Barney explained that the housewives were at a party when a fan offered them drinks. She says that shortly after taking a few sips, both she and Tanous realized they'd been drugged. The drinks were laced with rohypnol, a common date-rape drug.
According to Barney, both women were affected by the substance, but Tanous more severely so -- she was looked at by a doctor and nearly had to be hospitalized.
