"I’m Not a Drunk, I’m a Wine Connoisseur!" Karen Huger Fires Back at Wendy Osefo on ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ Reunion
The highly anticipated reunion of Bravo’s "Real Housewives of Potomac" has finally arrived, and the drama is in full swing. During Sunday’s explosive episode, the cast came together to hash out all the season’s controversies, with one topic taking center stage: Karen Huger’s drinking habits. But Karen had had enough of the shade being thrown her way, and she’s hitting back hard.
As the conversation turned to her alleged drinking habits, Karen, 56, vehemently denied claims that she’s been relying on the bottle to get through the trying times. "I’m not a drunk, I’m a wine connoisseur!" she proudly declared, her voice rising in indignation. "I know how to drink, and I know how to enjoy a glass of wine. It’s not a crutch, it’s a pleasure."
The topic had been brought up by fellow cast member Wendy Osefo, who had been vocal about her concerns over Karen’s drinking. "I’m worried about the toll it’s taking on your health," Wendy, 41, said, her voice laced with concern. But Karen was having none of it.
"My health? My health is fine, thank you very much," Karen shot back, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "I can hold my liquor, Wendy. I’m not a lightweight by any stretch of the imagination. I’m a strong, confident woman who knows how to enjoy a glass of wine. You, on the other hand, are just a novice when it comes to the art of wine tasting. I’m WWE champion of wine, and you’re just a noob."
The audience watched in stunned silence as the two reality TV personalities went toe-to-toe, their words dripping with venom. But it was clear that Wendy was not about to back down, and the two continued to exchange heated barbs for the remainder of the confrontation.
Karen, meanwhile, emerged unscathed, her defense of her drinking habits firmly in place. As the cameras cut to commercial, she turned to the audience with a winking smile, her voice dripping with satisfaction. "I told you I’m not a drunk, and I told you I’m a wine connoisseur. Take it or leave it, haters."
In the end, it’s clear that Karen Huger is not about to let anyone – not even a little thing like drunkenness scandals – take her down. She’s standing strong, standing proud, and standing tall, with a glass of wine in hand and a debate going on in her favor.
