Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Potomac concluded with Karen Huger leaving jail following a six-month stay for DUI. A week after her release, Andy Cohen showed up at her house, and the two had an intimate discussion about her case. Her former costar, Robyn Dixon, was sitting on her couch, watching the episode along with the rest of us, and she wasn’t impressed with what she saw.
Robyn Dixon says Karen Huger delivered “a lot of deflection”
In the hour-long RHOP special. Karen spoke in depth about her substance abuse struggles, which she said have plagued her for a long time. Karen admitted that she struggles with both alcohol and prescription pills and felt hesitant about labeling herself as an “alcoholic.“ She also shared how a sexual assault at 19 may have stunted her emotional growth.
Although Karen was vulnerable in the sitdown, reactions from fans were mixed. Some people felt like Karen showed a new and improved version of herself. Others felt like she fell short when it came to taking accountability.
Robyn found herself in the latter camp and shared her thoughts on the February 9 episode of her Reasonably Shady podcast. She felt like Karen was up to her same old antics.
“What I wanted to really see from Karen was a sincere apology or a sincere acknowledgement,” Robyn said of the DUI.
Instead, we saw Karen try to clarify her history with DUIs. She claimed she only had one DUI, despite headlines indicating four. She also said that her latest incident was the result of her trying to “escape” her unhappy life. Robyn wasn’t buying it.
“What I felt like I saw was a lot of blame shifting and a lot of deflection,” Robyn added.
Another part of the interview that Robyn took issue with was when Karen started throwing shade at Wendy Osefo. Robyn felt like it was an example of unnecessary deflection. The focus should have been on showing remorse and humility rather than finding a storyline for Season 11.
“Let’s just take accountability and let’s not deflect,” Robyn added. “Let’s address the topic head-on and be remorseful, and let’s try to send a message to the people out here who have lost loved ones from drunk drivers.”
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo. You can stream it the next day on Peacock.
