Lisa Rinna experienced a troubling incident at “The Traitors” premiere party on January 8, 2026, as speculations arise that she may have been roofied. An insider revealed to TMZ that her co-star Colton Underwood noticed Rinna was behaving unusually inebriated, which was concerning to him given her typical restraint with alcohol. After voicing his worries to Rinna’s team, they promptly had her removed from the event for her safety.
Underwood’s actions stand out, especially considering the tumultuous dynamic between him and Rinna showcased on the show. Fans recall the intense rivalry they have had since season 4 of “The Traitors,” with Rinna recently teasing their clashes and stating her readiness to bring the drama that fans expect from her. Notably, she had previously called Underwood a “stalker” in reference to his past relationship issues.
Despite their past conflicts, Underwood has shared a more amiable view of Rinna, highlighting their time on the show as a fun rivalry where both were entertaining in their roles. He expressed respect for her, noting their performances were aimed at entertainment rather than hostility. This sentiment contrasts sharply with the harsh comments he faced from viewers during his stint, particularly after a significant conflict with Michael Rapaport.
Beyond this incident, Rinna has opened up about the grueling nature of filming “The Traitors,” describing it as the most challenging job of her career, surpassing even her time on Broadway and “Dancing With the Stars.” The intense psychological and physical demands contributed to the stress of filming, revealing a side of reality television that many fans may not consider.
Adding to the intrigue, Rinna is also gearing up for the release of her memoir, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It,” where she promises to share her truth, including the behind-the-scenes experiences of her reality TV journey and other personal revelations. As she reflects on her career’s ups and downs, the memoir aims to present an unfiltered look at her life in front of and behind the camera.
