These are the worst days of her life.
Lisa Rinna called out her former soap opera co-star Robert Kelker-Kelly the âbiggest bully in Hollywood,â who made her live a âliving hellâ on the âDays of Our Livesâ set in her new memoir.
The actor, notably, played Bo Brady on the show, Rinnaâs character Billie Reedâs love interest â but the cast members âhated each other ⊠behind the scenes.â
In âYou Better Believe Iâm Gonna Talk About It,â the âReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsâ star claimed Kelker-Kelly, 61, âwas horrible toâ her.
âIâd go so far as to say verbally abusive,â she alleged. âHe was passive aggressive, manipulative and played weird mind games.
âI had to work with him every day, often half-naked to do love scenes,â the Bravolebrity, 62, continued. âIf I didnât do what he wanted, heâd give me the silent treatment.â
Rinna dubbed him âa ticking time bomb,â adding, âI never knew when I arrived on set each morning if Iâd get nice Robert Kelker-Kelly or dark Robert Kelker-Kelly. He was unpredictable and it was exhausting.â
When her onscreen partner âdisappearedâ from set one day, the actress and co-star Kristian Alfonso were given their âown full-time security detail.â
Rinna told readers, âI wasnât worried about physical harm, but NBC had to cover their ass. We had rent-a-cops parked outside our houses and trailers for three weeks and were driven to and from work.â
Kelker-Kelly was replaced by Peter Reckell, who had previously played Brady.
Rinna, for her part, left the series in 1995 after three years.
A spokesperson for NBC did not immediately respond to Page Sixâs requests for comment.
Elsewhere in her book, Rinna slammed âshadyâ Bravo executive Andy Cohen for publishing their personal texts in his 2023 memoir, âDaddy Diaries: The Year I Grew Up.â
She wrote, âAfter I read it, I was so mad, I threw his book in my fireplace and watched it burn gleefully.â
The âMelrose Placeâ alum, additionally, set the record straight âonce and for allâ on her husband Harry Hamlinâs heterosexuality.
âHe is not a gay man in any way, shape or form, not that thereâs anything wrong with that,â Rinna insisted. âWhen youâre a good-looking man in Hollywood with a good sense of style, that adds up to âis he gay?ââ
She and Hamlin, 74, have been married since 1997 and share two daughters â Delilah Belle, 27, and Amelia Gray, 24.
