Karen Huger’s recent DUI sentencing has been the subject of much discussion, and none more pointed than Andy Cohen’s remarks during his latest live broadcast. The Real Housewives of Potomac star’s legal troubles have now reached a new chapter, and Andy Cohen, a long-time fan of Karen, didn’t mince words about the situation.
While the details surrounding Karen’s DUI conviction have been troubling for many, it was her fourth offense that made the consequences even more severe. Cohen, who has often been a supporter of Karen, shared his sadness about how things have played out for her. “I’ve been thinking about her a lot, and I’m so sad about this. I’m so sad about how this entire thing has played out. I am a Karen fan,” Cohen said during the live show.
However, the SiriusXM host didn’t stop at offering sympathy; he went on to question the handling of Karen’s case by her legal team. After hearing a comment from RHOP star Gizelle Bryant during the reunion, which revealed that Karen was offered a plea deal that included home confinement, Cohen couldn’t help but wonder why her lawyers had chosen to take the case to trial.
“I’m so sad about this… Drunk driving is no joke. It’s so bad, so that this was her fourth situation was tough to hear,” Andy Cohen remarked. “I’m not surprised that the judge was not playing, you know? I’m not surprised at all. And then hearing what I heard on the reunion last night from Gizelle, who said that she heard that she was offered a plea and home confinement for six months… Who were her lawyers that were recommending to go to trial on this when they knew there was body cam footage like that? I mean, it’s so sad.”
Cohen’s frustration is palpable as he questions the decisions made by Karen’s legal team, a sentiment that many fans of the show and Karen alike are likely to echo. The entire situation has brought a harsh dose of reality to the glamorous world of reality TV, reminding everyone that the stakes are always higher than they may appear on screen.
