It’s a great day for “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Karen Huger. Earlier today, Karen was released from the Montgomery County Detention Center in Maryland. Karen was sentenced to two years in prison, with one year suspended, in February after she was convicted of DUI. The judge also ordered Karen to pay $2,900 in fines.
Karen served six months of her sentence and, according to sources, was released early due to good behavior.
To no surprise, Karen was in good spirits as she was seen by fans and reporters leaving the facility. She got her hair and makeup done before release, and the Bravo cameras were there to catch everything. So it’s likely footage will be aired later when “Real Housewives of Potomac” returns for Season 10 in October.

I’m happy for her. She needs to never drink and drive again.
I wouldn’t want to drink EVER again!
Good. Hope she learned her lesson though. She could have killed somebody and herself.
I love Karen !!!!!
I am so proud of Queen Karen for taking accountability & doing what she needed to do to set an example for others. I hope Karen remembers that if she is going to have even 1 drink or be tempted to have 1 drink…CALL FOR A LYFT OR UBER. I don’t have nearly as much money as Karen does, but I know how to call a car when I am going to be out socializing. Can’t wait until she resumes her spot on RHOP!!
I’m a bit perplexed. It always amazes me for people to be so excited behind celebrities’ bad behavior. I even read someone stating they were proud of her for being accountable. But the funny part is, she wasn’t! She first tried to lie and said she wasn’t drinking or actually drunk. That was a lie! She even continued her lie on RHOP. Then she would cover by saying she couldn’t discuss it, but she knew the truth would prevail. Well actually that was the one and only truth. It prevailed alright sending her where she was supposed to go! She thought her celebrity was going to get her out of it! Also, she loves to bring up other housewives’ personal issues but when it comes to here, back off. Well so called Grand Dame, the jokes on you! Hopefully you learned your lesson…
I’m happy for Karen and her family. She served her time. Next!
