Sorry, this doesn't pass the smell test. The woman was told by one of the cast members that she may have been sexually assaulted, and a light bulb clicked on over the woman's head. There's no proof that her drink contained the date rape drug.

Sounds like a little knifing action is going on here among the cast members. I used to be a huge fan of the Real World and there were always backstabbing and plots against one another.

You gotta be wary with these cases they could go either way. Just the other day a woman falsely accused a Lions' player of rape.

The woman told police she consumed a drink offered by the man and then blacked out.

Why is Rohypnol called the "date rape drug"?

Rohypnol has been associated with date rape, and has also been called the "Forget Pill," "Trip-and-Fall," and "Mind-Erasers." In combination with alcohol, it can induce a blackout with memory loss and a decrease in resistance. Girls and women around the country have reported being raped after being involuntarily sedated with Rohypnol, which was often slipped into their drink by an attacker. The drug has no taste or odor so the victims don't realize what is happening. About ten minutes after ingesting the drug, the woman may feel dizzy and disoriented, simultaneously too hot and too cold, or nauseated. She may experience difficulty speaking and moving, and then pass out. Such victims have no memories of what happened while under the drug's influence.

Unless she was drinking grain moonshine, nobody blacks out after drinking one drink.
