So far, Karen Huger has stayed on the periphery of the drama this season on Real Housewives of Potomac. She’s taking on that (faux) peacemaker role with some subtle instigation. Did she throw Robyn Dixon under the bus when she broadcast their private conversation to the entire cast? Or was she just putting her feelings out in the open so they can be resolved?
It’s debatable, but for the most part, Karen is pretty unscathed this season as she tries her hardest to be the queen of Potomac- a show that the Real Housewives fandom has not fully embraced. And that includes having opinions about everything and everyone.

Karen broke down the last RHOP episode in her Bravo blog post. As expected, she defended her conversation with Robyn and said, “It’s beyond absurd to me that Gizelle [Bryant] would be feeling a particular way about Robyn choosing to speak to me about their troubled friendship. She came to the right person! Robyn came to the Grande Dame to vent. Who else?” Oh, I don’t know, maybe to Gizelle herself. Or is that just too logical?
I do agree with this part though: “The writing was on the wall – these two needed to talk one on one NOW NOT LATER. Gizelle needs to seize this opportunity, save her friendship and thank me later.” Gizelle throwing away her friendship with her only ally on the show is pretty stupid, especially when she insults the rest of the cast to their faces and behind their backs. She really needed to sort things out with Robyn so she could have someone to back her up for the rest of the season.
Karen offers nothing but encouragement for Ashley Darby after she talked about her marriage struggles during the last episode. Seriously though: not one bit of shade. Karen admitted, “I know that Ashley and I have had our differences but I do consider her a friend. It’s never a good thing to hear a friend’s marriage is in trouble. Marriage isn’t easy, its work. I’ve been married quite some time and if there were any words of wisdom I could give Ashley it would be to figure out what’s really more important, the business or their marriage. If the marriage is the priority, then fight for your marriage.”
She was also pretty gracious when she touched Monique Samuels and her combative mother-in-law. She wrote, “Monique knows where she stands in her marriage. Chris [Samuels] has made it clear he loves her and she comes first. Mrs. Samuels is Chris’s Mom and you only get one Mom. It’s very smart of Monique to allow Mrs. Samuels to have her say today. I’m with Monique on this one – More Wine Please!!!!!”
TELL US- DO YOU THINK KAREN DID THE RIGHT THING BY MENTIONING HER CONVERSATION WITH ROBYN IN A GROUP SETTING? OR WAS SHE STIRRING THE POT?
