Lisa Rinna singles out yet ANOTHER ‘rude’ celebrity who wronged her as she calls the woman a crude name

by

Lisa Rinna has been on a tear as she names names of people who have gotten in her way.

The reality TV star previously revealed in her memoir, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It, that Andy Cohen and Dionne Warwick had treated her poorly.

Now the brunette has named Star Jones as a celebrity who was nasty to her.

Rinna alleges that Jones betrayed her and then surprisingly thanked her for being unpleasant, claiming that Jones’ behavior actually helped prepare her for the challenges of being on ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’.

The actress said she didn’t feel she could trust her female co-stars on the show. She explained that she hadn’t previously encountered such intense negativity between women.

Rinna worked with Jones on The Celebrity Apprentice. 

The 62-year-old revealed that her most unpleasant experience in the entertainment industry happened in the early 1990s while working on the show Days of Our Lives.

Rinna, known for her role as Billie Reed on the soap opera, revealed that her co-star Robert Kelker-Kelly, who played Bo Brady, made her experience on the show very difficult.

‘Behind the scenes we hated each other,’ she wrote in the book. 

You might recall Kathy Hilton calling me a bully, but that’s just not accurate. I actually know a lot about who the real bullies are in Hollywood. Robert Kelker-Kelly is definitely one of them.

Working with him on the set of Days was a terrible experience. He treated me badly, and I would describe his behavior as verbally abusive. He was constantly passive-aggressive, manipulative, and seemed to enjoy playing mind games.

She explained that working with him was difficult, as they frequently filmed intimate scenes requiring partial nudity. She felt pressured because he would stop speaking to her if she didn’t comply with his demands.

He was a volatile person, and working with him was draining. You never knew what mood you’d find him in each day – sometimes he was pleasant, other times difficult. His unpredictability made it exhausting to be around him.

Rinna felt a sense of relief when the actor suddenly departed, and Peter Reckell—who famously portrayed Bo Brady from 1983 to 1992—stepped in to take his place.

She stated that after his departure, NBC provided her and her co-star, Kristian Alfonso (who played Hope Brady, Kelker-Kelly’s other love interest), with a security team. However, she didn’t believe he posed any real danger and felt the security was an overreaction.

She claims he vanished from the set of ‘Days’ unexpectedly, and shortly after, Kristian and she were assigned full-time security.

I didn’t fear for my safety, but NBC wanted to avoid any potential problems. For three weeks, they hired security to watch our homes and trailers, and we were even given rides to and from work.

NBC declined to respond when reached for comment. Kelker-Kelly has also been contacted for comment.

Oh my gosh, Rinna as Billie Reed on Days of Our Lives? Seriously, those years – 1992 to 1995 – were EVERYTHING! I was totally devastated when she left, I mean, who could replace Rinna? It was so unfair! They brought in Krista Allen, and it just wasn’t the same, not even close. I still miss Rinna’s Billie so much!

Oh, and after leaving Days, Kelker-Kelly just kept working! Can you believe it? He was on Another World and then General Hospital for years! He was just amazing in everything, honestly. I followed his career everywhere!

He later left Hollywood to become a professional pilot and flight instructor. 

This isn’t the first time Rinna has spoken about her difficult experience with Kelker-Kelly; she’s shared it before in her latest book.

In a 2015 interview with Bravo, Lisa Rinna admitted she strongly disliked Robert Kelker-Kelly, saying she ‘hated him with a passion!’

She explained that he intensely disliked her. They were a very unstable pair, but their on-screen connection seemed like genuine love and attraction, which she attributed to their strong acting skills.

Following her role on Days of Our Lives, Rinna joined the cast of Melrose Place for its last three seasons.

Oh my gosh, she just kept coming back to Days of Our Lives! It was the best! I was so thrilled every time – she’d reappear in 2002, then again in 2012, and even in 2018! Each return felt like a gift, honestly. I was completely obsessed and lived for those moments!

Rinna also starred in the short-lived spin-off series Days Of Our Lives: Beyond Salem in 2021. 

She was most recently seen starring in season four of The Traitors.
