The Traitors celebrated the premiere of Season 4 with a cast party.

Unfortunately, Lisa Rinna got more than she bargained for in the process.

She’s debunking claims that she drank too much. What actually happened was more sinister.

Someone dosed her with fentanyl and more, Lisa warns.

Getting dosed with fentanyl (and more) is beyond your average roofie

According to Lisa, her post-The Traitors night out in West Hollywood led to alarming symptoms.

The culprit? Someone dosed her drink with a drug cocktail.

“Did you take like a test or something?” Good Day New York co-host Rosanna Scotto asked.

“I did,” the actress and Bravolebrity confirmed. “I had fentanyl in my system.”

Lisa continued: “Yes. I’m not kidding. I had fentanyl, high levels of amphetamines, and other things.”

If you want further details, however, you may have to wait until pending matters are resolved.

“But I can’t talk a lot about it because we’re still dealing with it,” Lisa shared apologetically.

She explained: “It was leaked and my team is dealing with it now.”

As for the culprit? If Lisa has any theories, she isn’t sharing.

“I can’t say,” she admitted before revealing the venue: “But it was at the Abbey in West Hollywood.”

Thankfully, it sounds like she’s okay

One of the (multiple) good reasons to not go out drinking or partying solo is that someone might, well, poison you.

Fortunately, Lisa was not alone. Her husband, Harry Hamlin, was by her side. He helped her to leave.

“So many people that I know have had this happen at the Abbey. All my daughter’s friends,” she stated.

“I mean, this is not a first-time thing,” Lisa emphasized. “This is something that’s gone on for years.”

She continued: “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.”

The Abbey is a well-known West Hollywood bar and nightclub. It is the inspiration for Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club.”

So well known, in fact, that even those of us who live on the other side of the country know that it is a notorious location for malefactors to strike.

There are numerous stories of pickpocketing rings who target patrons at the bar and adjoining nightclub. Pickpockets will sometimes roofie bar patrons (this is not exclusive to The Abbey) to make them easier to rob.

The Abbey is a famous — even historic — gay bar and a fixture within Boystown, with hundreds of employees.

But Lisa is, as she notes, far from the first person who has had her night out ruined by an opportunist who sees the guests as easy pickings.

We’re glad that she seems to be okay

It’s very likely that Lisa would not even be discussing this publicly if the story had not leaked.

Whether or not she has identified the culprit who dosed her drink, it appears that she will be taking legal action.

Pickpocketing is not a victimless crime. Even if someone has enough extra cash to go clubbing, losing more than they planned to spend could mean missing rent, being unable to get a safe ride home, or worse.

We’re sorry that this happened to Lisa. We’re sorry that this happened to anyone.

It’s unclear if she’ll be able to identify those responsible — but it has to be a good thing that she’s making the effort.

Early this year, police arrested Timothy Busfield for the alleged molestation of twin boys.

The actor has maintained his innocence in this case.

He has been accused of other sexual assault instances, but those allegations were very different.

A member of Julia Roberts’ family testified about those allegations.

This deposition dates back to his 1994 sexual assault allegations

In 1994, Eliza Roberts — sister-in-law of Julia Roberts, wife of Eric Roberts, and stepmother of Emma Roberts — gave testimony in a deposition.

Eliza was speaking in support of a 17-year-old girl who accused Busfield of sexual assault.

This was on the set of Little Big League, a comedy film.

At the time, Eliza had only been a Roberts for about two years.

She testified about an alleged creepy overture from Busfield years earlier.

According to Eliza, five years before the deposition, Busfield had told her with little preamble that he would like to perform oral sex upon her.

RadarOnline reports that he allegedly boasted to her that he would be “so great in bed” for her, specifically.

Busfield allegedly disparaged his wife as a “lousy f–k” at the time.

(In 1988, he married his second wife, fashion designer Jennifer Merwin. They share two children, and divorced in 2007.)

Despite the testimony, the alleged incident with the Minnesota never led to criminal charges. Instead, Busfield settled with the teenager for an undisclosed amount.

Every part of this is just SO upsetting

The actor is also accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl at a 2001 audition, including touching her genitals without her consent.

Busfield’s current charges strike a different tone, and not only because of the gender of the alleged victims. Age is also a huge factor.

The allegations that led to his arrest earlier this year are that he sexually abused twin boys, who were child actors on The Cleaning Lady, from November 2022 until early 2024.

Neither boy has been publicly identified. We do know that both boys are now 11.

Busfield has characterized the allegations as “horrible lies.” He declared: “I did not do anything to those little boys, and I’m gonna fight it.”

In the case of the twin actors — the one that has led to Busfield’s arrest and current legal proceedings — he is not the only one claiming that he is innocent.

A witness has disputed the Busfield allegations.

The witness from The Cleaning Lady‘s set insisted that no one, including Busfield, would have had access or privacy to prey upon any children on the set.

Perhaps more significantly, the witness alleged that the boys’ mother had vowed revenge on Busfield after he had declined to re-hire her twins for their role.

Additionally, it is reported that the boys had denied any sexual wrongdoing to a therapist before working with a new therapist.

People have a lot of theories but few solid answers

To be clear, there is no evidence (or even, as far as we have seen, suggestion) that any teenage girl accusers have only identified Busfield as a predator after dubious therapy sessions.

Though the actor has no prior criminal history,

It is possible for a predator to have a wide range of victims, or to show little-to-no preference, or to have an array of victims who remain secret and thus do not show a pattern of preference.

At the same time, it is conceivable that a public figure with an already dubious (at best) reputation could become a target for allegations that are untrue and do not fit with his prior bad acts.

To be blunt, there is a lot that we do not know about this case. Hopefully, evidence at trial will point a blazing arrow to the truth.

Actor Crispin Glover — best known for his work in films like Back to the Future and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape — is at the center of a shocking new scandal.

The suit was filed by a woman identified as a “model originally from the United Kingdom who lives with autism spectrum disorder and related mood disorders.”

She claims that after meeting Glover online in 2015, he convinced her to move to Los Angeles, where they entered an increasingly abusive relationship.

The plaintiff alleges that Glover “coerced her into living with him” and subjected her to “increasingly bizarre and inappropriate demands.”

She claims he tracked her movements, and when she began to indicate that she wished to move out, he physically assaulted her, “leaving a visible wound and scar on her neck.”

The woman alleges that at her lowest point, she was reduced to living as Glover’s “sex slave.”

The suit details a number of bizarre encounters between Glover and the defendant, including a 2023 in-person meeting in Dresden, Germany, during which he “showed off several items of Nazi memorabilia from his collection.”

Through his lawyer, Glover denied “these baseless allegations in the strongest possible terms,” in a statement published by Entertainment Weekly.

“The reality is that on March 2, 2024, Mr. Glover was the victim of an unprovoked felony assault by Jane Doe at his Los Angeles residence. Mr. Glover called LAPD, which came to the scene, investigated, and arrested Jane Doe,” the statement continues.

“These facts are documented by law enforcement records and by the restraining order filed by Mr. Glover against Jane Doe at that time.

“Mr. Glover intends to vigorously defend himself and pursue all available relief. He is confident the judicial process will expose this lawsuit as a meritless fabrication.”

The plaintiff claims that she was left homeless due to a “wrongful” eviction executed by Glover.

She alleges that he forcibly kicked her out of the home they shared and refused to allow her to take her cats with her.

In her complaint, the plaintiff alleges that she “continues to suffer great pain of mind and body, shock, emotional distress, physical manifestations of emotional distress, embarrassment, loss of self-esteem, traumatic injuries.”

Glover filed a restraining order against a former partner in 2024, but the request was dismissed when he failed to show in court.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

In recent months, Candace Owens has been speaking of Charlie Kirk as her fallen bestie.

She has said much more outlandish things about the deceased far-right podcaster.

Many of her comments have been about his controversial widow.

Right now, she’s claiming that Erika Kirk’s birth date is phony.

‘I don’t know that she’s aware that she’s lying’

On the Wednesday, February 25 episode of her docuseries, Bride of Charlie, Candace once again had Erika in her crosshairs.

“I will tell you my personal opinion and experience with her,” she said during the video.

“What alarms me about Erika isn’t so much the fact that she lies,” Candace alleged, “which we will prove to you over and over again.”

She explained: “But it’s also the fact that I don’t know that she’s aware that she’s lying.”

Using what one hopes is a metaphor, Candace claimed that “the version [Erika is] telling us today or yesterday was just recently downloaded into her mind and she therefore thinks it’s true.”

“[It’s] like a faulty memory or something,” Candace continued.

She clarified: “I’m saying I’m not sure that she’s fully aware that she’s lying because some of the lies are so stupid.”

Those are big words coming from the woman who transvestigated Brigitte Macron and generally makes statements untethered from reality.

However, the old adage says that even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Like so much of reality, that doesn’t necessarily hold up in the digital age. But is it possible that Candace is onto something about Erika’s origins?

Some of this paperwork isn’t matching up

As the episode continues, Candace pitches a conspiracy theory that Erika’s aunt, Karla, might be her biological mother. (Erika’s biological parents are Kent and Lori Frantzve.)

Erika was born on November 20, 1988, in Cincinnati, Ohio.

But Candace read Kent and Lori’s divorce filing, form 1998, which lists their daughter’s birth as November 22, not November 20.

Lori filed the petition, which includes very little personal information. But the couple apparently married on November 20, 1995 — which would have been the date of Erika’s 7th birthday.

The separation agreement lists the date of marriage as November 7, 1982.

Candace also laid into the suggestion that Erika was raised by a single mom, accusing her of lying about Kent’s involvement following her parents’ split.

“I have spoken to classmates, past boyfriends,” Candace claimed.

“And,” she alleged, “people are generally bewildered about why Erika is now representing that she does not have a relationship with Kent.”

Candace added: “Also, if we remove Kent, Erika was raised with her stepfather [Larry] in her home.”

Many children of divorce have credited a single parent even if the other parent was arguably in the picture. The parent eventually remarrying doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a time when they were still both single and a parent.

Could there be an easier explanation than … whatever Candace is arguing?

Everything looks like a conspiracy when you don’t know how things work.

Divorce documents might be filled out by an overwhelmed and deeply upset person — or even by an attorney or a helpful friend. Getting dates wrong in initial filings happens.

Additionally, conservative grifters operate by identifying a real problem — like the deep rot that is TPUSA and Erika’s role in all of this — and then presenting a bogus or even absurd explanation or solution.

Candace is genuinely very skilled at this. This is why she’s much better at being an influencer in extreme-right spaces than she was in her early days, when she was just posting cute cat videos like a normal person.

But, in real life, it seems more likely that people got some dates wrong on paperwork in the ’90s than that Erika’s whole life is a lie.

It probably sucks to try to make the best of a bad situation, only to end up one of the far right’s most divisive figures.

That said … given that Erika has chosen to be the exact sort of person that Charlie was in life, it’s hard to feel sorry for her when she’s the target of misinformation.

There is evidence to suggest that Candace’s war on Erika has done real damage to TPUSA. That can only be a good thing, as a weaker TPUSA can do less damage to our nation.

Obviously, Candace is not doing this for a good cause. It’s more like TPUSA may be taking some collateral damage in what critics have characterized as a grift. But even her most avowed haters don’t agree about whether it’s deliberate or not.

When she accuses Erika of “lying” about herself, possibly without knowing that she’s doing it, is it just projection?

As the weeks turn into months, the search for Nancy Guthrie seems less and less likely to yield results.

But her family, including Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, is not giving up hope.

Earlier this week, Savannah offered $1 million to anyone with information regarding her mother’s whereabouts.

“We need to know where she is,” Savannah said in a video posted to Instagram, adding that, if Nancy is dead, “we accept it.

“We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone,” she continued.

It was the first time that Savannah publicly acknowledged that her mother may have passed.

And according to former FBI special agent and crisis negotiator Jason Pack, she was using “coded language” in an effort to appeal to the kidnapper’s conscience.

“Savannah’s language, ‘We believe in the essential goodness of every human being, it is never too late,’ is not just a grieving daughter reaching for comfort,” Pack tells Radar Online.

“That is a theologically grounded appeal to conscience, and it is one of the most powerful tools in a negotiator’s kit,” he continued, adding:

“When someone is holding a secret that heavy, the belief that redemption is still possible is sometimes the only thing that moves them.

“The family’s visible, public faith is not incidental to this case. It is a strategic asset.”

Another law enforcement veteran tells Radar that he believes Nancy was kidnapped by someone she knows.

“This guy was wearing a mask. He didn’t want to be identified — not only by the public but also by Nancy,’ he explained,” says Chris McDonough, a retired homicide detective who now works with the Cold Case Foundation

“We don’t know if Nancy got alerts on her phone when someone was at her door. But she could have watched the footage from the first time and seen the guy. He didn’t want her to see his face,” he continues, adding:

“She was a targeted victim, and the perpetrator had an association at some point with her house or the victim.

“That’s a pattern. And a pattern tells investigators this wasn’t impulsive. This took planning.”

McDonough went on to say that the video from Nancy’s Nest camera illuminates the kidnapper’s methods and motives.

“When you see someone appearing in video at different locations, different timeframes, potentially different phases of the same criminal act, investigators immediately begin asking: what was the purpose of each appearance? Was the first video a surveillance run, checking the environment, checking the exits?” he says.

“And that matters significantly from a legal standpoint, because premeditation and planning elevate the severity of what investigators are looking at.”

Understandably, Savannah and the rest of the Guthrie family are reaching a point of absolute desperation.

And with each passing day, the likelihood of Nancy being returned to them diminishes.

Earlier this week, Taylor Swift released behind-the-scenes footage from her “Opalite” recording sessions.

Swifties eat up any new content proffered by their queen, but this time, the pics and video are receiving even more attention than usual.

There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is that Taylor went makeup-free in the video, a move that many fans praised.

The footage has yielded plenty of social media commentary, but perhaps none has received more attention than an X (formerly Twitter) post with nothing more than the photo above and the words “She’s pregnant.”

The poster did not elaborate on their theory, and Taylor pregnancy rumors are certainly nothing new, but this one stirred up a lot of controversy and debate.

“My exact thought, look at her nose. Mine got all fat like that in my first trimester,” one commenter wrote.

But that person was very much in the minority, as most people pointed out that this is an old photo and contains exactly zero proof of pregnancy.

“This video is from summer 2024. and btw it’s disgusting and invasive to comment on a woman’s body,” one person wrote.

“It’s called being comfortable in one’s own skin,” another added.

“That picture is from when she was making TLOASG we have seen her since she clearly is not? Weird as hell assumption to make,” a third pointed out.

As for Taylor, she hasn’t commented on the controversy, but she’s clearly enjoying sharing this new footage with fans.

“Just a few Opalite memories to celebrate the Hot 100 #1 you guys just got this song!!” she wrote when sharing the clip on Instagram, adding:

“I can’t even sum up my excitement and I’m so blown away by the love you’ve shown this song and video.”

She also noted that this is only the second time she has had two songs from the same album climb to the number one spot on the Hot 100 chart — with the last album being 2014’s 1989.

“I know that’s a lot of numbers but it all adds up to me being so thankful to the fans who helped make this happen by welcoming this song into your lives with open arms,” Taylor added.

“Seriously bouncing off the walls about this!!”

Clearly, she’s got bigger things on her mind than pregnancy rumors. But you can expect those to circulate even more often once she and Travis Kelce get married!
