Karen Huger, star of Bravo's 'Real Housewives of Potomac', is facing eight charges related to a drunk driving incident in March 2024. Witnesses testified in court about the accident and Huger's alleged behavior, including refusing medical treatment and using profanity towards first responders.
A 'Real Housewives of Potomac' star is on trial this week after an alleged drunk driving incident in March resulted in a car wreck. Karen Huger , 61, faces eight charges total, including Driving a Vehicle While Impaired by Alcohol and Driving a Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol.

Other witnesses who testified in court Tuesday included a volunteer EMT who responded that night, along with two police officers.The EMT told the jury, that Huger refused treatment on the scene and 'swayed' as she tried to get into the ambulance. Once inside the ambulance, she testified Huger used profanity towards the first responders.The EMT testified, that Huger told them to 'f—k off' and 'go f--k yourselves' on more than one occasion. However, she would also compliment a female firefighter a few minutes later.'You’re so pretty, and you’re so beautiful,' the EMT told the jury, referring to Huger’s alleged statements.In court Tuesday, body camera footage was also shown to the jury. The body camera was worn by an officer who arrested Huger.
