'RHOP' Star Karen Huger Spotted for First Time Since Leaving Jail as Bravo Reportedly Films Her Exit

Real Housewives of Potomac star Karen Huger has been spotted for the first time since getting out of the slammer.

Instagram user @thehairdoc shared footage of the Grande Dame of Potomac getting her hair done.

Bravo cameras reportedly showed up to film Huger for RHOP as she departed jail. In the videos shown, Huger waved to fans from a car with a big smile on her face.

As OK! previously reported, Huger left prison on September 2 after serving six months behind bars.

In December 2024, Huger was found guilty of a DUI and was sentenced to two years in prison with one year suspended. She was due to serve a full 365 days but was released early.

Huger was arrested on March 19, 2024, after crashing her car into a tree in Montgomery County, Md.

After police suspected she had been drinking, the reality starlet was taken into custody and charged with driving under the influence, negligently driving a vehicle in a careless and imprudent manner, endangering property, life and person, and other counts.

On March 20, 2024, Huger broke her silence on the ordeal via Instagram with the following statement: “Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this very frightening experience. I am still in shock from last night’s incident, but grateful to be alive today. With the passing of my beloved Mother, grief comes and goes in waves, and with Mother’s Day approaching it has felt more like a tsunami.”

She shared she’d “met a girlfriend for dinner” and their talk “brought up some very emotionally sensitive topics.”

“I was crying on my way home and saw a car heading right for me,” she continued. “I swerved to avoid the head-on collision, hit the divider, and then a tree. I’m hurt, bruised up a bit, but so grateful I am alive! I did receive citations, one of which was unrelated to the incident, which is understandable, but what was most surprising is that the car that almost hit me just drove away!”

She concluded by advising followers to “understand” their “emotional state” when driving and to remember to wear their seatbelts.

“My Mother may be my Guardian Angel, but the seatbelt saved my life,” she added.

On December 18, 2024, a jury found Huger guilty of driving under the influence, negligent driving and failure to control speed to avoid collision. They dismissed the charge of reckless driving.

Though filming for Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Potomac has wrapped, it wouldn’t be surprising if Bravo tags on some footage of Huger leaving jail at the end of the season.
