Karen thanked NBCUniversal and Bravo for the “warm and welcoming energy” during her big BravoCon comeback in Las Vegas over the weekend.
She also shouted out designer Charles Elliott Harbison … calling him her new favorite person for creating her white peplum look with black and white floral appliques. Karen said he “honored my light” and helped shape a moment that “feels fresh and aligned” as she enters her “new chapter.”

Karen skipped the RHOP panel Friday but shocked fans later that night when she stepped onstage at “The Bravos” to present the first award.
Her return comes two months after she was released six months early from the Montgomery County Detention Center, where she was serving a one-year sentence tied to her 2024 DUI crash in Potomac, MD.
