“Real Housewives of Potomac” star Karen Huger was sentenced to one year behind bars after crashing her Maserati while drunk. The incident occurred in March 2024 in Potomac, Maryland, and Huger was convicted of driving under the influence. The judge also imposed fines, probation, and a one-year driving ban. Huger was described as a repeat offender with three previous alcohol-related traffic cases, but none had resulted in jail time. Prosecutors had requested six months in jail, while defense lawyers sought rehabilitation instead of jail time. Huger appeared to struggle with balance and speech in footage captured by a police officer’s body camera after the crash. She did not appear on the show’s reunion episodes and announced she was seeking treatment for drinking and anti-depressant issues. State’s Attorney John McCarthy emphasized the seriousness of driving under the influence and encouraged the public to drive sober. Huger’s sentence included a year in jail, with one year suspended, and the possibility of being sent back to jail if she violates probation. She was remanded into custody after the sentencing.
