Tara Reid is revealing the “scary” details surrounding her being allegedly drugged at a Chicago hotel bar over the weekend.
“It’s just really scary. It’s for all — not just girls, but for guys, for anyone. You have to really be careful with your drink,” she warned in an interview with TMZ Monday.
“It made me pass out for eight hours.”
The “American Pie” actress, 50, then alleged that she was transported from DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Chicago O’Hare Airport – Rosemont to a local hospital, where she “woke up eight hours later.”
Reid also told the outlet that doctors did not perform a blood alcohol test, adding, “They just said that you were drugged. That’s what they said. They said, ‘You got drugged last night at the bar.’”
Additionally, she noted that she doesn’t know what she was allegedly drugged with because, although she was “tested to see what drug it was,” she “didn’t ask.”
“It was all kind of vague. Like, it was all blurry. … I can’t even explain it because I don’t even know what happened,” Reid added.
She then reiterated that she has no idea what doctors “did” in the hospital “because [she] was unconscious.”
In fact, she detailed thinking “[she] was in Mexico” because a “Mexican” lady was sitting next to her at the hospital and “wasn’t speaking English.”
“I was so confused of what was happening,” she further stated, before sharing that her agent picked her up and took her to a signing event.
“We did it, and left. And I came back home. It was just a big blur,” the “Sharknado” actress added. “The whole thing is really scary. I’m just glad that I was in a public place. … And that there was security there to help me.”
She theorized that she could have gotten “raped” if she were at a “not public area,” noting, “I mean, a lot of things can be done really, really, really wrong.”
Reid then issued a stark warning to men and women.
“Everyone should really be aware about, you know, watching their drinks a lot because I don’t know what that stuff was, but whatever it is, it knocked me out like immediately,” she said.
Page Six has reached out to the “National Lampoon” star’s rep for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
Rosemont Public Safety Department Lieutenant Joseph Balogh told Page Six that no police report had been filed as of this publication — despite what Reid’s rep said.
However, he confirmed that his department received an EMS call for an ambulance, and the “patient was transported.” He said that there was “no other mention in any reports of it being drugs or suspicious activity.”
Balogh told us that his department is currently not investigating Reid’s claims; however, they will when a proper report is filed and the “victim comes forward.”
“We’re waiting for that on our end,” he told us.
Page Six also reached out to the Doubletree for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
On Monday, a video surfaced of an incoherent Reid being helped by hotel staff before being transported to a local hospital.
Following the incident, the actress claimed her drink had been spiked after she went outside to smoke a cigarette.
