Sunday night’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Potomac” caused another “Housewives” star — Kenya Moore — to call out Karen Huger.

During the July 15 airing, Huger sat down with castmate Candiace Dillard and explained she has a tendency to brag about her privileged upbringing.

“I know that you’re a pageant girl and you’re very proud of that,” Huger says at the 35:56 mark. “You should be. But the way you present it in the conversation, you’ll say, ‘Well, Chris is upset with me because I can walk through the airport, everyone knows me! And Chris has just got to adjust!’ Now, I’m embellishing, but that is how it comes across to everyone.”

After a cut to castmate Robyn Dixon explaining that while she also grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth, she has a “hard time sympathizing” with Dilliard, Huger continues.

“This is what I want you to take from this conversation: we all are pageant queens in our own right,” she tells Dilliard. “But we don’t say it. What is special about you? Because there’s so much more. … There’s so much more to you than that. You can’t tell me that’s it.”

But “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Moore, who won Miss USA in 1993, didn’t seem to appreciate Huger classifying everyone as a pageant queen.

“‘We are all pageants queens in our own right’ Karen 🤦🏾‍♀️ really… how??? #RHOP,” tweeted Moore.

Not one to sit back and take an insult, Huger replied and said, “@KenyaMoore thank you for the pageantry attention. ‘And how?…Still the Queen’ #grandedame #rhop @bravo 😘.”

A reality TV fan account also explained what Huger meant by her remark.

Meanwhile, fans chimed in to give their two cents on the debate.

“All women are pageants queen in their own right. First time agreeing with @KARENHUGER There are so many beautiful women out there and it doesn’t take one to be in a pageant to be called a queen or a beautiful lady. #rhop ladies are all beautiful. Robyn and Ashley are gorgeous.”

“This is going to be Kenya’s new role .. slating all the other housewives because she’s bitter about losing her peach😂.”

“Hey hey now. I like you, but don’t come for the OG of Potomac. You knew what she was trying to say.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
