A police investigation is officially underway following reports of a drugging incident involving actor Tara Reid<\/a> at a Chicago-area hotel over the weekend. <\/p>\n

The Rosemont Public Safety Department released a statement confirming that Reid had filed a police report<\/a> on Tuesday regarding a medical emergency that had taken place at the DoubleTree Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, at approximately 12:39 a.m. Sunday. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Rosemont Public Safety Department understands the severity of the allegations being reported and are committed to investigating this incident fully,\u201d the statement read, according to the Chicago Sun-Times <\/a>and other outlets. \u201cAt this point, we are in communication with the hotel to gather as much video surveillance as possible. As this incident has just been reported and is still open, no further information is available at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

A representative for Reid, best known for her portrayal of Vicky Lathum in \u201cAmerican Pie,\u201d didn\u2019t immediately respond to HuffPost\u2019s request for comment. However, the rep issued a statement Tuesday to E! News<\/a> noting that Reid was \u201crecovering\u201d and had requested \u201cprivacy during this traumatic time.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cShe also urges everyone to be careful, watch your drinks and never leave them unattended, as this can happen to anyone,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cShe will not be making further comments at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid, whose credits also include \u201cDays of Our Lives\u201d and \u201cSharknado,\u201d was visiting the Chicago area ahead of her scheduled Sunday appearance<\/a> at the Chicago Sports Spectacular alongside one of her \u201cAmerican Pie\u201d co-stars, Thomas Ian Nicholas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, news of the alleged incident broke when TMZ posted a short video<\/a> of Reid looking disoriented in the DoubleTree Hotel\u2019s lobby as an unidentified man attempts to help her into a wheelchair. Later in the clip, she can be seen being removed from the hotel on a stretcher by paramedics. <\/p>\n

In a separate interview with TMZ<\/a> Tuesday, Reid said she\u2019d ordered a glass of white wine from the hotel bar but briefly stepped outside to smoke a cigarette. When she returned to the bar, she noticed that a napkin had been placed over the top of the glass. <\/p>\n

\u201cWithout even finishing my drink, I just, like, passed out, and before I knew it, I was in the hospital, eight hours later,\u201d she recalled. \u201cI can\u2019t even explain it, because I don\u2019t even know what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid said she regained consciousness in the hospital, where doctors informed her she\u2019d been drugged, but did not divulge further specifics. She also noted that she was able to attend Chicago Sports Spectacular as scheduled after being released from the hospital. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole thing is really scary. I\u2019m just glad that I was in a public place … and that there was security there to help me,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A police investigation is officially underway following reports of a drugging incident involving actor Tara Reid at a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":309901,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75,138486],"class_list":{"0":"post-309900","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-tara-reid"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
