“The Real Housewives of Potomac” (“RHOP”) fans recognize Byars from the infamous scene on the show where Huger held a “press conference” to attempt to clear up rumors concerning her financial situation.
Byars was thrown in the middle of an argument between Huger and her fellow castmates, like Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon, during the gathering Huger held to discuss her husband’s previous tax situation.
Reflecting on the moment, Huger expressed regret for having involved Byars in the drama. “Actually I apologized to Matt during that conversation. I was attempting to make a point with the ladies. My bad,” explained Huger.
