A source claimed that Karen Huger is “terrified” of being singled out in prison, and she’s “drowning in legal bills” as she faces panic attacks and insomnia after her recent conviction.

Last month, the Real Housewives of Potomac star was sentenced to two years in prison with one year suspended. Following her accident last March, the star was found guilty of negligent driving, failure to control speed, and driving under the influence. She’s now reportedly at Maryland’s Montgomery County Correctional Facility.

“[Karen]’s terrified what will become of her,” said a source speaking to Radar. “She’s a celebrity, and quite rightly, she’ll be singled out as a target [by other inmates].”

According to the source, Karen expected to get only a few months, not a year.

“She’s just a skinny, bony thing – how will she defend herself?” asked the source. “[Her] blood must have run cold when the sentence was handed down … But the other Housewives were saying, ‘What did she expect?’ It was her fourth DUI!”

“The hope is that she gets out early for good behavior, but that’s not a comfort,” they added.

A different source stated, “One year seems like a lifetime [to Karen] … She’s also drowning in legal bills. She’s having total panic attacks, insomnia, and not eating … It’s one big nightmare and going to be brutal after living a life of luxury.”

Back in January, before Karen was sentenced, her co-stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon reacted to the conviction.

“What do we think Karen Huger’s sentence will be?” Robyn asked at the time on her Reasonably Shady podcast.

“I don’t know,” Gizelle responded. “I’m going to predict the best. Yes, whatever that means.”

“I predict 60 days in jail,” said Robyn. “And then when she gets out, like at least a year of not being able to drive. Or blowing into the thing before you can drive.”

“Yeah, or like community service, like let’s clean the highway,” Gizelle added.

“We also can’t have this happen again. Apparently, this is her fourth time? Her fourth DUI, I believe I heard,” said Robyn. “This can’t happen again. It cannot. It can’t.”
