"Disgusting"— The Real Housewives of Potomac fans divided by Mia and Karen's feud about DUI and drug abuse

The Real Housewives of Potomac season 9 aired episode 7 on Sunday, November 17, 2024. The segment saw the cast attend Jassi's event, which she threw for her boyfriend Darius, after a meeting at the White House.

As the women gathered, Mia confronted Karen about "coming after" her, and told her she was in no position to attack anybody. However, before things could escalate, Gizelle pulled the cast members aside to discuss the matter privately.

Gizelle told Karen that she told Mia what Karen had shared with her, but did not "add any hot sauce" about what Karen had said about Mia's past with drug abuse. Karen said she believed they were friends but the cast member had been attacking her about the DUI.

Fans of the Bravo reality show discussed the conversation on social media and criticized both cast members. While some believed Mia was acting like a victim, others felt Karen was trying to "deflect" from her DUI.

"Karen’s deflecting is actually a little disgusting. Talking about Mias opioid addiction serves no purpose…especially since Mia owned it. Also, most viewers think Mia is trash & view her in a low manner..deflecting onto her is a waste of time," one person wrote on X.

"Karen saying to Gizelle and Ashley about Mia addiction. If you don't believe me don't GOOGLE it, just YOUTUBE it," a fan commented.

"Karen is deflecting but I’m still laughing at that Mia clip," a tweet read.

Some fans of The Real Housewives of Potomac season 9 criticized Mia for attacking Karen:

"Mia is full of BS. What Karen did was wrong and she is going to face the consequences of her actions with the criminal justice system. Why are you so invested? You need to focusing on some laser resurfacing cuz your face look crazy," a fan commented.

"To overdose on DRUGS!!! And try to shame someone for a dui is very trashy and disgusting you were a literal drug addict and Karen had a drunk night… Mia is trash," a tweet read.

"Mia aggravates me because at times I actually enjoy her but then she says something/does something that irritates me so badly. Yes, you have been coming for Karen since EP 1. You should’ve been prepared for her to bring up your opioid addiction," a person wrote.

Fans of The Real Housewives of Potomac season 9 further said:

"Gizelle bringing Mia and Karen together to squash the beef and move their friendship forward and being a friend to both is why Gizelle is so necessary on this friendship. She knows how to move the pieces on board so swiftly and easily. Her best season yet!" a person wrote.

"This Mia and Karen feud reminds me of old school Gizelle and Karen feuding. Hmm maybe I’ll not mad at it? Keep reading each other so I can laugh, thanks gorls," a fan commented.

"I did not go to rehab," Mia said.

"I'm not coming for you, I love you," Mia said.

Karen told Mia her love was "strange" while Mia clarified she had a lot of respect for The Real Housewives of Potomac star. She added she knew what Karen was going through, but she was not always going to tell her what she wanted to hear as a friend.
