Lisa Rinna has made a shocking claim that she was roofied during the premiere party for the television show The Traitors last month. The incident allegedly occurred at the popular West Hollywood nightclub, The Abbey. Rinna, aged 62, detailed her experience in an interview with Fox 5 New York, revealing that toxicology reports showed she had fentanyl and high levels of amphetamines in her system.
Rinna's Allegations of Drugging
During the interview, Rinna stated, "I had fentanyl in my system. Yes. I'm not kidding. I had fentanyl, high levels of amphetamines and other things, but I can't talk a lot about it because we're still dealing with it. It was leaked and my team is dealing with it now." When pressed on whether she could identify who might be responsible for the drugging, she replied, "I can't say, but it was at the Abbey in West Hollywood."
A Pattern of Incidents at The Abbey
Rinna emphasized that this was not an isolated event, alleging a history of similar occurrences at the venue. She said, "So many people that I know have had this happen at the Abbey. All my daughter's friends. I mean, this is not a first-time thing. This is something that's gone on for years." She expressed relief that the issue is now public, adding, "And I do think it needs to be a conversation. And I'm glad now that it's out and we will deal with it. I just haven't had my own time to do that yet."
Reports from TMZ and Party Details
This revelation follows a report by TMZ, which indicated that Rinna suspected she had been drugged at the season four premiere party of The Traitors. According to sources, Rinna was at the event with her co-star Colton Underwood, aged 34, who became concerned when he noticed she was "completely inebriated" despite not having consumed much alcohol. Underwood, who was reportedly with Rinna throughout the night, alerted her team, who then removed her from the party after she participated in a group photo with other cast members.
Uncertainty Over Medical and Police Response
It remains unclear whether the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star sought medical attention at a hospital or if law enforcement was involved in the incident. Photos from the party show Rinna seated at a table with her husband, Harry Hamlin, aged 74, co-star Maura Higgins, and Underwood. The event took place on January 8, as depicted in images from the night.
Rinna's allegations have sparked concerns about safety at nightlife venues, particularly in West Hollywood. Her call for a broader conversation on this issue highlights potential risks associated with such social gatherings. As her team continues to handle the situation, the public awaits further developments and any possible actions from authorities or the venue itself.
