Police in Rosemont, Illinois, have said there is “no evidence” that American Pie actress Tara Reid was drugged at a hotel bar last month, following a review of surveillance footage.
The 50-year-old was seen being removed from the lobby of the DoubleTree hotel at Chicago O’Hare Airport on 23 November in video obtained by TMZ, in which she appeared to slur her words before being wheeled out. Reid later claimed she had been spiked.
“While video surveillance showed Tara Reid at the hotel bar, at no time did video show anyone tampering with or adding something to her drink,” Rosemont Police said in a statement to People magazine. They added that a bartender had covered her drink when she left the bar, which is standard practice.
Authorities are working to obtain chemical test results from the hospital that treated Reid. “At this time there is no criminal act that has been committed and there is no one we are currently investigating,” the statement continued.
In a police report, Reid said she remembered speaking to a man who introduced himself as a YouTuber, and that they swapped phone numbers before she stepped outside for a cigarette. She claimed a napkin had been placed over her drink upon her return. She later told People: “Bottom line is no one ends up in the hospital incapacitated for over 8 hours after a drink... I believe I was drugged.”
