Karen Huger has embarked on a significant personal transformation following her notable absence from the Season 9 reunion.

Karen Huger from "The Real Housewives of Potomac" has entered a rehab facility following her DUI arrest and conviction.

Karen Huger, the self-proclaimed grande dame of Potomac, knows how to command a room—or, in this case, leave it conspicuously empty. Fans of The Real Housewives of Potomac will have to endure a Season 9 reunion without her signature shade, as Huger skipped the taping to enter a private recovery program, according to her manager, Ryan Tresdale.
