Karen Huger Says She’s ‘Healed’ Following DUI Jail Sentence
Shepherd opened up the interview by complimenting Huger’s appearance, to which the reality star remarked that her outer appearance is due to now being “healed” from her decades-long battle with alcohol and prescription drug addiction.
“This is not a reflection of what God has done for me since I healed myself,” she told Shepherd.
When pressed about her actions leading to her jail sentence, Huger added, “No one should drink and drive. I was wrong. Okay. I was absolutely dead wrong. I’m so grateful no one was killed.”

Huger States She Was Only Drunk On ‘RHOP’ Once On Camera
Huger then shifted to her “RHOP” cast mates and told Shepherd that the only time she was ever drunk on camera was during a gathering at Monique Samuels’ home, which fans of the show know is far from accurate, as Huger has been seen numerous times throughout the show’s 10 seasons being heavily intoxicated.
“Whether I return remains to be seen,” the reality star said of her future on the long-running Bravo hit, stopping short of confirming her season 11 full-time return, as contracts have yet to go out,
However, she did tell Shepherd why she decided against telling her cast mates about her jail time.
“I told them absolutely nothing,” she said. “Because they need a storyline, and I’m quite often it.”

Karen Huger Previously Did A One-On-One Interview With Andy Cohen

During their February 1 sit-down interview in Huger’s home, Cohen asked her a myriad of questions about her life in jail, her history with addiction, and more.
However, fans were most shocked when she shared the current state of her marriage to husband Ray Huger.
Huger told Cohen that following her jail stint Ray, “has a totally different wife now,” and that currently their marriage is a “work-in-progress.”
“He has a stranger,” she continued. “Ray said that if, after I got the monkey off my back, and we decided not to be together, he could let me go. He wouldn’t want to let me go, but if, for some reason, we find out that we’ve done the best we could on this course, he would let me go.”

Karen Huger And Wendy Osefo Have A ‘Brutal’ Showdown On ‘RHOP’ Reunion

During her recent appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” cast member Stacey Rusch revealed that despite Huger’s happiness to be home, that didn’t stop her from verbally sparring with Osefo.
When Cohen presented her with a fan question of who Huger was the least excited to see at the reunion, Rusch promptly responded that it was Osefo, an encounter that she described as “brutal.” Cohen also quickly co-signed her recollection of what went down between the two, adding that “it was a lot.”
“RHOP” fans will recall that at the season 9 reunion last year, Huger taped a special video message for her castmates and thanked them as she was awaiting sentencing, but she notably left Osefo’s name out of her message.

The bad blood has clearly lingered between them, and now fans will get to see just how bad things got between them at the reunion that was taped late last month.
The Dynamic On ‘RHOP’ Has Changed Since Huger Was Last A Member Of The Cast

In her absence, things among the ‘RHOP’ ladies have changed, as new cast members have been added and new alliances have been formed. When Huger was last on the show, newbies Angel Massie and Tia Glover, and former full-time cast member Monique Samuels, were not there.
Additionally, the white flag truce between Gizelle Bryant and Osefo was not nearly as evident as it is now. Then there is the dynamic between Rusch and most of the ladies, as she has been consistently accused of lying all season.
