The Grande Dame is coming home sooner than expected.

Real Housewives of Potomac star Karen Huger is set for an early release from prison following her 2024 DUI case that shocked fans. Huger was originally sentenced to 12 months behind bars, but with credits for good behavior, she will walk free on September 2, 2025.

The reality star’s DUI stemmed from a solo crash near her Potomac home last year, where she admitted to blacking out before hitting multiple signs and a tree. Despite being denied work-release earlier this year, Huger has reportedly used her time in custody to focus on personal growth.

Her release will be followed by a year-long driving ban and supervised probation. Whether she’ll make her return to RHOP or use this moment to step into a new chapter remains to be seen — but fans are already buzzing about her comeback.
