Overview
- Rinna writes that Robert Kelker-Kelly “made my life a living hell,” alleging verbal abuse, manipulation, and “weird mind games” during their early-1990s tenure on the soap.
- She says NBC provided full-time security for her and co-star Kristian Alfonso for about three weeks after Kelker-Kelly left, noting she did not fear physical harm.
- News outlets report NBC declined to comment on the claims, and Kelker-Kelly has been contacted for comment with no public response cited in the coverage.
- Kelker-Kelly departed the series in 1995 and was succeeded by original Bo Brady actor Peter Reckell, with a show spokesperson then citing “creative reasons,” according to archival reporting.
- Rinna previously expressed strong animosity toward Kelker-Kelly in a 2015 interview; her memoir, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It, was published this week.
