A chilling revelation has emerged from the world of reality television as Lisa Rinna, star ofThe Traitors US, claims she was deliberately drugged at the show’s premiere party. The actress, 62, described a terrifying experience that left her system showing traces of fentanyl and amphetamines, sparking a disturbing investigation.
The incident unfolded at The Abbey, a well-known West Hollywood gay bar, during a celebration for the fourth season of the hit game show. Rinna alleges this wasn’t an isolated event, revealing a pattern of similar occurrences she’s heard about from numerous acquaintances. A sense of vulnerability and fear now surrounds a venue once considered a safe haven.
Initial reports surfaced on TMZ, suggesting Rinna believed she had been “roofied” at the January 8th party. She has since publicly confirmed her suspicions, stating she “knows” she was drugged, but remains limited in what she can disclose due to ongoing investigations handled by her legal team.
Rinna credits her husband, Harry Hamlin, with swiftly removing her from the situation, potentially averting a far more dangerous outcome. The incident has ignited a crucial conversation about safety and vigilance, particularly within the walls of The Abbey.
The actress voiced concerns that this is a recurring problem, citing similar experiences reported by friends and the daughters of friends. She emphasized the need for open dialogue and preventative measures to protect patrons from this insidious threat.
The Abbey’s current owner, Tristan Schukraft, previously addressed online speculation regarding drink spiking, acknowledging it as a widespread issue, not unique to his establishment. He asserted a zero-tolerance policy, promising immediate removal and legal action against anyone caught tampering with drinks.
Following Rinna’s report, The Abbey conducted an internal review, scrutinizing surveillance footage and interviewing staff. Their investigation, however, yielded no evidence of suspicious activity or drink tampering directed towards Rinna. They maintain a commitment to guest safety and a willingness to cooperate with authorities.
Despite The Abbey’s findings, Rinna remains resolute in her belief that she was intentionally drugged. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the hidden dangers lurking within seemingly safe environments and the urgent need for heightened awareness and proactive safety measures.
The Abbey has reiterated its extensive security measures, including surveillance, trained personnel, and established protocols for addressing potential drink tampering. They urge anyone suspecting their drink has been compromised to immediately report it to management or law enforcement.
