Lisa Rinna And Kristian Alfonso's Robert Kelker Kelly Drama

In her book You Better Believe I'm Going To Talk About It, Lisa Rinna says robert kelker kelly was a bully on the Days of Our Lives set and that she and Kristian Alfonso received full-time security after he "disappeared" from the production; Rinna called the actor "verbally abusive. "

Robert Kelker Kelly drew security and accusations

Rinna wrote that the disappearance of robert kelker kelly prompted the soap's producers to assign rent-a-cops outside the actresses' houses and trailers and to drive them to and from work for three weeks, because "NBC had to cover their ass. "

Rinna's account: "verbally abusive" and "ticking time bomb"

Rinna, who played Billie Reed from 1992 to 1995, described repeated difficult interactions with her frequent scene partner, calling him "passive aggressive, manipulative, and played weird mind games. " She added, "He was a ticking time bomb. I never knew when I arrived on set each morning if I’d get nice Robert Kelker-Kelly or dark Robert Kelker-Kelly. "

Women on set "looked out for each other"

Rinna said she and Kristian Alfonso commiserated and watched each other's backs on set, and that other cast members pitched in. "All the women on Days did. Christie Clark, Alison Sweeney... we all had each other’s backs, " Rinna wrote, adding that she wasn’t worried about physical harm but that the security detail was precautionary.

Rinna also wrote that early audience support for Billie Reed mattered to her — "That kind of validation meant so much to me" — and that she even thanked Robert Kelker-Kelly at an awards moment, despite saying the pair "hated each other" behind the scenes. She noted winning Newcomer of the Year at the Soap Opera Digest Awards as a highlight of that period.

Rinna tied the personal drama to the show's storyline timeline, noting Billie dated Bo Brady (played by Robert Kelker-Kelly) after Kristian Alfonso left for maternity leave; Rinna also recounted that Kristian’s character Hope Williams had been married to Bo, was allegedly killed, and later returned to the canvas brainwashed as "Princess Gina. "

The episodes and security detail are laid out in Rinna's book You Better Believe I'm Going To Talk About It, where she names the behavior she says made her life "a living hell" on set. "If Robert Kelker-Kelly was in my Housewives orbit today, he never would have gotten away with his behavior, " she wrote.

The book contains Rinna's first-hand account of these incidents and the three-week security assignment that followed the actor's disappearance from the set.
