Mia Thornton wants to hold Karen Huger accountable.

The ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ star tells Page Six’s “Real Virtual Tea” why she shared her infamous “butt dial” story about her bandmate Huger, which implied that the latter was allegedly unfaithful to her husband Ray Huger.

“I did it because I felt like it was right for the moment,” Thornton, 39, explained her decision to tell the story during a girls’ trip to Lake Norman, North Carolina, aired on “RHOP” on October 27. slice. “This was not planned at all.”

Two factors contributed to the Bravolebrity’s desire to reveal 61-year-old Karen’s alleged past.

Thornton’s friend Joy — who was there for a raucous night out with Karen in 2021 — attended a cast dinner filmed for the episode, so she was on hand to corroborate the story on camera.

Additionally, the self-proclaimed “Grande Dame” had clashed with Thornton’s childhood pal Jacqueline Blake over the holidays, repeatedly calling the cast’s new “friend of” a “liar” with no evidence of cheating.

“She had spent the whole day picking on my girlfriend…I just felt like she was trying to accuse Jacqueline of being a liar, that she wasn’t telling the truth and that she was making it up. things,” Thornton told “Virtual Reali-Tea.”

“And I’m like, ‘No, actually Karen, you’re the one who’s not telling the truth.’ You are the only ones dealing with…the truth.’ »

Blake, Thornton and “RHOP” vet Gizelle Bryant all claimed that Karen had a habit of calling out her castmates while she was drunk.

“The funny story is, when you left, you called us,” Thornton told Karen on camera. “And you said… you were with someone else and you said, ‘These girls think I’m with Ray.'”

Karen – who has been married to Ray for decades – said she doesn’t remember ever making such a statement.

In a preview for Sunday’s episode, Ashley Darby says she wholeheartedly believes Thornton and Joy’s story.

“The streets have been bustling with some of Karen’s forays. I heard some things, saw some things,” she says in a confessional. “So I believe with every fiber of my being that Mia and Joy are telling the truth.”

In the same preview, Karen admits that she and Ray experienced martial conflicts. However, she makes it clear that she appreciates the support he has shown her following his arrest for drunk driving in March.

“We’ve been through this before. We were having our moment. You have moments in your marriage, you know? But he didn’t hesitate… he’s my soldier,” she explains.

“Ray supports me. He has always been there for me and I love him for that. But we’re human and we’re going through this and we’re working on our marriage.

According to Thornton and Bryant, Karen also tries not to make post-cocktail calls since her alcohol-infused brush with the law.

“Look, Karen probably has me on (her) do-not-disturb list, okay? So no, I haven’t received any alleged drunk calls lately. And I feel like she’s a little more careful with her cellular device,” Thornton says.

“And it’s good that she’s doing this because it’s necessary.” Stop randomly calling people drunk and then saying you’re not drunk. Like, which one is it? …There’s nothing wrong with drinking. Don’t drive.

Meanwhile, Bryant, 54, jokingly told us that she “actually (misses)” such a correspondence by Karen.

“You never know what you’re going to hear,” she remembers of her lively conversations with the founder of La Dame perfume. “You never know what she’s going to say.”

In July, by documents obtained by PeopleKaren asked the court to dismiss her DUI case. Prosecutors oppose the motion, which has not yet been decided by the judge.

“The Real Housewives of Potomac” airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
