Season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac has Karen Huger, and her DUI, in the middle of the drama. Mostly because Karen doesn’t seem able to admit that she made a mistake. This is driving her co-stars bananas, as Karen is quick to call them out on their missteps. So, Mia Thornton found a very public way to get back at Karen.
Mia Thornton’s “butt dial” story Karen Huger tried to explain away
Recently, Mia was a guest on Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast. And she broke down why she brought up Karen’s “butt dial” during the girls’ trip to Lake Norman. During a recent episode of RHOP, Mia told the group that after a night out with her and her friend Joy, Karen butt-dialed them. And she was apparently with someone else. Karen allegedly remarked, “Those girls think I’m with Ray [Huger].” Plus, the streets have been chattering about Karen and Ray’s marriage for a while.
Of course, Karen had zero memory of this incident. Right away, she told the group that she was probably talking with her driver. She claimed that she had pulled over and asked her driver to come and pick her up. While this event happened three years ago, Mia dropped the real bomb in her confessional. The “butt-dial” happened the next morning!
So, why did Mia share this info now? “I did because I just felt like it was just fitting for the time. It was not planned at all,” she stated. However, her friend Joy being at the group dinner might have influenced Mia’s willingness to spill the tea, since Joy could co-sign it. In addition, Karen called Mia’s bestie Jacqueline Blake, a “liar.”
“She had spent the entire day coming after my girl,” Mia explained. “I just felt like she was trying to accuse Jacqueline of being a liar and that she’s not telling the truth and that she makes things up.” Mia continued, “And I’m like, ‘No, actually Karen, you’re the one not telling the truth. You’re the one butt-dialing people with … the truth.’” The cast has admitted to receiving drunken calls from Karen.
Still, Karen has yet to take responsibility for her DUI. That will be a sticking point with the cast moving forward.
Real Housewives of Potomac continues on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.
