Lisa Rinna has claimed that she was roofied while at a premiere party last month.
During an appearance on Good Day New York on Thursday, Feb. 26, the actress, 62, claimed that she was drugged at The Traitors season 4 premiere party in January. After the incident, she revealed she underwent a drug test, which came back positive.
“I had fentanyl in my system — I’m not kidding,” Rinna said. “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.”
“Luckily, my husband was there and was able to get me out of there quickly,” she added of husband Harry Hamlin. “Because I saw other things like, ‘Oh, Lisa was just drunk.’ But no.”
Explaining that she would not be publicly identifying who she thinks was responsible, Rinna alleged that it occurred at The Abbey, a popular bar in West Hollywood, Calif., where the event was held. She further claimed that “so many people that I know have had this happen” at the venue, including her daughters’ friends.
“This is not a first time thing,” she alleged. “This is something that’s gone on for years, and I do think it needs to be a conversation. And 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.”

In a statement to PEOPLE, The Abbey confirmed that they had been made aware of Rinna’s claims.
“Lisa’s team shared concerns with us following her visit, and we immediately conducted a thorough internal review,” the statement read. “When she became unwell, our security team assisted her and escorted her safely out of the venue. 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.”
“We cannot speak to medical findings and do not want to speculate about toxicology results,” the statement continued. “We take any report of a guest feeling unwell or unsafe extremely seriously and follow established investigative protocols.”
“Drink tampering is a crime. If any guest believes their drink has been compromised, we strongly encourage them to report it immediately, either to our management team so we can respond in real time, or directly to law enforcement if they prefer.”
The statement concluded: “The Abbey has extensive surveillance coverage, trained security personnel, and ongoing drink-safety measures in place. Guest safety remains our highest priority.”
