Another clip showed paramedics moving Reid out of the hotel on a stretcher while bystanders offered words of support. A source told Fox News Digital that Reid had gone to the hotel bar to have a drink and a cigarette.
After stepping outside to smoke, she returned to find her glass of wine with a napkin placed over it. According to the source, Reid did not remember putting a napkin on the glass and thought it was unusual.
The source said Reid took two sips of wine and later woke up in a hospital. Her agent retrieved her from the hospital, and the two flew back to Los Angeles.
The source said, “She is very worried about people leaving their drinks unsupervised, and she is traumatized by the incident.”
A representative for Reid told Fox News Digital that she is preparing to file a police report.
The representative said, “Tara Reid is in the process of filing a police report after an incident in which she believes her drink was tampered with. Tara is recovering and asks for privacy during this traumatic time. She also urges everyone to be careful, watch your drinks, and never leave them unattended, as this can happen to anyone. She will not be making further comments at this stage.”
However, police told People on Monday that Reid had not yet filed the report.

Reid has previously spoken publicly about difficulties in her career. In 2023, she told Fox News Digital she has “been bullied a lot” and said her appearance on “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” was aimed at showing another side of herself.
She said, “And stop bullying me for kind of always the same things. And to let them see, you know, I’m not just this girl who’s 21 and partying in ‘American Pie.’”
Reid added, “I’m 47 years old now. I’m a woman and I want them to see that I am strong, and I do have a heart and I do care. And I hope that comes across.”
Reid also said the negative attention led her to temporarily step back from the industry, explaining, “I needed a break. You know, I think everyone needs a break from something when it becomes too much.”
No additional details have been released regarding the investigation.
