In a since-deleted Instagram story (which Daily Mail managed to snag a screen shot of), Rinna — who in 2021 reprised her Days role of Billie Reed in the inaugural season of the Peacock offshoot Beyond Salem — said, “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. I was shocked. I let many people know how I felt — Albert included.”
TVLine has reached out to Rinna’s camp for comment.
In a statement, Days‘ producer Corday Productions confirmed that it “engaged Sony Pictures Television, which distributes Days of our Lives, to conduct an impartial investigation into this matter. After a two-month investigation, the independent investigator produced a report with its findings. Based on those findings, Corday Productions has taken a series of actions designed to ensure a safe and respectful work environment.”
Per Deadline, Alarr received a written warning and was asked to undergo training. However, he retained his positions as co-EP and director, “sparking outrage among cast and crew.”
