Tara Reid Files Report on Alleged Drink Tampering

Published 1 December 2025

Actress Tara Reid filed a police report on Tuesday alleging that her drink was tampered with at a hotel bar near Chicago last weekend, leading to her hospitalization after she lost consciousness. The incident occurred at the DoubleTree Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, where the 50-year-old star was staying for a celebrity signing event on November 23.

Reid detailed the events in the report submitted to the Rosemont Public Safety Department, stating she arrived at the hotel bar around 10 p.m. on November 22. She ordered a glass of white wine and was approached by a man who introduced himself as Sean P., a YouTube influencer. The two chatted briefly, exchanged phone numbers, and stepped outside for a cigarette. Upon returning, Reid noticed a napkin covering her drink, which she said she had not placed there. After taking a sip, she recalled seeing a couple nearby before blacking out completely. The next memory, she wrote, was waking up in a hospital more than eight hours later, disoriented and unaware of how she had gotten there.

Paramedics responded to the hotel around 12:39 a.m. on November 23 after a call about a sick person. Video footage from the scene shows Reid slurring her...
