Lisa Rinna Says She Believes She Was Drugged at The Traitors Premiere Party
By Alexus Mosley
Lisa Rinna believes she may have been drugged at The Traitors Season 4 premiere party earlier this year, according to reports that have been circulating across entertainment outlets.
Sources familiar with the situation told TMZ that during the January 8 event at West Hollywood’s The Abbey, a promotional party tied to the Peacock reality show, Rinna appeared much more inebriated than expected, despite having had only a small amount to drink. Co-star Colton Underwood, who reportedly spent much of the evening with her, noticed the discrepancy and became concerned, per the sources.
Underwood is said to have alerted Rinna’s team, and she was taken out of the party early, though it’s not clear whether police were called or if Rinna sought medical care afterward. Neither detail has been confirmed by authorities or by Rinna’s representatives.
At this time, there is no official confirmation that Rinna was drugged, and the reporting relies on unnamed insiders rather than statements from Rinna herself or law enforcement. TMZ and other outlets note the claims are alleged and should be treated with caution. Adding another layer to the story, Rinna has posted cryptic messages on social media referencing conversations about safety issues at The Abbey, including mentions of drug-related concerns at the venue. Though she has not publicly explained that content in connection with this specific incident.
The situation has also reignited attention on Rinna’s on-and-off-screen dynamic with Underwood. The two clashed visibly on The Traitors, and Rinna has hinted at tension between them since the series aired, including suggesting she may have upset Underwood at the Traitors reunion, which she says led him to unfollow her on social media.
Representatives for Rinna and Underwood have both been contacted for comment, but no public statements have been issued as of this writing.
