Lisa Rinna Says She Was Drugged at ‘Traitors’ Premiere Party
Lisa Rinna experienced a harrowing night out.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum recently said she thinks she was drugged during a Traitors premiere party in Los Angeles in January—something she says she confirmed with a drug test.
“I had fentanyl in my system, yes—I’m not kidding,” she said during a Feb. 26 appearance on Good Day New York. “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.”
Thankfully, she said her husband Harry Hamlin was present and "able to get me out of there quickly.”
As for reports that suggested Lisa had simply been “too drunk,” she affirmed, “I was not. I know.”
And while she said she “can’t say” whether she suspects who in particular may have drugged her beverage, the 62-year-old confirmed the alleged incident occurred at The Abbey in West Hollywood.
E! News reached out to Peacock for comment. The Abbey, meanwhile, shared in a statement with E! News that it “immediately conducted a thorough internal review” following Lisa’s concerns.

“When she became unwell, our security team assisted her and escorted her safely out of the venue,” the statement noted. “We pulled and reviewed all available surveillance footage from the time in question and interviewed staff on duty. We found no evidence of drink tampering or suspicious behavior toward her.”
While the bar said it cannot speculate about toxicology results, it affirmed it takes and reports of guests feeling “unwell or unsafe extremely seriously and follow established investigative protocols,” and also encouraged visitors to report immediately if they feel their beverage may have been compromised.

“The Abbey has extensive surveillance coverage, trained security personnel, and ongoing drink-safety measures in place,” the statement concluded. “Guest safety remains our highest priority.”
But while Lisa can only share so much when it comes to her experience, she did express her gratitude that sharing her story may raise awareness about this issue.
“This is not a first-time thing, this is something that has gone on for years,” Lisa said. “I do think it needs to be a conversation and I’m glad now that it’s out, we will deal with it. I just haven’t had my own time to do that yet.”
