We still haven’t fully recovered from the news of Karen Huger’s guilty verdict. The Grande Dame of The Real Housewives of Potomac could be going to jail! This is a crisis, but Mia Thornton isn’t surprised by any of it. According to her, she knew all along that Karen would be found guilty. It was just a matter of time for the rest of the world to catch up.
Guilty all along
During a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Mia was asked to weigh in on Karen’s guilty verdict. That’s when she confessed that she wasn’t shocked by the verdict, even though Karen spent most of Season 9 downplaying her legal troubles.
“Oh, my gosh. Listen, I always knew she was guilty,” Mia told Andy Cohen. “Sorry, I did.”
Of course, we all knew that Karen crashed her car that night. There was no hiding that. However, no one could have predicted that the body-cam footage from her arrest would be as humiliating as it was. Mia thinks the embarrassment could have all been avoided had she been more forthcoming in the first place.
“It’s very, very sad,” Mia continued. “I really feel like if she would have just owned up to what she did, then we would not know.”
Although Mia thinks Karen could have done a better job, she’s happy with the steps that Karen has taken more recently. The Grande Dame skipped the Season 9 reunion after checking into a recovery program. Mia said she’s “happy” about that.
“I want her to get the help that she needs,” Mia added.
If the courts allow it, Mia said she “would love” to see Karen come back for another season of RHOP. Her sentencing hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, January 29. She faces up to two years behind bars.
The Real Housewives of Potomac continues on Bravo, every Sunday night at 8/7c.
