Actress Tara Reid claimed she was drugged at a Chicago hotel bar on Sunday, November 23.
The American Pie star, 50, said she was left unconscious after someone allegedly put something into her drink that evening, according to TMZ.
Tara Reid has struggled with substance abuse issues in previous years.
In a video obtained by the outlet, Reid was seen being led away on a stretcher after first being placed in a wheelchair.
Paramedics had taken her to a hospital following the incident. However, before she was taken to the medical center, she was heard screeching: "YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM! I AM FAMOUS! I'M AN ACTRESS!"
Tara Reid said the last thing she remembers was being at the hospital.
The Josie and the Pussycats star explained the situation to TMZ, noting she checked into her room at the hotel on Saturday night and later went to the downstairs bar for a drink. She then headed outside to smoke a cigarette.
Reid — who has struggled with substance issues in the past — added she saw several YouTube vloggers in the lobby, with one joining her outside to light up a ciggie.
