Tara Reid's Scary Weekend: Drugged and Hospitalized

Tara Reid, the beloved star of "American Pie," found herself in a frightening situation over the weekend. The 50-year-old actress was hospitalized on Sunday, November 23, after an alarming incident at a hotel in Rosemont, Illinois. Reid, who was staying at the hotel, allegedly fell unconscious following a night out at the hotel's bar.

In a report shared with TMZ, Reid recounted how she ordered a drink at the hotel bar and then stepped outside for a cigarette. Upon returning, she noticed a napkin placed over her drink – something she hadn't done herself. Without thinking much of it, Reid removed the napkin and continued to enjoy her beverage. Unfortunately, she remembers little of what happened afterward, only waking up in a hospital bed.

“Tara is recovering and asks for privacy during this traumatic time,” her representative, Jane Owen, shared. “She also urges everyone to be careful, watch your drinks and never leave them unattended, as this can happen to anyone.”

A Call for Caution

Footage obtained by TMZ shows Reid looking incoherent and being assisted into a wheelchair by hotel security. Paramedics were called, and she was taken to the hospital on a stretcher. Following the incident, Reid filed a police report, believing her drink was tampered with. Her representative confirmed that she is fully cooperating with the ongoing investigation.

Reid's unsettling experience is a stark reminder of the dangers that can lurk in seemingly safe environments. It's a cautionary tale urging everyone to stay vigilant about their surroundings.

A New Chapter in Sobriety

While Reid is best known for her roles in "American Pie," "The Big Lebowski," and "Sharknado," she has also been open about her struggles with substance abuse. In December 2008, she took a significant step towards recovery by checking into Malibu's Promises rehabilitation center. Reflecting on her journey in a 2009 interview, Reid described her commitment to sobriety as "the greatest decision I ever made."

Her past experiences have shaped her into the person she is today, and this recent incident serves as another chapter in her ongoing story of resilience and recovery.
