Just like the rest of us, Ashley Darby was completely shocked when she saw the bodycam footage of Karen Huger’s arrest. The slurred speech, incriminating confessions, and those wild “concubine” comments — it was a lot to process.
During a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, the Real Housewives of Potomac star shared her thoughts about Karen’s case and revealed how a random run-in with Karen’s lawyer left her with even more questions.
Ashley Darby says something isn’t “adding up” with Karen Huger’s court case
Throughout Season 9 of RHOP, Karen made it seem like she’d be vindicated in her DUI court case. Instead, she got hit with a guilty verdict and the public release of the body cam footage that she didn’t want anyone to see. On WWHL, Ashley shared her thoughts on the mess.
Andy Cohen asked, “What was your reaction to Karen’s DUI verdict and video that came out and everything?”
“Pure shock, Andy,” Ashley replied. “We had actually seen Karen’s lawyer out and about a few weeks before.”
The “Healing and Thriving” singer explained that she was out with Robyn Dixon and Gizelle Bryant when they bumped into the lawyer. He reassured the ladies that everything would work out in Karen’s favor once they had her day in court. That prediction aged like milk, and now Ashley is confused.
“We thought they had this in the bag,” Ashley admitted. “We thought they knew what they were doing.”
She continued, “When that footage aired, and we saw everything that transpired, we wondered, ‘How on Earth did they decide to go to trial?'”
According to Ashley, something isn’t adding up, and it might be a while before we get any answers from Karen. She was a no-show at the Season 9 reunion, and her reps confirmed that she checked into a rehab program.
The Real Housewives of Potomac airs every Sunday on Bravo at 8/7c.
