00:00It's only been a week since Beyond the Gates premiered, and there's already drama.

00:05But this time, it's happening off-screen.

00:08One of the show's cast members has just been arrested for a DUI and it's serious.

00:12So watch till the end to find out who it is.

00:16Hey everyone, welcome to Trend Street.

00:20Karen Huger, best known for the reality show The Real Housewives of Potomac, made her daytime

00:25TV debut in CBS's new soap Beyond the Gates, which premiered on February 24th.

00:32Fans caught a glimpse of her in the show's second trailer, where she oozed drama and

00:36sass, delivering the line,

00:38Welcome to Fairmont Crest.

00:42in a way only a reality queen could.

00:45The trailer even showed her snapping her fingers at a stunned character who had just been slapped

00:49into Next Week during an intense showdown.

00:52That scene?

00:53Oh, it was just a taste of the fiery premiere.

00:57Huger's character was right in the mix, side-eyeing and eavesdropping on a full-blown fight between

01:02Danny Dupree and Hayley Lawson.

01:05However, the new actress just got herself in trouble big time.

01:09Instead of living the high life on screen, Huger will now be spending time behind a different

01:13kind of gate, the prison kind.

01:16According to Fox 5 DC, on February 26th, just days after her Beyond the Gates debut, Huger

01:22was sentenced to two years in prison, with one year suspended, after being convicted

01:27of DUI, negligent driving, speeding, and failing to update her address.

01:33She dodged a reckless driving charge, but a jury still found her guilty of five other

01:37offenses.

01:38And let's just say the judge was not impressed.

01:41In fact, they didn't hold back, telling her,

01:43You were filled to the gills with alcohol.

01:45Yikes.

01:47So how did that happen?

01:49Back on March 19th, 2024, Huger crashed her luxury Maserati into a pole in Potomac.

01:55While let's be honest, way over the limit.

01:57When officers arrived, she refused a breathalyzer and field sobriety tests, but body cam footage

02:03and eyewitnesses made it crystal clear, she was not in a state to be behind the wheel,

02:08like at all.

02:09She later checked into a private rehab program, but the judge wasn't about to give her a

02:13free pass, considering this was her fourth DUI in 20 years.

02:18The judge even called her out, saying,

02:20What are we waiting for?

02:21The fifth?

02:22Before we sentence you to jail time?

02:25Despite her attorney's plea for leniency, Huger is officially heading to jail.

02:30Along with her sentence, she's got five years of probation, a $20,900 fine, and a year-long

02:36driving ban after she's released her ABC News.

02:40Talk about consequences.

02:42Her lawyer, David Martella, told reporters that Huger is

02:45Fully prepared to get through this.

02:47And is looking forward to a brighter day very soon.

02:51But here's the big question.

02:53What does this mean for her role on Beyond the Gates?

02:56With a one-year prison sentence, it's safe to say she won't be filming any new episodes

03:00anytime soon.

03:02Will CBS keep her scenes, or will they quietly edit her out?

03:06After all, having an actor with a criminal record on screen isn't the best look for a

03:11brand new show, right?

03:13Looks like Huger's Beyond the Gates cameo might be very short-lived because she's got

03:17much bigger problems to deal with.

03:20What do you guys think?

03:21Should they cut her scenes?

03:43Thanks for watching.

03:44See you next time.
