Lisa Rinna says lisa rinna was roofied with fentanyl at 'Traitors' premiere party
lisa rinna says she tested positive for fentanyl and high levels of amphetamines after the Season 4 premiere party for The Traitors on Jan. 8 at The Abbey in West Hollywood. The disclosure, made on Good Day New York while Rinna promoted her memoir, has prompted questions about what happened that night and who helped her leave.
What Rinna told Good Day New York about tests and timing
On Good Day New York, Rinna said she confirmed through medical testing that she “had fentanyl in my system” and that the tests showed fentanyl, “high levels of amphetamines and other things. ” She said she took a test after the Jan. 8 party and that she cannot say much publicly because “we’re still dealing with it, ” adding that details “were leaked and my team is dealing with it now. ” Rinna promoted her memoir, You Better Believe I’m Going to Talk About It, during the appearance.
Sequence at The Abbey: Colton Underwood, a group photo and the exit
Rinna said the incident occurred at The Abbey, a bar and nightclub in West Hollywood. Colton Underwood, a fellow Season 4 cast member, noticed Rinna appeared “completely inebriated” despite not having that much to drink and told people he had been with her the whole night. Colton then notified Rinna’s team, and her team got her out of the venue after a group photo; Rinna later thanked her husband, Harry Hamlin, for helping her leave.
Ties to Traitors season drama and public tensions with Colton Underwood
The interaction between Rinna and Underwood has an added layer because the two clashed during their time on The Traitors and were seen going at each other toward the end of the season. Rinna has at times said they were friends after the show wrapped and began airing, but she has also referenced allegations made by Colton Underwood’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Randolph, that he allegedly stalked her and put a tracking device on her car. At a recent book signing for her memoir, Rinna teased she may have said something at the Traitors reunion that upset Underwood, and she noted he unfollowed her on social media; she said the premiere was more than a month ago, and their on-again, off-again friendship may be off at the moment.
Rinna’s account of the venue and similar claims from others
Rinna told interviewers she could not publicly identify who she believes was responsible. She pushed back on suggestions she had simply drunk too much and said many people she knows—“all my daughter’s friends, ” she said—have had similar experiences at The Abbey, calling it “not a first-time thing” and saying it has “gone on for years. ” She added that the issue needs to be a conversation and that she is “glad now that it’s out and we will deal with it, ” though she said she “hasn’t had my own time to do that yet. ”
Medical, legal and public-response uncertainties
Rinna said she tested positive for fentanyl and amphetamines but said it is still being handled by her team. It is unclear in the provided context whether police were involved in the incident or whether Rinna went to the hospital after the party. Representatives for Rinna and for Underwood had not provided a response as of the most recent public statements available in the provided context.
Rinna’s wider TV history, her memoir and Andy Cohen remarks
Rinna spoke about the topic while promoting her memoir, and the broader interview also touched on other material in the book. She has appeared on Days of Our Lives, Melrose Place, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Dancing With the Stars, and she was selected as one of the traitors on Season 4 of The Traitors. She was known on the season for a rivalry with Colton Underwood and for butting heads with fellow traitor Rob Rausch. The season finale airs Thursday night.
The interview additionally referenced Rinna’s complicated history with Andy Cohen, which she addresses in her memoir. Rinna said she was upset after Cohen published her private text messages without her permission and confirmed, when asked, “I was. ” The context notes that Andy Cohen and Lisa Rinna visited SiriusXM Studios on February 10, 2025, in New York City, and that Rinna returned to Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen for the first time in four years, calling that appearance unexpectedly positive.
