Since the guilty verdict on DUI charges last month, fans have been wondering whether Karen Huger will still participate in The Real Housewives of Potomac season 9 reunion.
While it is unknown yet whether Huger will remain as a cast member in future seasons amid her legal issues, her reunion appearance is the biggest question as the taping is close to the date of her sentencing.
Is Karen Huger Joining or Skipping The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9 Reunion?
In a recent Instagram post, Bravo posted the seating charts for The Real Housewives of Potomac season 9 reunion when it was filmed in New York City last January 9.
Huger was notably absent as she was not pictured alongside the other cast members, suggesting that she was not part of the taping.
Huger's manager Ryan Tresdale eventually released a statement confirming that she did not attend the taping of the season 9 reunion as she decided to enter rehab.
"Karen made the important decision to enter a private recovery program, so was unable to attend the reunion taping today. She was fully supported in this choice," he said.
"We stand behind Karen as she embarks on this meaningful journey and are proud of her for taking such a significant step forward in her personal growth."
It remains unknown whether Huger will still be involved in the reunion through a pre-taped message filmed before her rehab stint.
