Rosemont Public Safety officials told PEOPLE they received a call at 12:39 a.m. on November 23rd about someone who was ill, and that Reid was subsequently transported to a hospital.

Video footage shows the actress seeming disoriented and having trouble speaking, with staff members helping her. According to reports, she stated, “You don’t know who I am. I am famous. I’m an actress,” before being put on a stretcher and taken outside.

Tara Reid has reported to the police that she believes someone may have put something in her drink. She’s working with investigators and is focusing on recovering from what happened.

She doesn’t plan to discuss the situation further at this time.

The actress said she briefly left her drink unattended at a hotel bar to go outside and smoke. When she came back, a napkin was covering it, and she later lost consciousness for several hours. Police in Rosemont responded to a call about someone feeling ill, but haven’t confirmed if the drink was tampered with.
