Lisa Rinna is not holding back in her new memoir, You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It, and is proving that she's not afraid to call out bullies in Hollywood.
In the new release, the longtime actress, 62, looked back on her time on Days of Our Lives and shared that there was one co-star in particular who ruined her experience on the show. Rinna revealed that it was her on-screen love interest Robert Kelker-Kelly, accusing him of making her life on set a "living hell."
Rinna, who portrayed Billie Reed, was cast on the show in 1992 shortly after Kelker-Kelly assumed the role of Bo Brady.
"Behind the scenes, we hated each other," she wrote, per People. “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.”

She continued, "He made my life a living hell on the set of Days. He was horrible to me. I’d go so far as to say verbally abusive. He was passive-aggressive, manipulative and played weird mind games."
Reflecting on the experience, Rinna admitted that she struggled to navigate filming together, which included love scenes where they were "often half naked."
“If I didn’t do what he wanted, he’d give me the silent treatment," she alleged in the book. “He was a ticking time bomb. I never knew when I arrived on set each morning if I’d get nice Robert Kelker-Kelly or dark Robert Kelker-Kelly. He was unpredictable and it was exhausting.”
Despite the struggle, Rinna says she never stood up to Kelker-Kelly, which she now regrets.
"I was too young, and I was not willing to make waves at my awesome new job," she explained. "I still lacked assertiveness and self-confidence when it came to men. If Robert Kelker-Kelly was in my Housewives orbit today, he never would have gotten away with his behavior.”
The pair continued to work together until 1995 when they both left the long-running series. Since their individual departures, other Days of Our Lives cast members have spoken out about Kelker-Kelly, including actress Crystal Chappell. In her memoir, The Perfect Art of Imperfection: My Life So Far, Chappell also called out Kelker-Kelly.
"I have no idea what the problem was and I didn't much care. All I knew was that from the minute he walked onto the set, I found him to be an aggressive, mean-spirited bully...I was afraid of him," she wrote.
