It really is sad,” Bryant told the outlet. “I mean, do I want to see her go to jail? Absolutely not. But do I want to see her take accountability? For sure. So, I don’t know. I mean, Karen going to jail, that would break my heart. So we’ll see.” Huger returned to the show and even played off her drinking at the start of the season. Eventually, her team revealed thatHuger is in aprivate rehab facility. Bryant went on to give her take on the situation.

Does Gizelle Bryant Think Karen Huger Should Leave the Show?

“I think she should have done it — gone to rehab — right after the accident,” she said. “I think it actually would have helped her with her case.” Bryant says that she hasn’t spoken to Huger “since before wefilmed the reunion”and “before she went to rehab.” But Bryant went on to say that she thinksthis isthe wake-up callthat Huger needed. “I think she realizes that she’s appreciative of the support, but as it relates to really understanding what she did and how that could have ended in such a more horrible way, I think she’s now starting to realize that,” she said.

Bryant was pressed during her conversation withUs Weeklyaboutthe possibility of Hugerleaving the show. For Bryant, she didn’t want that to happen. “No. No. Okay. We need Karen,” she said. “Yeah. Oh, no. We always need Karen. We do need Karen. Karen is too much fun.” With jail time on the table, Bryant does recognize that there is a possible futurewhere Huger is not part of the show, and she thinks that the cast will be fine if that is the case. “I mean, she wasn’t at our reunion, and we were fine,” she said.
