American Pie & Scrubs star Tara Reid calls cops fearing her drink was spiked in hotel bar sparking horror hospital dash
AMERICAN Pie star Tara Reid told police she was drugged at a Chicago hotel bar – ending in a hospital dash with the star in a concerning state.
Distressing footage shows the actress, 50, looking unwell as she sits in a wheelchair, before being stretchered out by paramedics on Saturday night.
The Rosemont Public Safety Department confirmed on Tuesday that the actress had filed a report.
Reid has vowed she is willing to prosecute anyone involved.
The 90s film pin-up said the night was a “big blur”, but insisted she had only had one drink before being taken ill.
Speaking to TMZ Live on Tuesday, she recounted leaving her drink in the hotel bar to go for a smoke, and returning to find a napkin covering it that hadn’t been there when she 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 episode 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 in 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 Josie and the Pussycats, 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.”
