RHOP’s Robyn Dixon Accuses Karen Huger of “Deflect[ing]” in Post-Prison Interview, Says She Refused to Acknowledge “Alcoholism”

Robyn Dixon shaded Karen Huger for “deflect[ing]” in her post-prison interview with Andy Cohen. Robyn suggested that Karen – who was convicted of driving under the influence after crashing her car into a tree – was “blame-shifting” and refused to acknowledge the “alcoholism.”

According to reports, the Real Housewives of Potomac star had three other alcohol-related offenses before her latest DUI. But when Andy asked about the alcohol component, Karen seemed to imply that her problem was mixing alcohol with prescription drugs.

On Reasonably Shady, Robyn reacted to Karen’s interview.

“I will just say, I feel like I saw the same person,” said Robyn, via @queensofbravo on Instagram. “A lot of the same deflection. I feel like there was some accountability, but not in like a … sincere apology or a sincere acknowledgement [that] drunk driving is never okay [and an apology] to all the victims and victims’ families of drunk drivers, like this is a really serious matter.”

“Like I really wanted to see her attack that topic and just kind of say [that] what I did is never acceptable,” Robyn added. “And what I felt like I saw was a lot of blame-shifting and a lot of deflection. … It was weird. It was like she almost didn’t want to embrace the alcoholism part and was putting it more on like the prescription drugs. And I felt like that, in a way, [she] was kind of trying to blame whomever prescribed her these drugs.”

Her cohost Gizelle Bryant said she never knew Karen was mixing alcohol with pills.

“I don’t find it hard to believe,” said Robyn. “[But] even trying to be shady towards Wendy, like that was unnecessary. Wendy said someone told her [that] she met someone [who said Karen] always day-drinks, which we know is true.”

“But she admitted that though, right?” asked Gizelle.

“She admitted it happened 20 years ago [at a] Seafood [restaurant],” Robyn responded. “You know what I mean? … Let’s take accountability and let’s not deflect. Let’s just kind of address the topic head-on and be kind of remorseful, and let’s try to send a message to the people out here, like, ‘I am sorry because I know a lot of people have lost loved ones from drunk drivers.’ … Because she even tried to not even say that she was drunk. I don’t know, it was weird. She tried to downplay.”
