Karen Huger and Jacqueline Blake were involved in a heated argument on Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Potomac.
After Gizelle Bryant, 54, sparked a conversation between Jacqueline, 39, and Jassi Rideaux about Jacqueline being a potential sidekick to Mia Thornton, 39, Karen, 61, called out Jacqueline for suggesting that she sounded drunk during a phone call amid her DUI drama.
“When the ladies heard you on the plane say that I’m Mia’s sidekick … I felt a little attacked because I feel like some of the ladies have been given a connotation that I’m living in Mia’s shadow,” Jacqueline told Jassi on the October 27 episode of RHOP.
“They were listening too hard. That was never said,” Jassi replied.
Jacqueline went on to describe herself as the “main course,” telling her castmate, “I’m giving it … the hair the body, the intellect, the finesse, I’m giving it. There is no sidekick here, honey.”
At that point, Karen pulled back from her chair, seemingly triggered by Jacqueline’s claims.
Then, after Jassi explained that her comment about Jacqueline being a sidekick was actually a joke about herself, sharing that she would be “an even better sidekick” to Mia, Gizelle wondered in a confessional, “You’re fighting to be a sidekick?”
Back in the scene, as she leaned over to Gizelle, Karen asked, “Where is this heat coming from? Because Jassi is cool.”
As Jacqueline and Jassi continued to go back and forth, Karen noted in a confessional that “Jacqueline is weirdly obsessed with Mia.”
Then, as Mia prepared to welcome friends to an upcoming party but revealed that Jacqueline was not on good terms with many of them, Stacey Rusch told Jacqueline, “You have a lot of beef with a lot of people,” and Karen agreed.
“I have been a friend to Jacqueline and I feel that she is not a friend. I wanna be transparent in front of the whole group. When you came to me the night before my party for a phone call, you were seeking my advice. No one was drunk at that phone call. I see you,” Karen declared.
While Gizelle attempted to defend Jacqueline, stating that what she’d said was “not malicious or mean,” Jacqueline complained that she didn’t want to have any further conversations about the topic because Karen “doesn’t hear anything that [she has] to say.”
“You were lying. You’re a liar. And this is why I don’t f*ck with you!” Karen replied.
“Then don’t f*ck with me, Karen, because you’re deflecting about a lot of things and let’s be honest,” Jacqueline fired back. “Do not call me a liar.”
“You are a liar,” Karen continued. “I’ll call you a liar all day long, all night long. I’ve been nothing but a friend to you.”
In a confessional, Karen continued her rant against Jacqueline, telling cameras, “I tried to be helpful. This is how you repay me, you backstabbing heifer? I really don’t care, though, cause Jacqueline is irrelevant.”
Meanwhile, in a confessional of her own, Gizelle targeted Karen.
“This is actually Karen being, one, a mean girl, and two, you’re just deflecting, don’t want anybody to talk about you. And I’m not deflecting. I still know, Karen, that you have a court case,” Gizelle noted.
“What the f*ck have I done to you for you to lie on me? Shut up!” Karen demanded back in the scene. “Don’t f*ck with me because you are a flipper and I don’t f*ck with flippers.”
“I’m not lying on you … I’m not that kind of person. I’m really not,” Jacqueline insisted as she began to cry. “No!”
“I’m on the receiving end and I don’t buy it. You can cry til the cows come home. I don’t give a f*ck,” Karen went on.
Then, after Jacqueline stated that she was “not the only one that was concerned” about Karen amid her DUI, Mia agreed, saying, “We all were concerned.”
As the scene came to a close, Karen told the cameras, “People judging me is the least of my worries. When have you ever known the grande dame to crumble? Never, and it ain’t gonna happen.”
The Real Housewives of Potomac season nine airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
