Karen Huger won’t be shady when talking about Robyn Dixon’s comeback.

The Real Housewives of Potomac star appeared on Radio Andy’s Smith Sisters Live and shared her thoughts on Robyn’s season 11 role as a “friend of.” Listen to the full interview on Radio Andy on satellite channel 101 and the SiriusXM app starting Monday, November 16.

“It looks so good on her, doesn’t it?,” the Grand Dame of Potomac told the Smith Sisters. “She’s killing it. She’s almost full-time, I’m confused.”

For Karen, making her return to the franchise — after spending six months in jail following a DUI conviction — at the same time as Robyn has given her a new outlook on her castmate.

“I think life is an opportunity to learn,” she said. “Robyn took time off and she learned and she grew and she came back better, as did I. There are opportunities to grow at all times, she did that.”

“I think she’s more logical,” she added. “And I like that and she’s more independent, she stands on her own two feet.”

Karen’s praise for Robyn had to take a break, because there’s still a bit of tension between them.

“We’re still squabbling over calling her Robert,” she shared. “And let’s address that, I could have called her Roberta, Robert, I could have called her a robot. Anything, it was innocent, it was just fun.”

“The reading into it as something malicious, never happened. Not from me,” she explained further. “Everyone knows I’m a jokester and I’m going to find another name for Robyn eventually, but right now, I’m enjoying Robyn.”

Before introducing a new moniker, Karen said she wants to give Robyn’s nickname a proper goodbye.

“I think I’m about to have a burial for Robert because he’s so infamous,” she joked. “He lives on, she or he or it or what. Robert lives on.”

The Real Housewives of Potomac airs on Bravo Sundays at 8pm ET.

On Smith Sisters Live, Lauren, Rachel, and Mariah Smith — entertainment experts and real-life sisters — take listeners on a daily detail-obsessed deep dive into pop culture with a twist: sharing the story (and the story behind the story). Listen to the Smith Sisters Live weekdays at 9am ET on Radio Andy (Ch. 101).
