During the 2024 incident, Huger crashed her Maserati into a pole in Potomac. Police body camera footage was shown during the trial — and later was released to news outlets, and shown on Bravo as well — which showed the 'Housewives' star appearing to slur and be very intoxicated, all while speaking at length about the show and producer Andy Cohen to the arresting officer, who was not interested.
She was found guilty in December of five of the six charges, including driving under the influence and negligent driving. Huger was acquitted of reckless driving.
Huger was absent from the recent Season 9 multi-episode 'Potomac' reunion, as she was in a rehabilitation center following her verdict, which many of her co-stars said they considered to be a play for sympathy before the sentencing.
The day after the crash, Huger released a lengthy statement to TMZ, which read, 'Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this very frightening experience. I am still in shock from last nights incident, but grateful to be alive today. With the passing of my Beloved Mother, Grief comes and goes in waves, and with Mothers Day approaching it has felt more like a tsunami.
'Last night I met a girlfriend for dinner, we talked and brought up some very emotionally sensitive topics. I was crying on my way home and saw a car heading right for me. I swerved to avoid the head-on collision, hit the divider and then a tree. I'm hurt, bruised up a bit, but so grateful I am alive! I did receive citations, one of which was unrelated to the incident which is understandable, but what was most surprising is that the car that almost hit me just drove away!
'I would like to stress, it's important to understand your emotional state when driving and may this be a reminder to all to use their seatbelts, my Mother may be my Guardian Angel but the seatbelt saved my life.'

Kevin Federline Is a 'Professional Father,' According to Sam Asghari
Though Britney Spears and Sam Asghari finalized their divorce last December, The Traitors star is still coming to his ex's defense. Sam had a few words to say about Britney's other ex, Kevin Federline, and his parenting style, during a recent interview with TMZ. His comment comes after the former pro dancer announced his upcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew, which covers 'fame, fatherhood and the private cost of public life—from one of pop culture's most misunderstood figures.' 'He was a professional father,' Sam said about K-Fed, who welcomed two sons, Sean and Jayden, with Britney in 2005 and 2006. 'So, it would be the first book that would tell you how to be a professional father.' 'This book is extremely intimate and transparent,'Kevin wrote in a press release, per TMZ. 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak, and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced nonstop emotional turbulence.' Aside from his children with the 'Baby... One More Time' hitmaker, Kevin shares two grown children, Kori and Kaleb, with his ex-fiancée, Shar Jackson, and two younger kids, Jordan and Peyton, with his current wife, Victoria Prince. In May 2023, Kevin's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told People that Britney had 'consented' to their sons, Sean and Jayden, moving to Hawaii to be with their dad. 'It's an opportunity for Kevin and his wife, and the boys are ready to get away from the L.A. microscope,' K-Fed's lawyer said at the time. A few years later, Britney shared that she had reunited with her youngest, Jayden, to celebrate New Year's Eve in a sweet Instagram post. 'I hadn't seen him in 2 and half years or maybe 3 !!!' Britney wrote in the caption of her post, which featured photos of Jayden posing outdoors. She continued, praising her son for his piano skills that she would later mention in another social media post that has since been deleted. 'I'm in shock !!! He came back and he feels older and smarter than me !!! He's a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!! When he plays the whole earth shakes !!!' Kevin's tell-all, You Thought You Knew, comes nearly two years after Britney's memoir, The Woman In Me, was published. It's set to release on October 21.

‘Handsome grandpa' Macron makes a splash on holiday in south of France
Emmanuel Macron has been pictured making a splash during his surfing holiday in the south of France. The images, which have been shared widely by the media in France, mark a stark departure from the sobriety of the French president's usual crisp attire and serious demeanour. Instead of his signature dark blue suit, Mr Macron was captured in a wetsuit, riding a hydrofoil board and grinning widely during sunset. 'But what a handsome grandpa,' read the cover of Voici, a weekly celebrity and gossip magazine that posted the photos of Mr Macron on its cover on Thursday. Brigitte Macron, the French first lady, was also captured riding a jetski with one of her grandchildren while following her husband on the hydrofoil. The pictures were taken earlier this month at Fort de Brégançon, the French president's summer residence, a medieval fortress and the official retreat where French leaders have been holidaying since 1968. The fort is located about 100 feet above sea level on a rocky islet near the Mediterranean in the South of France in Bormes-les-Mimosas. TMZ, the celebrity tabloid news site, also commented on the president's athletic physique under the headline 'Flexing political muscles'. It said: 'French Prez Emmanuel Macron looks like he's been hitting the gym ... because he just showed us what he's been packing under his suits – and he's got a six-pack of abs.' It is not the first time Mr Macron has been praised for his athleticism. In 2024, official photos showed the French president with bulging biceps as he boxed a punching bag. Between hydrofoil sessions on the open water and excursions into town for a stage show with French comedian Dany Boon, Mr Macron has also been spending his summer holidays conducting state and international business. On Sunday, the president engaged in high-level talks with Sir Keir Starmer and Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor, in a video conference to discuss the next stage of peace talks in Ukraine. The trio will be part of a delegation of European leaders who will join Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader, in Washington on Monday to meet with Donald Trump. An unnamed source close to the president told Le Figaro: 'It's non-stop. He's making calls from Bregancon and spending his days exchanging messages with his counterparts.' Residents said the French president kept a lower profile than usual in the area. The owner of a bar-restaurant told Le Parisien: 'Sarkozy used to come and get his freshly squeezed orange juice. [Jacques] Chirac and [François] Hollande used to come and see us, but we don't see Macron anymore. I think he is no longer very popular.' Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
