Actress Tara Reid has alleged she had her drink spiked at a Chicago area bar, which left her hospitalized. Reid, 50, told TMZ that after she checked into her room at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Chicago O’Hare Airport - Rosemont on Sunday night, she went downstairs for a drink. The American Pie star left her drink unattended when she went outside to smoke a cigarette with a YouTuber she met in the hotel’s lobby. Reid said that when she returned, her drink had been covered with a napkin. The Big Lebowski actress claimed she removed the napkin and drank from the glass. Reid said that was all she recalled from that night before she woke up in the hospital. She insisted that she only had one drink. A person filmed the actress’s interaction with paramedics. The video showed Reid screaming, “You don’t know who I am. I am famous. I’m an actress.” Reid has yet to file a police report. The actress has acknowledged her past struggles with substance abuse. She has been caught breaking her sobriety after she attended a 60-day rehab program in 2008. After being released, she said rehab was life-changing and that she had put her “party girl” days behind her.
