Lisa Rinna, a former cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has claimed that she was drugged at the Season 4 premiere watch party for the reality show The Traitors. Rinna said she took a test that revealed she had high levels of fentanyl and amphetamines in her system after the event, which took place at The Abbey bar in West Hollywood. She said her husband, Harry Hamlin, was able to quickly get her out of the crowded venue. Rinna also stated that this type of incident is not uncommon at The Abbey, and that many of her daughter's friends have had similar experiences there.

Why it matters

Rinna's claims raise concerns about the safety and security at high-profile entertainment events, especially at venues known to have issues with drink tampering and guests feeling unwell. The situation also highlights the broader problem of drug-facilitated crimes, which can have serious consequences for victims.

The details

According to Rinna, she was at the Season 4 premiere watch party for The Traitors at The Abbey in West Hollywood when she began feeling unwell. Her Traitors co-star Colton Underwood noticed she was "completely inebriated" despite not having had much to drink. Rinna's team then got her out of the venue, and she later took a test that revealed the presence of fentanyl and other substances in her system. Rinna said this type of incident is not isolated to her, and that many of her daughter's friends have had similar experiences at The Abbey over the years.

  • The Traitors Season 4 premiere watch party took place on January 8, 2026.
  • Rinna spoke about the incident on Good Day New York on February 26, 2026.

What they’re saying

“Yes, I was.”

— Lisa Rinna (Good Day New York)

“I'm not kidding. 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. It was leaked, and my team is dealing with it now.”

— Lisa Rinna (Good Day New York)

“Luckily my husband, Harry Hamlin, was there, and was able to get me out of there quickly.”

— Lisa Rinna (Good Day New York)

“So many people that I know have had this happen at The Abbey. All my daughter's friends. I mean, this is not a first-time thing. This is something that's gone on for years, and I do think it needs to be a conversation. I'm glad now that it's out, and we will deal with it. I just haven't had my own time to do that yet.”

What’s next

The Abbey has stated that they conducted a thorough internal review and found no evidence of drink tampering or suspicious behavior towards Rinna. However, Rinna's claims have brought attention to the broader issue of drug-facilitated crimes at entertainment events, and it remains to be seen if any further investigation or action will be taken.

The takeaway

Rinna's experience highlights the importance of event organizers and venues prioritizing the safety and security of guests, especially at high-profile entertainment events. The prevalence of drug-facilitated crimes at venues like The Abbey is a concerning issue that needs to be addressed to ensure the wellbeing of all attendees.
