The Real Housewives of Potomac’s Gizelle Bryant is reacting to costar Karen Huger’s recent jail sentence.
"I am shook,” Bryant, 54, said during her Gizelle 21 Shady Questions Live at City Winery event on Wednesday, February 26. “This just happened today. I do not have her wigs. I am concerned. In all seriousness, I am concerned for her safety. Karen ain’t cut out for jail.”
She added, “I pray that she’s OK and that the Lord is with her.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Huger was sentenced to two years in jail with one year suspended, meaning she will spend one year behind bars. She was ordered to report directly to police custody.
The Bravo personality had been charged with a DUI, a DWI and reckless driving after a March 2024 car accident. She was found guilty on nearly all charges — except the count of driving recklessly — in December 2024.
“Although we are disappointed in the jury’s verdict, we of course respect their decision and appreciate their time hearing our case,” Huger’s lawyer A. Scott Bolden said in a statement at the time. “We continue to reserve Mrs. Huger’s right to an appeal and intend to fully pursue justice on her behalf. We appreciate your support and prayers for Mrs. Huger and her family at this time.”
During Wednesday’s hearing, Huger’s attorney further claimed that the “overuse of prescription medicine” had caused the traffic incident.
Following the trial, Huger opted to skip the RHOP reunion in January in order to seek help at an in-treatment recovery program.
“She was fully supported in this choice,” Huger’s rep said in a statement. “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.”
The Bravo star also recorded a message that aired during the reunion, in which she took accountability for her actions.
