Though Karen Huger wasn’t physically at The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 9 reunion, her presence is felt both literally and figuratively in the reunion trailer.
The housewives– Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, Dr. Wendy Osefo, Mia Thornton, Stacey Rusch, Keiarna Stewart– gather for the reunion, which also features appearances from friends Jacqueline Blake and Jassi Rideaux.
While Huger is not there herself (news came out last month that she voluntarily checked into rehab as she is pending sentencing on her DUI conviction), she submits a video that is played and the cast has emotional reactions and also discusses her season and what they think will happen to her if she goes to jail.
According to the official description of the reunion the ladies, “flash back on all the fun and games throughout the season, but take each other to task for their shenanigans. And though Karen Huger is not present to answer the women’s pressing questions, the Grande Dame’s persona leaves a lasting effect on the group dynamics.”
The trailer also showcases the women going hard at Thornton for her behavior during and after the season, while Darby, Thornton and Rusch all talk about the status of their divorces. Rusch and Stewart also get questions about their current relationships and much more.
