Karen Huger was convicted of DUI, Reckless Driving, and Operating a Vehicle with Suspended Registration.
Urban Belle has breaking news regarding “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Karen Huger regarding her ongoing DUI case. This past Wednesday night, a jury found Karen guilty on all seven charges. Karen’s charges included multiple Driving Under the Influence, negligent and reckless driving, and driving with a suspended license.
According to Fox 5 DC, before the trial ended, Karen’s cousin testified. The cousin testified that she disclosed personal matters over the phone while driving. However, he did not express concern about Karen’s driving and he didn’t hear her slur words. Police and EMT, during their testimony, claimed Karen was incoherent and uncooperative when they were on the scene of the accident. Per Fox 5 DC, the cousins’ testimony was considered significant. However, comments made by Karen’s husband, Ray Huger, may have helped prosecutors land convictions on all seven counts.
A shocking revelation during the trial emerged regarding Karen’s husband, Ray Huger.
Police body cam video was presented during the trial. The Fox 5 DC reporter claims in the bodycam video, Ray suggested Karen had “probably more to drink than she should have.” Surprisingly, Karen agreed with Ray at the scene.
As a result of the guilty sentence, Karen faces two years in prison. The sentencing will occur on January 29th. Before the trial started, Karen’s attorneys lost a motion to exclude footage from the accident scene and investigation as evidence. Please check out the report from Fox 5 DC below for details.
As of now, Karen, Bravo, nor RHOP production released a statement addressing the recent conviction.
UPDATE: Bodycam footage of the accident scene and Karen’s interrogation after the accident were released to the public.

Smh. I hope Karen gets the help she needs. She’s lucky she didn’t hurt herself or anyone else. She may not be so fortunate if there’s a next time.
Yikes. She should have just pled guilty.
