Karen, 61, was found guilty of DUI in December 2024 after wrecking her Maserati in a high-speed crash earlier in the year.

At the time of the accident, the police body cam of the reality star’s arrest was released to the public, showing an inebriated Karen struggling to speak and even admitting to being “drunk” after the crash.

At one point, she even referred to herself as Thomas Jefferson’s “concubine” while sitting in an interrogation room with a police officer who asked her questions about the incident.

Karen spoke about the bodycam footage in an episode of “RHOP,” saying she initially refused to watch the footage.

“I’m sitting there in the courtroom, like, I have to finally watch it, because I kept saying, ‘Well, surely they made a mistake, right, because everything’s not connecting for me,’” she began telling Ray, 79, during the scene.

“And I watched, and I’m telling you, I didn’t recognize that woman,” she continued. “I didn’t know her.”
