The 61-year-old reality star was involved in a car crash while driving her 2017 Maserati, striking a median, a street sign, and a tree. Police arrested her, suspecting she was intoxicated. Prosecutors charged Karen with DUI, negligent driving, and endangering public safety.
Karen argued that officers failed to read her Miranda rights before questioning her, claiming the interrogation was illegal. However, prosecutors countered, stating her statements were made voluntarily while being assessed by medical personnel and were not part of a custodial interrogation.
Bodycam footage reportedly showed Karen swaying, stumbling, and slurring her speech. Witnesses also noted she appeared confused and smelled of alcohol. The judge ruled the police acted lawfully, adding that Karen’s behavior and statements before her arrest could be used in court.
Following the decision, Karen issued a statement expressing gratitude for surviving the crash. She shared her emotional struggles with grief, explaining she had been crying after an emotional dinner before the accident. She emphasized the importance of seatbelt use, attributing it to saving her life.
