Real Housewives of Potomac feels like its at a crossroads. Karen Huger, the Grand Dame herself, recently reported to one year in prison following her sentencing for a DUI accident. Karen has always been central to the RHOP story, even during the latest reunion when she didn’t even attend in person. It’s hard to imagine the show without her.
RHOP feels like it hit a stride with Season 9. A cast shake-up added newbies like Stacey Rusch and Keiarna Stewart into the full-time mix and brought new life into the show. Plus, OGs like Ashley Darby and Gizelle Bryant kept it rooted in tradition. While Bravo looks ahead to RHOP’s 10th season, the network might be uncertain of how to proceed without Karen.
Will RHOP Season 10 wait for Karen Huger’s prison release?
The word on the street is that RHOP was supposed to start filming by the end of March for the next season. However, an “insider” told TV Deets that the production company is pushing it back to April at the soonest. Plus, they claim that none of the current cast, which includes Wendy Osefo and Mia Thornton, have been asked back yet.
“They had a whole plan for Season 10 but Karen’s situation has definitely thrown a wrench in things,” the inside source said. “Everything is up in the air.” Is Bravo going to pull a Teresa Giudice and put the show on pause until Karen’s stint in camp is over?
Another inside source said that Karen’s main storyline at the reunion, despite not being in attendance, was telling of her role on the show. “There are a lot of great things about this current group but [the network is] trying to decide if they can really afford to do a season without her,” the second source said. “No one involved wants to mess up Potomac.” We can respect that.
Wendy Osefo speaks on RHOP filming delay accusations
Wendy was quick to comment on the allegations that RHOP Season 10 would be delayed, calling the report a “lie.” She added the two champagne glasses clicking emoji to boot. Something tells me Dr. Wendy has already been told she’s coming back. As for when filming will begin? That’s still up in the air.
Real Housewives of Potomac is available to stream on Peacock.
