Pouty Housewife Lisa Rinna is refusing to remain tight-lipped about allegedly being drugged at a West Hollywood nightclub — and sources say the TV personality considers herself fortunate to have survived the ordeal.
“Lisa says she feels lucky to be alive after what she went through,” says an insider. “She claims she’s never experienced that level of disorientation or fear before.”

The drama went down during the Jan. 8 premiere party for The Traitors at The Abbey, with costar Colton Underwood, 34, raising concerns about the Melrose Place beauty’s inexplicably “inebriated” state after she hadn’t had much alcohol to drink, TMZ reported.
“I had fentanyl in my system,” Lisa, 62, claimed to Good Day New York, alleging testing also showed “high levels of amphetamines and other things.”

She credits longtime partner Harry Hamlin, 74, with saving her from the terrifying ordeal. “My husband was there and was able to get me out of there quickly,” says the daytime diva.
Following the alleged incident, The Abbey told Page Six it “conducted a thorough internal review,” but found “no evidence” of any dubious behavior, including drink-spiking, towards the star before she became “unwell.”
The popular hot spot further pointed out that there’s “extensive surveillance coverage, trained security personnel and ongoing drink-safety measures in place” to maintain guest welfare.
According to the insider, the You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It author is now pushing local cops to “do a deeper investigation.”

While Lisa declined to name who she thinks the depraved culprit was in her case, she alleges there’s a pattern of patrons being roofied at The Abbey. In the past, the establishment called such accusations “wild conspiracy theories,” Page Six reported.
“Lisa wants everyone held accountable over this,” says the insider. “She’s willing to spend whatever time and money it takes to make that happen.”
But the Days of Our Lives alum is struggling to move on as she waits for justice.
“This whole experience has genuinely shaken her,” dishes the insider. “Lisa says she keeps having nightmares about it.”
Adds the insider, “If Lisa had been given much more, she would have died. That’s terrifying for her, and she’s saying it’s now her job to make sure this doesn’t happen to anyone else.”
