Lisa Rinna is speaking out about an investigation into Days of Our Lives director Albert Alarr, claiming that the work environment on the set of the series’ Peacock spinoff, Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem, was “disgusting.”
Years after Lisa last appeared on the soap opera as Billie Reed, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member took to her Instagram Story, where she shared a since-deleted post about the issues she had while also addressing the ongoing strikes in Hollywood.
On July 26, along with a screenshot of an article titled, “Hollywood Strikes Magnify Media Tumult: ‘It Is Existential That We Get This Resolved,” Lisa wrote, “So resolve it.”
Lisa’s post also included an excerpt from the Vanity Fair piece, which declared that labor is “in limbo.”
“As earnings season gets underway, the complete shutdown of scripted entertainment is amplifying the industry’s woes. ‘If this goes past summer,’ says one heavy hitter, ‘it’s gonna start having a real impact,’” the article stated.
As for the allegations against Albert, the former RHOBH cast member shared a statement on the matter, reflecting on her 2021 stint on Beyond Salem.
“‘Days Of Our Lives’ director Albert Alarr faced internal misconduct investigation and was accused of ‘groping’ actresses on hit show – as cast and crew of soap opera are left ‘angered’ by probe outcome,” read the title of a Daily Mail article Lisa posted, via Queens of Bravo on Instagram.
And with the piece, Lisa, who appeared on Days of Our Lives on and off from 1992 to 2018, criticized the Peacock spinoff.
“Well, this took a long time let’s see when’s the last time I went over there and did that week on Peacock. I couldn’t believe the work environment it was disgusting,” she proclaimed. “I was shocked I let many people know how I felt Albert included and they didn’t do a thing until now it seems.”
Lisa also added, in a caption, “Karma is a b-tch.”
Lisa joined the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2014 for season five, and she continued to appear on the Bravo reality series in a full-time role until earlier this year when she announced she was departing after eight seasons.
