, including DUI and DWI, negligent driving, and several other traffic-related violations. Authorities detailed that she struck multiple street signs during the event without sustaining injuries. Following the crash, Montgomery County Police confirmed Huger’s involvement in the single-vehicle incident.
In addition to the primary charges, Huger was confronted with several secondary accusations such as failing to control vehicle speed, driving a vehicle with a suspended registration, and not notifying the administration of an address change within the required 30-day period. She was acquitted of the reckless driving charge, notably.
According to a police spokesperson shortly after the crash, Huger was reportedly driving aggressively and had a high vehicular speed before the collision. Although she was not arrested, she received multiple citations.
Witness testimonies during the court proceedings painted a vivid picture of the incident’s aftermath. Observations included an alleged smell of alcohol in Huger’s car and her refusal for medical treatment, where she reportedly uttered harsh words to first responders. A bodycam footage viewed during the trial showed an officer commenting on Huger’s condition that night, which she fervently denied.
In statements to media, Huger explained her emotional state was fragile at the time of the accident due to recent personal tragedies and the impending Mother’s Day, which brought up painful memories. She narrated an attempt to avoid a collision with another car, leading to her vehicle hitting a divider and a tree. Thankfully, she was mostly unharmed except for minor bruises.
Following these events, Huger advised her supporters on the significance of being cautious and aware of one’s emotional state when driving. She credited the support of her deceased mother and her seatbelt in safeguarding her during the accident.
As these legal proceedings unfold, Huger’s ordeal continues to be a central theme in the ongoing season of “The Real Housewives of Potomac,” attracting significant viewer attention to her personal and legal challenges.
