Tara Reid remains convinced she was drugged at a Chicago hotel bar late last month, but local authorities say surveillance footage shows no such malfeasance.
Video from the bar at the DoubleTree Chicago O’Hare Airport on Nov. 23 does not show anyone adding anything to 50-year-old Reid’s drink, Rosemont authorities told Chicago outlet WFLD. Footage though does show a bartender covering the glass when the “American Pie” and “Van Wilder” actress left the bar.
“While we do not have any evidence that a drink was tampered with, it is a good reminder to never leave a drink unattended. If you ever believe you have been drugged or feel unsafe, please reach out to local authorities,” read a police statement, according to the outlet.
The Rosemont Public Safety Department did not immediately respond to the Daily News’ request for comment.
Video shows Reid being transported from the hotel in a wheelchair, slipping out of the chair at one point, and then into an ambulance.
“Bottom line is no one ends up in the hospital incapacitated for over 8 hours after a drink,” Reid told TMZ Wednesday. “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. … I believe I was drugged. Something happened to me.”
Also on Wednesday, YouTuber Sean P told the outlet that there was nothing illicit in the cigarette he and Reid shared on the night in question and he is not being viewed as a suspect.
WFLD reports that Rosemont police are waiting for hospital records, from which there may be chemical testing results.
