AMERICAN Pie star Tara Reid was taken to hospital after allegedly being drugged in a Chicago bar.
Footage obtained by TMZ showed the actress, 50, slumped in a wheelchair in a hotel lobby before being put onto a stretcher by paramedics and taken to hospital.
Reid called the night a “big blur” but insisted she had only had one drink before being taken ill.
The 90s film pin-up spoke to TMZ Live yesterday and revealed how she left her drink in the hotel bar to go and have a smoke, and when she returned there was a napkin covering it, which wasn’t how she had left it.
She said: “And then I drank my drink, and without even finishing my drink, I just passed out. And before I knew it, I was in the hospital eight hours later.”
The person who filmed the incident told the publication that Reid was yelling, “You don’t know who I am. I am famous. I’m an actress,” before medics arrived.
Tara was allegedly told by hospital doctors that she had been drugged, though said no tests were undertaken to determine what the drug was or her blood alcohol level.
She continued: “It was all kind of vague. It was all like very blurry, do you know what I mean? I can’t even explain it because I don’t even know what happened.”
When she came around, Tara left hospital with her agent and went straight to a signing before heading home.
A representative for the star said, “Tara Reid has filed a police report after an incident in which she believes her drink was tampered with.
“She is cooperating fully with the investigation. Tara is recovering and asks for privacy during this traumatic time.
“She also urges everyone to be careful, watch your drinks and never leave them unattended, as this can happen to anyone. She will not be making further comments at this stage.”
Tara’s screen career began in the 90s with small roles on the soap opera Days of Our Lives and teen sitcom Saved by the Bell: The New Class.
In 1998 she appeared in slasher flick Urban Legend, teen drama Cruel Intentions and cult hit crime comedy The Big Lebowski.
But it was as sexy virgin Vicky in American Pie and its sequels that really made her famous.
Tara’s career stalled in the mid-2000s with a string of critical and commercial flops including Jose and the Pussycat, Van Wilder and Alone in the Dark, for which she received a Razzie Award nomination for Worst Actress.
To make matters worse, she suffered two botched plastic surgery procedures in 2004, including breast implants and a body contouring procedure meant to give her a six-pack.
She later said she’d asked the surgeon for B cups, but he gave her Cs, and told US Weekly: “My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing. I had a hernia, this huge bump next to my belly button.
“As a result, I couldn’t wear a bikini. I lost a lot of work.”
She swapped the big screen for reality TV appearing in travel show Taradise and Celebrity Big Brother in the UK.
In 2023 she appeared in Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test and was cruelly body-shamed over her slim figure.
She hit back in the Los Angeles Inquisitor, “So stop it. Leave me alone. Pick on me again on something else, but not on those two things. It’s not right.”
