    Tara Reid still believes she was drugged despite police saying there is no video evidence

    The American Pie star stands by her claim after blacking out and being hospitalised in November, despite police finding no sign of drink tampering.


    The 50-year-old actress had alleged last month she was drugged by a stranger after having just one drink at a hotel in Rosemont, near Chicago, on November 23 before being taken out on a stretcher and hospitalised. The Rosemont Public Safety Department has told PEOPLE magazine this week that surveillance footage didn't "show anyone tampering with or adding something to [Reid's] drink". They did confirm "that a bartender covered her drink when she left the bar which is standard practice for bartenders to do", while the investigation is still ongoing with everyone waiting for results from her hospital tests. The authorities added: "At this time there is no criminal act that has been committed and there is no one we are currently investigating". However, the American Pie star previously said in a police report that she "completely blacked out" after one drink with a YouTuber, which she left unattended when they went outside for a cigarette. And now she has told PEOPLE: "Bottom line is no one ends up in the hospital incapacitated for over 8 hours after a drink." Reid alleged that the "last thing" she remembered that night was "having one drink and waking up in the hospital the next day without remembering anything". She said she "felt so helpless", and it was "the scariest feeling I have ever felt", while the "horrifying experience" has "severely" impacted her mental health. She added: "I cannot sleep over this it's a very scary feeling not knowing what happened to me... "I believe I was drugged. Something happened to me." In footage obtained by TMZ from the night of November 23, Reid was speaking incoherently and seemed to slip off a wheelchair in the lobby, and was helped back into the chair, before paramedics led her away on a stretcher. In a police report filed at the time, Reid said she was in the lobby with "a bunch of" YouTubers, and "the whole thing felt suspicious" as most of them had "their phones out". In the report, she alleged that after stepping outside with one of the men, she returned to find "a napkin over my drink". She told officers: "Then the last thing I remember was drinking that drink and seeing a couple sitting next to us. "The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital around eight hours or more later not knowing where I was or anything that happened. "I completely blacked out with no recollection of anything."
