Karen Huger’s Rep Confirms She Entered Rehab After Her Noticeable Absence From The ‘RHOP’ Reunion Seating Chart

Karen Huger is skipping the forthcoming “Real Housewives of Potomac” reunion and has made the decision to enter rehab.

The seating chart for the season 9 reunion was released on Thursday, Jan. 9, showing Stacey Rusch, Wendy Osefo, Mia Thornton, host Andy Cohen, Gizelle Bryant, Ashley Darby, and Keiarna Stewart — but Karen Huger’s face was missing from the lineup.

Her manager, Ryan Tresdale, explained her absence in a statement to PEOPLE first obtained by Bravo’s Daily Dish.

“Karen made the important decision to enter a private recovery program, so was unable to attend the reunion taping today,” the statement read. “She was fully supported in this choice. We stand behind Karen as she embarks on this meaningful journey and are proud of her for taking such a significant step forward in her personal growth.”

Last month, she was found guilty in her DUI trial.

Kudos to Karen for getting herself some help. Drop some words of encouragement to the Grand Dame.
