Karen Huger Explains Why She’s Ignoring Ashley Darby On ‘RHOP’
Karen Huger has intense etiquette rules in her life and she doesn’t mind calling people out — including her Real Housewives of Potomac co-star — when they don’t behave as she wants them to. Huger has high standards, and when Ashley Darby decided to not follow the rules, she started to ignore her. Karen is now revealing why she doesn’t want to talk to Ashley on the show, and why she kept ditching her during Charrisse Jordan Jackson’s party. According to a new Bravo report, Karen Huger is now explaining her reasoning.
“I was very polite to Ashley, I acknowledged her when I spoke to her at the birthday party. However, this was Charrisse’s big day. I was not about to risk ruining it by possibly getting into it with Ashley yet again. NOT HAPPENING!” Karen Huger revealed about why she’s ditching Ashley these days, adding about the butt grab, “To each his own. I’m just glad I wasn’t involved and that Michael didn’t pinch Ray.”
It’s no secret that Huger isn’t too happy with her co-star these days. Karen decided to take her husband golfing with Ashley and Michael, and she was proud of the way her husband defended her. Karen’s husband wasn’t pleased that Michael showed up during the girls weekend away, because he wasn’t happy that Michael may have seen Karen in skimpy outfits. And yet, Ashley pointed out that Karen always filmed the show with her breasts out. She did seem to be a contradiction.
“I was incredibly baffled by Karen’s avoidance of me. Earlier in the night, I had asked Charrisse Jackson Jordan if she was comfortable with me addressing Karen during her party. She assured there was no issue and encouraged me to squash the bulls**t. From the beginning, the ladies of Potomac have preached the importance of bringing the matter to the forefront. Well, here I was trying to follow the laws of the land only to be given the hand? That’s not right, Slim,” Ashley Darby has revealed about the incident, sharing that she doesn’t understand Karen’s arguments, according to Bravo.
But Karen Huger was busy with many other things, including her daughter’s graduation party. She was sad to see her girl growing up and this is the same daughter, who Karen wanted to keep from the ladies. During last week’s episode, Huger revealed that she didn’t want Ashley Darby to hang around with her daughter, Rayvin, and she was very specific about who she didn’t want around her daughter. Ashley didn’t understand, and Karen has yet to really explain it. But given her stance, it does make sense why Darby wasn’t at the graduation party. Instead, this was a calming party where Karen could celebrate her daughter and her own achievements. And it was an emotional experience.
“Like any mother who’s last child is leaving the home, my emotions were running very high. Proud one moment and sad the next. Rayvin wanted a graduation celebration with her family and friends who she loved and she knew loved her. I wanted it to be everything she wanted, no surprises. Like Ray said, his mind was on other things and he neglected to mention ordering the bartender. I wish he would have informed me but I understood. Oh well, he is Mr. Huger! Rayvin’s graduation celebration was everything she wanted. We are so proud of her,” Huger reveals of her daughter, who is now starting a new chapter of her life.
