The actress told TMZ that she checked into her room late Saturday (November 23, 2025) and went downstairs for a cigarette and a drink.

Tara, who reportedly has had problems in the past with substance abuse, insisted that on Sunday night she only had that one drink.

Reid has not filed a police complaint as of the time of filing of this report.
