Reality TV star Lisa Rinna has claimed that she was 'drugged with fentanyl' while attending the premiere party for The Celebrity Traitors.

The 62-year-old has alleged that tests revealed she had a concerning cocktail of illegal substances in her system after attending the bash last month.

The cast of season four were attending a party at a popular California club, The Abbey, when she claims to have been spiked.

During an appearance on Good Day New York on Thursday (26 February), Rinna revealed that she was thankfully okay despite the terrifying incident.

Asked to clarify what had happened in wake of the premiere party, the mother-of-two said: "I had fentanyl in my system - 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."

She went on to say that her husband of nearly three decades, Mad Men star Harry Hamlin, was able to whisk her to safety when he realised something wasn't right.

"Luckily, my husband was there and able to get me out of there quickly," she said. "Because I saw other things like, ‘Oh, Lisa was just drunk.’ But no."

Rinna went on to claim that this is not the first time she has heard rumours swirling about people allegedly being drugged on the California party scene.

She alleged that friends of her famous daughters, models Amelia and Delilah Hamlin, have also had similar experiences.

“This is not a first-time thing,” she claimed. “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.”

In a statement to LADbible Group, The Abbey said in regards to Rinna’s claims: “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.

"Lisa’s team shared concerns with us following her visit, and we immediately conducted a thorough internal review. 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.”

The Abbey added: “We cannot speak to medical findings and do not want to speculate about toxicology results. We take any report of a guest feeling unwell or unsafe extremely seriously and follow established investigative protocols. The Abbey has extensive surveillance coverage, trained security personnel, and ongoing drink-safety measures in place. Guest safety remains our highest priority.”
