Karen Huger Mourns Loss of Father


PageSix.com:
“The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Karen Huger’s father has passed away at the age of 74.

Her dad, Benjamin B. Wooden Jr., died Thursday of natural causes, Huger’s rep confirmed to Page Six on Monday. He also suffered from Alzheimer’s disease.

“There’s never enough time,” Huger told us in a statement. “In my father’s memory, any donations to the Alzheimer’s Association are most appreciated.”

Raising awareness and funds toward finding a cure for the neurodegenerative disease has become a cause close to Huger’s heart, and she is frequently seen on the Bravo show lending her time to charitable causes.

“I need to find a cure for this,” she told Page Six last year after hosting a benefit for the Alzheimer’s Association. “What a wonderful position to raise funds to help others.”

‘Real Housewives of Potomac’: Cast Trip In Limbo as Robyn Dixon Unleashes on Karen Huger


ETOnline.com:
The Real Housewives of Potomac’s all-cast trip might only feature some of the cast.

In ET’s exclusive first look at this week’s all-new episode of the Bravo hit, the ladies gather for a dinner that quickly turns from bad to worse. To start, it’s just Gizelle Bryant, Robyn Dixon and Ashley Darby at the table, with Gizelle explaining why she has no interest in going on an international trip with the women, planned by co-star Monique Samuels.

“Why would she even be inviting me?” Gizelle asks. “Why? Why would she be inviting Robyn?”

“You come to Congressional Black Caucus, you don’t speak to me,” Gizelle notes in a confessional. “You decide to befriend little [my ex-boyfriend’s ex-wife] Miss Kyndall just to spite me, and then you want to go to another country with you? No ma’am, Pam. Not interested.”

“It’s just weird,” Robyn notes.

“The invite wasn’t even luggage friendly!” Gizelle calls out. “She said, ‘Pack your Louis Vuitton.’ Karen [Huger] can’t come … Candiace [Dillard] can’t come. I mean, it’s just ridiculous.”

Karen Huger Accused of Having Secret Boyfriend Named 'Blue Eyes' at Real Housewives of Potomac Reunion


People.com:
The ladies of The Real Housewives of Potomac already came to blows during part 1 of the explosive reunion last week — and in PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek of Sunday’s closer, the gloves come off as accusations of infidelity fly.

The most shocking? Charrisse Jackson-Jordan’s claim that the Grand Dame of Potomac Karen Huger — who has been married to her husband Raymond for more than 20 years — has been unfaithful, with a secret boyfriend on the side.

“People say you have a boyfriend. Do I talk about that?” Jackson-Jordan says. “Blue Eyes or whatever his name is?”

The accusation sends shockwaves through the Potomac Housewives — the camera catching Ashley DarbyGizelle Bryant, and Monique Samuels’ respective OMG faces.

While the allegation itself may be surprising, what isn’t really shocking is that Huger and Jackson-Jordan go at it in the first place. After all, the longtime friends have had a few falling-outs this season (who can forget their big Bahamas brawl?) — with Huger even calling Jackson-Jordan “a New Jersey Harlot.”

Asked where that comment — and the suggestion that she had a photo of Jackson-Jordan with someone other than her estranged-husband Eddie Jordan — came from, Huger plays coy.

“I’m not going to do that, Charisse,” she says. “I was hurt. And I meant that I would put the picture up, but I just couldn’t do it.”

“But it’s not factual,” Jackson-Jordan shoots back — explaining how fake photos had circulated on Instagram from an unnamed “crazy person,” who was out to expose Jackson-Jordan’s infidelities. “This is where all this thing of a boyfriend came from.”

Karen Huger’s Husband and His Company Owe Millions in Back Taxes


WaPo.com:
At least one thing really is grand about Karen Huger, the self-appointed grand dame of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Potomac”: her family’s massive unpaid tax bill.

Her husband, software exec Ray Huger, whom she has called “the black Bill Gates,” owes nearly $1.5 million in back-due federal taxes and his company owes more than $3 million, according to public records.

A major plot point of the show, whose finale was last weekend, involved cast members questioning whether the couple’s finances were as gold-plated as they portrayed them. (So wait, some things on reality TV are actually real?) Fueling the on-screen speculation was the Hugers’ sale of their Potomac home in August for $1.685 million, far less than its listing price of $2.5 million and its county-assessment value of $2.37 million.

It seems the suspicious pals were right: Something’s amiss. The government has a $1.468 million lien against Ray Huger, 70, a former IBM executive who founded software and consulting company Paradigm Solutions in 1991, according to an April 26 filing in Fairfax County Circuit Court. Paradigm Solutions, where Huger is the president and chief executive, also has a $3.06 million lien against it, Montgomery County Circuit Court records show.

“It’s a private matter; it’s being addressed,” Huger said in a brief interview Wednesday.
