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.
The Real Housewives of Potomac has been a staple of reality TV for eight seasons, following the lives of six women living in Potomac, Maryland. The show is known for its drama-filled storylines and over-the-top antics, and Karen Huger’s nickname, the Grand Dame, reflects her status as one of the show’s longest-running and most iconic stars.
This mention of Karen Huger’s name on Bel Air marks a rare instance of a reality TV star getting a shout-out on a scripted TV show, cementing her legacy as the Grand Dame of Potomac. It is a testament to the enduring popularity of The Real Housewives of Potomac, which has remained a favorite among fans despite the ups and downs of its cast members. As fans continue to buzz about the scene, Karen Huger can take comfort in knowing that her legacy will live on for years to come.
