The actress told TMZ that she checked into her room late Saturday (November 23, 2025) and went downstairs for a cigarette and a drink. She also stated that she went to the bar, ordered a drink, and then made her way outside to smoke a cigarette. She further told the outlet that she ran into a bunch of YouTubers in the lobby, and one of them went outside with her to smoke.

The ‘Sharknado’ actress also revealed that after she returned to the bar, she found her drink was covered with a napkin. Reid asserted that she didn't place the napkin there. The actress recalled that she removed the napkin and drank from the glass, and the next thing she remembers, she was in the hospital.

Tara, who reportedly has had problems in the past with substance abuse, insisted that on Sunday night she only had that one drink. The onlooker who recorded the video told TMZ that at one point, before paramedics arrived, Tara was screaming, "You don't know who I am. I am famous. I'm an actress." Reid has not filed a police complaint as of the time of filing of this report.

On the work front, Reid has several films in the works, including The Dreamer Cinderella, and last appeared onscreen in the 2023 vampire flick, Bloodthirst.
