Lisa Rinna suspects she was drugged at the season four premiere party for The Traitors, held at The Abbey in West Hollywood on January 8.
Details of the Incident
The 62-year-old actress appeared completely inebriated despite consuming little alcohol, close to the event. Her co-star Colton Underwood, 34, stayed by her side throughout the night and grew concerned over her condition. He alerted her team, who escorted her from the party after she posed for a group photo with fellow cast members.
No confirmation exists on whether Rinna sought medical attention or if authorities got involved.
Party Attendees and Photos
Images from the evening capture Rinna at a table with her husband, Harry Hamlin, 74, co-star Maura Higgins, and Underwood. Underwood’s husband, Jordan C. Brown, also attended the gathering.
Ongoing Tensions with Underwood
Rinna and Underwood clashed frequently during filming of The Traitors. She reportedly confronted him again during the season reunion taping earlier this month.
At a February 21 book signing for her memoir at a Los Angeles Barnes & Noble, Rinna addressed their dynamic. When a fan asked about her friendships with castmates, she replied, “Pretty much everyone,” before noting, “Except maybe Colton is mad at me because he unfollowed me.”
“He unfollowed me like a boyfriend, girlfriend thing. I was like, ‘Wait what?’ Don’t exes unfollow each other? Anyway, guess I might have said something at the reunion that got him mad,” she continued. Rinna emphasized, “It was all in game play,” and clarified she avoided personal attacks, including references to Underwood’s past.
Past Social Media Exchange
Underwood faced a temporary restraining order in 2020 from ex-girlfriend Cassie Randolph, who alleged he planted a tracker on her car and harassed her. She later dropped the order, and they settled privately. Underwood stated at the time, “The two of us were able to reach a private agreement to address any of Cassie’s concerns.”
Last month, Rinna commented “Let’s talk about you being a stalker…” on a social media post mocking Underwood, drawing from his history. She later apologized in a video, saying, “It’s come to my attention that my post… is taking on a life of its own.” Rinna added, “Colton and I are great. He was a great nemesis for me on the show.”
The Traitors season four finale airs on Peacock on February 26.
