In December 2024, a jury found the 61-year-old reality star guilty of driving under the influence, negligent driving, and failure to control speed to avoid collision. An additional charge of reckless driving was dismissed.

The criminal charges were brought after Karen crashed her 2017 Maserati into a tree back in March 2024. The police who arrived at the scene spoke to Karen and believed she was under the influence. Officers later arrested Karen and took her to the station for questioning.

The attorneys asked that the January 29 sentencing be postponed to allow them time to catch up on the case.

“Karen made the important decision to enter a private recovery program, so was unable to attend the reunion taping today,” the statement read. “She was fully supported in this choice. We stand behind Karen as she embarks on this meaningful journey and are proud of her for taking such a significant step forward in her personal growth.”

The decision to enter rehab came just days after police released bodycam footage of Karen’s arrest. In the shocking videos, Karen can be seen telling officers she is “Thomas Jefferson’s concubine” and also telling another officer, “You know I hate you, right?”

Karen has yet to speak publicly since her guilty plea.
