The actor was rushed to hospital after she claimed her drink was ‘tampered’ with in a hotel lobby, appearing confused while being stretchered out to an ambulance
American Pie actor Tara Reid was rushed to hospital after alleging her drink was spiked at a hotel. Emergency services transported Tara, who played Kevin Myers’ girlfriend Vicky Lathum in the comedy franchise, on a stretcher from the foyer into an ambulance on Sunday, according to reports.
The severity and details of Tara’s medical condition have not been disclosed.
A spokesperson for the actor 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.”
However, it’s understood that Tara, 50, has yet to submit an official police complaint. Onlookers in Chicago, Illinois, reported that the actress, who rose to fame following the success of the original American Pie in 1999, appeared noticeably confused whilst being transferred to the ambulance.
It’s claimed one paramedic reassured Tara: “We’re going to take you to your room, okay?” During this interaction, Tara allegedly responded: “You don’t know who I am. I am famous. I’m an actress”, reports the Mirror.
It’s reported that Tara lost consciousness during the incident, with little recollection of the events that unfolded. Speaking to the press on Monday, she revealed: “I’m just glad that I was in a public place, you know what I mean? Like, and there was security there to help me, cause I mean, if this happened at… not a public place, I mean you could get raped.”
The actress shot to stardom through her performance in the American Pie franchise, with the debut film launching when she was merely 23 years old. Reflecting on that period during a recent interview, the Urban Legend star disclosed she’s been targeted by online trolls following the comedies’ success.
Tara explained: “Everyone says, ‘She got so old looking, she looks bad, she looks like sh*t.’ And just this sh*t that goes on social media.”
This revelation emerged during a podcast appearance, after Tara sparked health concerns when she shared a photograph of herself at the Vegan Fashion Show. Captioning the image, she wrote: “Has the most amazing time @veganfashionweek thanks so much for having me again in your front row, so happy to see my friend @derekwarburton.”
However, her puffy appearance led followers to express concern about her wellbeing. One person said: “She looks sick.”
A second person remarked: “She doesn’t even resemble the girl we used to know.”
