Robert Kelker-Kelly Was Recently Accused of Being a Bully
According to Lisa Rinna, who was a co-star of Robert's from Days Of Lives, the daytime actor was one the 'biggest bully in Hollywood.' In her recently released memoir, Rinna noted that Robert was 'horrible' to her.
"I'd go so far as to say verbally abusive," she alleged, via Page Six. "He was passive aggressive, manipulative and played weird mind games. I had to work with him every day, often half-naked to do love scenes. If I didn't do what he wanted, he'd give me the silent treatment."
Rinna continued by noting that Robert could be unpredictable.
"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."
Currently, no details regarding Robert's funeral have been made public. That information is likely to remain private for family and close friends.
