Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Potomac is kicking off with a big reveal.

In a sneak preview of the Sunday, October 6, season premiere of Bravo’s reality show, viewers learn that cameras were indeed rolling as Karen Huger was released from jail following six months behind bars.

“Hello, do we have tissues in here?” Karen is overheard asking a driver while holding back tears. “Thank you so much.”

Cameras also captured the scene outside the Montgomery County Detention Center in Maryland on the morning of September 2. At the time, several members of the media had gathered to try and catch a glimpse of Karen’s release.

While it’s unclear what will be revealed later on in the season, Bravo’s first look at season 10 continued with the cast gathering two days after Karen’s sentencing.

On March 1, Gizelle Bryant invited several cast members — including Ashley Darby, Dr. Wendy Osefo, Stacey Rusch and Keiarna Stewart — over to describe Karen’s legal drama.

“I feel so many different emotions,” Gizelle said in a confessional interview. “I wish this weren’t happening. Do I want Karen in jail? Absolutely not. Do I want to make sure we don’t have a fifth DUI? For sure. I just want my Karen back. I really do.”

As the group came together, some speculated as to what life could really be like for Karen — nicknamed the Grand Dame of Potomac — behind bars.

“I want her to be secure,” Gizelle said. “If there’s an elderly section, I want her to be there.”

Keiarna added, “This is no Martha Stewart experience. She has to take a shower with people. She is in jail, y’all.”

While Wendy has had her fair share of conflict with Karen on The Real Housewives of Potomac, the political commentator said she also had sympathy for her costar.

“For me, the worst part is that it was so instant. She was taken into custody right away,” Wendy explained. “How does she process that? Did she know? Was she prepared? For Karen, we may have our differences, but at the core of me, that was once my friend so I want the best for her.”

Karen was initially sentenced to two years in jail with one year suspended, meaning she was set to spend one year behind bars after being found guilty of DUI and DWI charges.

The reality star’s conviction stemmed from her March 2024 car accident in Potomac, Maryland.

At the time, Montgomery County Police told TMZ that she was driving her 2017 Maserati in an “aggressive manner” when she struck an intersection crosswalk sign and a parking sign.

After the accident, Huger shared a statement about her state of mind before the crash.

“With the passing of my beloved mother, grief comes and goes in waves, and with Mother’s Day approaching, it has felt more like a tsunami,” she told TMZ at the time. “Last night I met a girlfriend for dinner, we talked and brought up some very emotionally sensitive topics. I was crying on my way home and saw a car heading right for me. I swerved to avoid the head-on collision, hit the divider and then a tree. I’m hurt, bruised up a bit, but so grateful I am alive!”

The Real Housewives of Potomac season 10 premieres on Bravo Sunday, October 5, at 8 p.m. ET. Stream episodes the next day on Peacock.
