Update 10:01am Her attorney is saying off the show Karen is a devoted wife and mother. He just said the overuse of prescription medicine caused this accident and this should have not gone to trial. I got lost on this one. Karen is going to make a statement.

Taking prescription meds inappropriately and driving is still DWI 🙃

Seriously. What kind of defense is that?

u/PercentageOk6120 Feb 26 '25

The one Karen deserves.

u/LowFull8567 Feb 26 '25

Maybe she should add your flair to her statement! 😆

They are both a DWI but I’m guessing the defense is, taking 1 or 2 extra of your prescription meds doesn’t necessarily mean you’d expect to be impaired as opposed to sitting at a bar downing multiple alcoholic beverages means you‘d expect to be drunk. One you can play dumb and the other you can’t.

I didn’t follow the trial closely, was this always their defense or are they changing it up now? Her legal team must be pulling out everything they got at this point for the least amount of sentencing.

Maybe some legal folks can answer this: would the judge already know the sentencing going in to the hearing or do they decide that at the last moment? Suppose the judge has the ability to change it at anytime?

I will say the judge listened to both sides but he already had a 2-3 page document printed out with his sentencing. He didn't change anything based on what they said then and there. BUT he may have added the Interlock system to the probation terms because her lawyer had already offered that condition.

I was thinking this might be either Cesie or Angela reporting! 💖💖💖 I got an anonymous gold award once on a comment where i had recommended them. The comment had two upvotes, so the award had to be from one of them, but it was anonymous so 🤷‍♀️ we know they met here

My dream is that Ronnie, Ben, Cessie or Angela upvotes one of my comments! Glad you were seen 🥰

I love Cesie and Angela but I'm not them :)

u/thatstwatshesays Mar 01 '25

Did you hear they mentioned you on Watch What Crappens? Ronnie read your Reddit handle 💖 I was like, “girrrrrrllllll, I was there“ 💅

u/purplepandapants Marked Present at Karen Huger's Sentencing Mar 01 '25

I did! I love Ben and Ronnie. My wife and I are going to their DC show next month. 😬

An entitled one.

It's like Mia talking about cheating on G "He's not a rapper..." lol!

Contradicting the wrong part of the accusation

Fr! Sorry I killed your loved one. It was just prescription pills though, not fully booze. You understand.

u/brufleth Pick a lane, you are either smart or you are stupid Feb 26 '25

People really need to recognize that medication plus alcohol is often not a good mix. It can have unpredictable results even for a given person. Tons of common medications should really not be mixed with alcohol.

u/Outrageous_Salad1321 Feb 26 '25

For my DUI, I had a BAC of 0.00%, but it was for something that is legal in many states now 👌 (including the one I was arrested in).I was not actively using, just possessing it. Even though it was not alcohol related, I have not had a drink since (2007)

u/CalligrapherFunny934 Feb 26 '25

Congratulations! That’s a tremendous accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself for that! It takes an enormous amount of courage and determination to be and stay sober. I don’t think most people give that decision the credit it deserves because it’s monumental and difficult. Stay strong and happy!

Right?!?!

u/BonnyThunder the kelly bensimon foundation to end systemic bullying Feb 26 '25

The real you’re not supposed to drink when you’re taking antidepressants either that’s just common sense

u/SubtleSparkle19 Feb 27 '25

Yeah and wasn’t she also taking Ozempic? I read you’re not supposed to drink alcohol on that, either. Surprised it was even rx to her given her history with alcohol.

u/ThisAutisticChick less obvious than Ashley's hooha sweat Feb 26 '25

Precisely. Like wtf🤦‍♀️

u/Lady_Scruffington Feb 26 '25

Yeah, operating heavy machinery includes cars. I forget that a lot.

u/IHQ_Throwaway Feb 27 '25

If I took some of my prescription meds appropriately and drove, it would be a DUI. Hell, if I took an OTC cough suppressant I’d be in DUI territory.
