Rita then went on to explain her friendship with Sabrina, stating: "She came to one of my show parties for New Year in New York after New Year's Rock and Eve, the show, because she was performing on it and we had a blast. And that it, that was the last I've seen of her."

She also revealed what it was like to party with Sabrina, saying: "It was so cute because she's so cute and small, you know, and her heels were so high.
