Tara Reid is doubling down on claims her drink was spiked in Chicago after police said surveillance footage showed no one tampering with it, Daily Mail reports.
Tara Reid, 50, was seen in disturbing footage slumped over in a wheelchair at the bar of the DoubleTree hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
The American Pie star was rushed to the hospital and filed a police report alleging her wine had been drugged after she left it unattended.
Rosemont Police, however, said in a statement Wednesday to Daily Mail: ‘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.’
The actress immediately hit back, telling Daily Mail: ‘Bottom line is no one ends up in the hospital incapacitated for over 8 hours after a drink.’
Tara Reid continued: ‘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.’
‘This has been a horrifying experience for me that is severely affecting my mental health,’ she insisted.
‘I cannot sleep over this. It’s a very scary feeling not knowing what happened to me. I believe I was drugged. Something happened to me.’
Rosemont Police said in their statement that there is no evidence so far that a criminal act had been committed nor are they currently investigating anyone.
The surveillance footage they have viewed included ‘video at the hotel bar’ and officers had conducted ‘multiple interviews.’
According to law enforcement, ‘a bartender covered her drink when she left the bar which is standard practice for bartenders to do.’
Police are currently waiting for ‘hospital records’ to determine ‘what specific chemical testing’ Tara Reid underwent, if any.
‘We are working with Tara Reid to receive those records which she has also not received,’ law enforcement said.
YouTuber Sean P claimed last week that the actress, who is also known for her role in the Sharknado series of films, had accused him of being the one who tampered with her drink – a story he adamantly denied.
Sean P said he met Reid at the bar of the DoubleTree hotel in Rosemont late on the night of the incident.
He claimed they started chatting, exchanged contact information and went outside to smoke a cigarette at Reid’s suggestion.
The social media star claimed Reid seemed ‘tipsy’ and acknowledged that he was as well.
He alleged that when they returned to the bar and he attempted to pay his tab, Reid handed her purse to him and asked him to grab her room key.
He claimed he saw pills inside the purse. In that moment, Sean claimed Reid screamed for security.
Security stepped in and asked if there was an issue, prompting them to both say, ‘No.’
Sean then says he asked that they go outside for another cigarette and as they headed towards the smoking area, Reid completely changed and abruptly ended up on the floor.
Reid claimed in her police report that Sean P sent her videos of her the following day, a move she interpreted as an extortion attempt.
Sean alleges he was only trying to make her aware that his friend had a video of her being pushed out of the hotel in a stretcher.
After he sent her the video, Sean claims Reid accused him of slipping a roofie into her beverage – an accusation he denies.
Reid’s representative told TMZ that the actress never claimed Sean P was the one who allegedly spiked her drink and called his retelling ‘inaccurate.’
In her incident report obtained by The Daily Mail, Reid says: ‘A man came up to me and introduced himself as Sean P a very successful influencer and YouTuber who was with all the other YouTubers in the lobby and sat next to me at the bar. Then I said I wanted to go out for a cigarette and he said he would come with me. We went out for a smoke exchanged numbers and came back and there was a napkin over my drink.
‘Then the last thing I remember was drinking that drink and seeing a couple sitting next to us. The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital around 8 hours or more later not knowing where I was or anything that happened. I completely blacked out with no recollection of anything. I don’t remember leaving the hotel I don’t remember being in the ambulance or anything.
‘My agent Chris somehow found out what hospital I was at and picked me up from the hospital and they just said I was free to go and didn’t give any release forms or discharge papers or anything. He said to them are you sure she’s okay and free to go and they said yes.
‘He took me back to the hotel to get my bag and check out then we went to the venue where I had to wait for my ride to the airport. I have been trying to file a police report since I got back to LA and they said I could not file one over the phone and had to be there in person and I finally got a call back from Lieutenant Joe and he showed me how to file the report here.
‘The guy Sean P I had the cigarette with texted me the videos of me the next day I thought he was trying to extort saying he could stop the videos going out and he also told me I called security on him and he also confirmed that I only had one drink. I am willing to prosecute.’
