The glamor of Hollywood often belies the challenges that lie beneath the surface. Lisa Rinna‘s latest reflections offer a candid glimpse into navigating the complexities of the entertainment industry. The actress has opened up about the difficulties she encountered while working alongside a “verbally abusive” co-star on Days of Our Lives.
Lisa Rinna says Robert Kelker-Kelly made her ‘life a living hell’ on Days of Our Lives set
Lisa Rinna has revealed that working with Robert Kelker-Kelly on Days of Our Lives was an excruciating experience.
Rinna’s stint on Days of Our Lives catapulted her to fame, with her portrayal of Billie Reed in the 90s. She shared the screen with Robert Kelker-Kelly, who played her on-screen love interest Bo Brady.
However, their chemistry was limited to the script, as the pair didn’t see eye to eye off-camera. Rinna has shed light on the traumatic encounters with her co-star in her memoir, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It.
“Behind the scenes, we hated each other,” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum recounted, before highlighting, “Remember when Kathy Hilton said I was the biggest bully in Hollywood? Not true. Not even close! I have legit stories about the real bullies in this town. Robert Kelker-Kelly is one of those bullies.”
“He made my life a living hell on the set of Days. He was horrible to me,” she further revealed. “I’d go so far as to say verbally abusive. He was passive-aggressive, manipulative and played weird mind games,” Rinna added.
Robert Kelker-Kelly is yet to comment on Lisa Rinna’s allegations, and his representatives have not responded to requests for his side of the story.
Rinna and Kelker-Kelly joined Days of Our Lives together in 1992 and even won a Soap Opera Digest Award for Hottest Soap Couple in 1995 before departing the show the same year.
The Mommy Meanest actress has since reprised her role several times, including in 2021 on Peacock’s Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem. Meanwhile, Kelker-Kelly went on to play Stavros Cassadine on General Hospital.
