The reality star’s sentencing concludes a legal process from her March 19, 2024, incident in Potomac, Maryland, where Huger was involved in a single-vehicle collision.

Huger told TMZ at the time that she had been emotionally distraught and tried to avoid a head-on collision.
During the trial, prosecutors presented body camera footage and witness testimony that depicted Huger’s state at the time of the crash, which included evidence of slurred speech and her refusal to undergo sobriety tests.
Huger was faced with multiple charges, including DUI and DWI, reckless driving, failure to control vehicle speed, and driving with a suspended registration.
The jury found Huger guilty of driving under the influence (DUI), negligent driving, failure to control speed to avoid a collision, and failure to notify authorities of an address change. She was acquitted of reckless driving.
In addition to her prison sentence, a judge also imposed five years of probation.
The 61-year-old has been a central figure in RHOP since its premiere in 2016. She’s best known for her self-proclaimed “Grand Dame” title and is the creator of the fragrance La’Dame. Huger was last featured in the ninth season of the series, which ended a few weeks ago.
