Tara Reid made a rare public appearance at the Cannes Film Festival premiere after recovering from her alleged hospital stay.
Reid, 50, attended the Histoires De La Nuit screening on Friday, May 22, dressed in a black one-shouldered gown with a white cape.
Nearly six months earlier, Reid claimed she was drugged at a hotel bar in Chicago and, as a result, required hospitalization.
“Tara Reid is trying to file a police report after an incident in which she believes her drink was tampered with. She is cooperating fully with the investigation,” a rep for the actress told Us Weekly in a November 2025 statement. “Tara is recovering and asks for privacy during this traumatic time.”
The spokesperson continued, “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.”
Police later insisted that there wasn’t any evidence, including surveillance footage, to corroborate Reid’s accusations.
“After receiving the report alleging her drink being tampered with, Rosemont detectives reviewed surveillance from the hotel which includes video at the hotel bar,” a law enforcement spokesperson told Us in December 2025. “In addition, multiple interviews have been conducted. While video surveillance showed Tara Reid at the hotel bar, at no time did [the] video show anyone tampering with or adding something to her drink. We can confirm that a bartender covered her drink when she left the bar which is standard practice for bartenders to do.”
Reid, meanwhile, felt “judged” by the authorities and their report.
Tara Reid became a household name when she landed the role of Vicky in the American Pie franchise — and she’s been navigating ups and downs in the spotlight ever since. Reid got her start in Hollywood at 6 years old, working on more than 100 commercials for a variety of brands including Jell-O, McDonald’s, […]
“I’ve been honest about the fact that I don’t remember anything after my first drink,” Reid told Us late last year. “All I said was that I felt something was wrong and that I felt I may have been drugged, because I have no other explanation for why I woke up in a hospital gown with no memory of how I got there.”
Reid further claimed that the incident had been “severely affecting” her mental health.
“I feel bullied and judged for something I cannot recall,” she alleged. “I’m trying to heal, but the public scrutiny is making that very difficult, and I’ve been afraid to even leave my house.”
Reid continued, “No one ends up in the hospital for around eleven hours from drinking wine alone. I hadn’t taken any medication that day, and I know something wasn’t right. Whether I had additional drinks after that doesn’t matter, the fact is I don’t remember anything.
