The latest episode of Bel Air has sparked a buzz in the reality TV world, as a nod to Karen Huger, star of The Real Housewives of Potomac, sent shockwaves through social media. The scene in question features Uncle Phil and Carlton discussing boxing and reality TV, with Carlton name-dropping Karen Huger, aka the Grand Dame, in a quick but significant reference. Fans took to social media to express their excitement, with many speculating that Gizelle Bryant, another Real Housewife, might not be thrilled about the mention. Meanwhile, others joked that Candiace Dillard Bassett’s omission from the scene meant she didn’t deserve a mention.
As the news of the shout-out spread, it coincided with a tumultuous period in Huger’s personal life. She was involved in a DUI incident, crashing her Maserati while under the influence and losing her license. The Real Housewives of Potomac was still airing at the time, but the reunion had already been filmed, making this the most recent public appearance for Huger.
