Tara Reid case takes shocking turn as cops make discovery after claims she was drugged at Chicago hotel bar
Tara Reid has made a strong statement in defense of her claim that her drink was spiked at a Chicago hotel, despite recent findings from local police.
The 50-year-old actress, known for her roles in American Pie and the Sharknado franchise, had been seen in distressing footage from the DoubleTree hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, following an incident the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The footage showed Reid slumped in a wheelchair, leading to her hospitalization. Reid filed a police report alleging that someone drugged her wine after she left it unattended at the bar.
The Rosemont Police Department reviewed surveillance footage, which they stated did not show any tampering with Reid’s drink. In their official statement to the Daily Mail, the police clarified that the video from the hotel bar “showed Tara Reid at the hotel bar, at no time did video show anyone tampering with or adding something to her drink.”
However, Reid is adamant that she was drugged, maintaining that her hospital visit was a direct result of being poisoned. “Bottom line is no one ends up in the hospital incapacitated for over 8 hours after a drink,” she told Daily Mail.
Police investigation reveals no tampering with drink
While the police continue their investigation, they have yet to identify any criminal activity related to the incident. Surveillance footage from the hotel did reveal that a bartender covered Reid’s drink when she left the bar, a practice the police confirmed is standard in the hospitality industry.
Police are also awaiting Reid’s hospital records to confirm whether any specific chemical testing was conducted on her following the event.
Despite the lack of evidence, Reid is unwavering in her belief that something untoward occurred. She stated, “Last thing I remember is having one drink and waking up in the hospital the next day without remembering anything. That was the scariest feeling I have ever felt. I felt so helpless.”
She further explained that the experience had taken a toll on her mental health, stating, “This has been a horrifying experience for me that is severely affecting my mental health. I cannot sleep over this. It’s a very scary feeling not knowing what happened to me.”
Alleged confrontation with YouTuber Sean P
The case has become more complicated with accusations directed toward Sean P, a YouTuber, who Reid alleges may have been involved in the incident. She claims that after the two shared a cigarette outside the hotel, he allegedly sent her videos of her being taken out of the hotel in a stretcher the next day.
Reid interpreted this as an extortion attempt. Sean P, however, denies any involvement in spiking Reid’s drink. According to him, the two exchanged contact details and left the hotel bar together for a cigarette. He claims that when they returned, Reid seemed “tipsy” but nothing out of the ordinary occurred.
The actress’s representative has also weighed in, denying that she accused Sean P of drugging her drink. In an incident report obtained by The Daily Mail, Reid recounts the events leading up to her blackout, including the moment she noticed a napkin covering her drink. She remains firm in her assertion that her memory of the night was erased and believes she was drugged.
As the investigation progresses, it remains to be seen whether police will uncover new evidence or if Reid’s claims will be substantiated.
