Speaker 1: Hey, that folks, it is Wednesday, November twenty sixth. What
Speaker 1: the actual hell is going on with Tara Reid? Welcome
Speaker 1: to this episode of Amy and TJ. There's so many
Speaker 1: ways to try to say what is going on with her?
Speaker 1: We have to start with the possibility that she is
Speaker 1: the victim of a crime, right, Shall we start with that?
Speaker 2: Yes, because authorities did confirm late yesterday that Tara Reid
Speaker 2: has filed a police report regarding an incident she says
Speaker 2: she suffered over the weekend in Chicago, and they confirmed
Speaker 2: that they are investigating.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that is one hundred percent and all of
Speaker 1: that is legit. Now we hear that, and we hear
Speaker 1: those details. That is a real story about a real
Speaker 1: potential crime. The reasons questions are being asked, Robes is
Speaker 1: because the details you just gave of our company by
Speaker 1: some pretty damning, damaging videos.
Speaker 2: Correct. So we'll start with what terror Reid says happened.
Speaker 2: She was in Chicago. She was there, I believe she was.
Speaker 2: I don't know what she was signing, but she was
Speaker 2: in some sort of signing ceremony for an appearance at
Speaker 2: the Chicago Sports Spectacular event. So she was there and
Speaker 2: she says she went down to the hotel bar around
Speaker 2: ten thirty pm on Saturday night, and she says she
Speaker 2: woke up eight hours later in the hospital. But there
Speaker 2: are a lot of eyewitness reports and there is a
Speaker 2: lot of bystander video, and soon we will most likely
Speaker 2: have or at least the hotel and police will be
Speaker 2: able to review surveillance video on top of that. But
Speaker 2: she believes that she was drugged. She believes that someone
Speaker 2: slipped some sort of foreign substance in her drink. When
Speaker 2: she took a break, she said she had only had
Speaker 2: one glass of wine. She said she met somebody at
Speaker 2: the bar. They kind of hit it off, and they
Speaker 2: decided to go smoke a cigarette. So she said she
Speaker 2: left her drink unattended at the bar, and when she
Speaker 2: came back from the smoke break, there was a napkin
Speaker 2: over it, which she did not put on it, and
Speaker 2: she says that because I guess she feels like that
Speaker 2: was suspicious. But then she took the napkin off and
Speaker 2: finished her one glass of wine. That's all she says
Speaker 2: she had that evening.
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's the story that she tells. The story
Speaker 1: that we see that doesn't match the story she tells,
Speaker 1: is the part about her just having one glass of wine.
Speaker 1: What we see of the person in the video, That
Speaker 1: person did not just have one glass of wine. They
Speaker 1: either had many mini glasses of wine or hey had
Speaker 1: ingested a drug. That person was not okay correct.
Speaker 2: So either someone slipped something to her, or she's not
Speaker 2: telling the truth about how much alcohol she consumed, or
Speaker 2: she could have been on something else. Who knows. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know certain even if it was a verifiable
Speaker 2: prescription drug, sometimes they don't mix well with even a
Speaker 2: glass of wine. Or maybe there was some marijuana, like
Speaker 2: who knows. Only Tara Reid actually knows. But she is
Speaker 2: claiming she is the victim of a crime. She actually
Speaker 2: went so far as to say, thank god it happened
Speaker 2: in a public space and I wasn't raped, because she
Speaker 2: really feels like she was she was targeted. And she
Speaker 2: mentioned that in this hotel lobby there were YouTubers that
Speaker 2: were recording things, and she said when she came up
Speaker 2: to the bar, she already had a weird energy or
Speaker 2: felt like things were off a bit, and so she
Speaker 2: didn't directly point the finger at these YouTubers, but she
Speaker 2: suggested that perhaps the she was implying that perhaps someone
Speaker 2: slipped something her drink so that they could take videos
Speaker 2: of her and upload it to YouTube.
Speaker 1: Okay, so the video we see rooms the h I
Speaker 1: think that this is the full video we both seen.
Speaker 2: We have seen it.
Speaker 1: That's out there. It starts out. It appears she's sitting
Speaker 1: in maybe a couch like a lounge Aerreya. I didn't
Speaker 1: see a bar in the video.
Speaker 2: At that point. I think she was already so in
Speaker 2: such bad shape that they were trying to First they
Speaker 2: were trying to get her just back up to her room,
Speaker 2: I believe, but then they ended up having to call paramedics.
Speaker 1: So this is where the video picks up. I'm seeing
Speaker 1: this lounge area, yes, and they're trying to get her
Speaker 1: in a wheelchair wheelchair to the point I think two
Speaker 1: security guys. They're getting frustrated, one in particular because Tara
Speaker 1: Reid and is this the guy she met? Because there
Speaker 1: was some guy trying to help her.
Speaker 2: I believe. I mean it seems as though because she
Speaker 2: said she got chummy with this guy and they exchanged
Speaker 2: numbers and so he there you do see this man
Speaker 2: who's not a security guard or not a paramedic or
Speaker 2: AMT worker trying to help her get into this chair.
Speaker 1: So there was a little back and forth between that guy,
Speaker 1: that stranger and the security guy who gets frustrated and
Speaker 1: annoyed with him and say, hey, we're gonna have a
Speaker 1: problem if you touch me again. So it was a
Speaker 1: kind of a tense and frustrating at least moment for
Speaker 1: the security guys. They I mean, she just wouldn't sit up.
Speaker 1: They couldn't get her to sit in the chair to
Speaker 1: where she almost just kept her body as a plank
Speaker 1: or she kept sliding out of it as they tried
Speaker 1: to wheel her across the lobby.
Speaker 2: And she was yelling, yelling, but she was speaking loudly
Speaker 2: and she was slurring her words, and one of the
Speaker 2: bystanders said, she was saying, you don't know who I am.
Speaker 2: I'm famous, I'm an actress. So it's hard. You know,
Speaker 2: I don't know what a drug slipped into your drink
Speaker 2: would would, what the impact or what the effect it
Speaker 2: would be on you. But it did. Like if you
Speaker 2: were just looking at this video, you would just think, Wow,
Speaker 2: girl had way too much to drink. And we've all
Speaker 2: seen people like this at the bar, like it's sadly
Speaker 2: a common scene at one o'clock in the morning at
Speaker 2: a hotel lobby on a Saturday night. That is what
Speaker 2: this was.
Speaker 1: She also said again, that's what we wrecked. Now, we
Speaker 1: want to make sure we are not suggesting this. We're
Speaker 1: taking her at every bit of her word. But if
Speaker 1: you are looking at the video and we hadn't told
Speaker 1: you the backstory, you would just say, wow, that person's
Speaker 1: wasted exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: So she claims her timeline is a little off. So
Speaker 2: she actually when she got back, first of all, she
Speaker 2: did file the police report, and we'll get into what
Speaker 2: police had to say about all of this in just
Speaker 2: a moment. But she decided to go on to TMZ
Speaker 2: and talk to Harvey Levin, and she actually gave a
Speaker 2: very specific timeline, saying she went down to the bar
Speaker 2: around ten thirty, and she says she was in the
Speaker 2: hospital by midnight. That timeline is already off because you
Speaker 2: can actually see the timing of the videos. She was
Speaker 2: being loaded into an ambulance right around on one am,
Speaker 2: So there's an hour and a half discrepancy about so
Speaker 2: one glass of wine. She needs it to be a
Speaker 2: short timeline to fit that narrative if she just had
Speaker 2: one glass of wine.
Speaker 1: Oh so wait a minute, so the timing is off.
Speaker 1: I'll help me with that math again. So she appears
Speaker 1: she's she was there longer. Yeah, she thought, that's what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where it's a little confusing, because it was
Speaker 2: ten thirty when she went down there, and she's and
Speaker 2: then she said she did take a smoke break. You
Speaker 2: know how long was the smoke break? I don't know.
Speaker 2: She went outside with this man.
Speaker 1: Where are we getting the ten thirty?
Speaker 2: That is where she she said, I went down to
Speaker 2: the bar at ten thirty pm. But we don't know
Speaker 2: what she was doing beforehand. We don't know where she
Speaker 2: was beforehand. We don't know if she was drinking anything
Speaker 2: or eating anything. We don't know anything leading up to
Speaker 2: when she came down to the bar at ten thirty.
Speaker 2: And so yes, this is it is questionable. And you
Speaker 2: could see the skepticism from Harvey Levin because he really
Speaker 2: got specific and asked her a lot of questions. And
Speaker 2: he asked her, Okay, so what did they say at
Speaker 2: the hospital. You went to the hospital, what happened? Obviously,
Speaker 2: you go in in a state like that, you would presume,
Speaker 2: I would assume that you'd have. He asked her, did
Speaker 2: they test your blood alcohol level? She said, I don't know.
Speaker 2: He said, did they test you for any unknown substance?
Speaker 2: I don't know. But then she said they told me
Speaker 2: I was drugged. Yes, and so he was. So the
Speaker 2: obvious follow up is, okay, so the hospital, doctors, nurses, whomever,
Speaker 2: someone at the hospital told you you were drugged. What
Speaker 2: drug did they say you had in your system?
Speaker 1: Did she use the word vague?
Speaker 2: She did. She said they were vague with her, and
Speaker 2: he said, well, what happened? And she's like, I didn't ask.
Speaker 2: And that is where you lose me. If you are
Speaker 2: waking up in a hospital disoriented, you don't know how
Speaker 2: you got there. The last thing you remember is having
Speaker 2: one glass of wine. You wake up and that someone
Speaker 2: tells me I've been drugged. The first question out of
Speaker 2: my mind is what did I get drugged with? What
Speaker 2: is in my system? What did you find? And we
Speaker 2: also know it takes a while sometimes for toxicology reports
Speaker 2: to come back blood alcohol. I don't know how quickly
Speaker 2: they can come up with that, but I think pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a cop can figure it out.
Speaker 2: On the street with the breathalyzer. Yes, but like if
Speaker 2: they're taking a blood alcohol test, maybe it takes a
Speaker 2: day or two. But the point being is she was
Speaker 2: in the hospital. This is going to be documented. I
Speaker 2: would imagine that they would have taken a vial of
Speaker 2: blood or something to test her, would you not.
Speaker 1: But she went to the hospital. Yeah, we saw her
Speaker 1: wheeled out. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was in a stretcher because first they tried
Speaker 2: the wheelchair. That didn't work so well, so they had
Speaker 2: to go and actually literally strap her into a stretcher
Speaker 2: because she was flailing. She was she was she didn't
Speaker 2: have a lot of strength in her to fight, but
Speaker 2: she was resisting being put into the wheelchair and resisting
Speaker 2: getting onto that stretcher and being loaded into that ambulance.
Speaker 2: So this this is a tough one because she is
Speaker 2: absolutely pointing the finger at someone else doing her wrong.
Speaker 2: And she has said that all she did was have
Speaker 2: one glass of wine.
Speaker 1: Okay, and everything she says might be true. I think
Speaker 1: if she had another, like a prescription drug in her
Speaker 1: system and this happened, I think she would let us
Speaker 1: know and explain that. Again, it's a mystery. Is this
Speaker 1: a danger? Did someone out there actually try to drug Terry.
Speaker 1: That is a big deal. It is who who is
Speaker 1: this guy? I mean, that's the only suspect that is possible.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I'm using the word suspect. I want to
Speaker 1: be clear here.
Speaker 2: But he was with her. See that's the thing. The
Speaker 2: guy who the guy who you see in the video,
Speaker 2: that guy actually went out with her to smoke. So
Speaker 2: she's saying someone who was there at the bar while
Speaker 2: she was gone and left her drink, that someone while
Speaker 2: she was out with this guy smoking must have put
Speaker 2: something in her glass. And yes, she actually specifically said
Speaker 2: because you asked about the vague, she specifically said that
Speaker 2: they were vague when she asked. So that doesn't also
Speaker 2: make a lot of sense. I don't. I can't imagine
Speaker 2: a nurse or a doctor being vague about what they
Speaker 2: found is wrong with you. That doesn't make any.
Speaker 1: Sense to me. And this was about a five minute
Speaker 1: or so interview that they posted it. It's worth a
Speaker 1: watch if you do get a chance. But robe, they
Speaker 1: can solve this crime pretty quickly, this potential crime pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: There's a camera all over the place in any hotel,
Speaker 1: lobby and bar, and you don't you think the Double
Speaker 1: Tree and their corporate office demanded to see that video
Speaker 1: immediately so they can come out and say, Hey, there
Speaker 1: was nobody running around our hotel drugging our guests.
Speaker 2: That's the last kind of pr that hotel wants to
Speaker 2: have something happened like that to someone with a name
Speaker 2: like Tara Reid, as famous as she is, to have
Speaker 2: some criminal act happened to her under their watch, at
Speaker 2: their bar, at their hotel. So yes, they will have
Speaker 2: every incentive to fully investigate this. And when we come back,
Speaker 2: we're going to tell you what police had to say.
Speaker 2: We'll tell you what now Tara Reid's own spokesperson has
Speaker 2: to say. And of course we have to point out
Speaker 2: the fact that this is a young lady who has
Speaker 2: had substance abuse issues and has struggled with sobriety in
Speaker 2: the past. Continuing our conversation about what happened, what may
Speaker 2: have happened in that hotel lobby in a Chicago airport hotel,
Speaker 2: the DoubleTree Hotel just outside of Chicago near O'Hare, where
Speaker 2: Tara Reid says she was drugged. She says someone put
Speaker 2: something in her drink that led to this video that
Speaker 2: is now everywhere. It's a tough video to watch. I
Speaker 2: can't imagine. I was thinking if I were her and
Speaker 2: the next day and you see, I mean it's it's
Speaker 2: I mean it it is. I don't even want to
Speaker 2: say humiliating, but it is like she was not in
Speaker 2: control of her body. She was not in control of
Speaker 2: her mind or her words or any that. She was
Speaker 2: completely out of it. And she says it isn't her fault.
Speaker 2: She had one glass of wine. This had nothing to
Speaker 2: do with anything she did wrong, but it should be
Speaker 2: noted in two thousand and eight, cause I had to
Speaker 2: go back and look, I couldn't remember. I remember she
Speaker 2: had some stuff, sense abuse issues, but she reportedly got sober.
Speaker 2: She spent a ninety day she had a ninety day
Speaker 2: rehab stant in Malibu, And there's a quote from her
Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine saying, rehab saved my life.
Speaker 2: Before I used to think about tomorrow and I hated it.
Speaker 2: Now I can't wait because I am clean and sober,
Speaker 2: and I am excited. And look, I don't know what
Speaker 2: anyone's individual path to or through sobriety means. Does that
Speaker 2: mean that you can have a glass of wine every
Speaker 2: now and then. I don't know. Everyone has different ways
Speaker 2: of addressing what sobriety means. Harvey Levin even asked her like,
Speaker 2: have you been California sober? Meaning do you take marijuana products?
Speaker 2: Maybe and not drink so much. He was just trying
Speaker 2: to feel her out, because it did seem as though,
Speaker 2: even in the interview that maybe she was. She didn't
Speaker 2: come off as somebody who was fully in control of
Speaker 2: her faculties. And maybe she's dealing with the aftermath of
Speaker 2: everything she's been through and she's been traumatized, as her
Speaker 2: spokesperson said, so, but if you watch the interview, this
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like a young woman who is sharp and rested,
Speaker 2: and it's questionable, I guess, just in terms of her
Speaker 2: demeanor and her speech seemed a little off.
Speaker 1: Do you remember, I can't remember how long after the
Speaker 1: incident was the interview.
Speaker 2: So this happened Saturday night, she was in the hospital.
Speaker 2: On Sunday, she actually went on and did this signing,
Speaker 2: the signing ceremony or whatever she was doing. Her agent
Speaker 2: came and got her from the hospital, and she says
Speaker 2: they went to the event that she had agreed to
Speaker 2: do that she was employed to do and then went
Speaker 2: home on Sunday. She talked to Harvey the next day.
Speaker 2: So you know, it was within less than forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: O who no, I thought she was feeling So it could.
Speaker 2: Like, yes, it absolutely, but this is not when you
Speaker 2: see the interview, it's a little concerning.
Speaker 1: The part the thing about the Mexican woman in the hospital.
Speaker 2: We did mention it go well. She said, as she
Speaker 2: was describing basically how disoriented she was in the hospital,
Speaker 2: she said she didn't know where she was, and she
Speaker 2: said there was a woman, oh ye who was over
Speaker 2: her or looking over her in the room, and she
Speaker 2: was Mexican and she wasn't speaking English. And she said,
Speaker 2: at one point I thought I was in Mexico. She
Speaker 2: was saying that, I think to say, see, I was
Speaker 2: completely in an altered state, but it ended up coming
Speaker 2: off a little differently. So she was trying to explain
Speaker 2: how out of it she was. So here is what
Speaker 2: police have had to say, and this is I guess
Speaker 2: the area. I'm not as familiar with Chicago suburbs, but
Speaker 2: the Rosemont area. So the Rosemont Public Safety Department understands
Speaker 2: the severity of the allegations being reported and are committed
Speaker 2: to investigating this incident fully. At this point, we are
Speaker 2: in communication with the hotel to gather as much video
Speaker 2: surveillance as possible. As this incident has just been reported
Speaker 2: and is still open, no further information is available at
Speaker 2: this time. And you said this right away. They have
Speaker 2: so many cameras. If anyone put anything in her drink,
Speaker 2: it will be you will see it.
Speaker 1: There is a camera on that drink from the time
Speaker 1: she receives it until she gets in a ambulance. Absolutely so,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess she don't suggest maybe the bartender
Speaker 1: put something in her drink. I've been sure they got
Speaker 1: an eye on the bartender as well. They should be
Speaker 1: able to wrap this up pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: That in addition to whatever the hospital tests would show.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm again, I mean, I don't know again
Speaker 2: as a standard operating procedure, but I would think it
Speaker 2: would be someone comes in in that state, you have
Speaker 2: to make sure they're okay, you have to make sure
Speaker 2: they don't have a life threatening substance in them. You
Speaker 2: have to do some sort of test to say, what
Speaker 2: is this poor girl dealing with?
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I don't know, but she told us that
Speaker 1: they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they were vague about what it was that
Speaker 2: they told her she was drug So look, now you've
Speaker 2: got hospital tests that we will or at least police
Speaker 2: will be received. I don't think we will. There's some
Speaker 2: privacy issues there, but police will know.
Speaker 1: Can they get that? Well, this is a crime, and.
Speaker 2: She reported it and she's asked for it to be investigated.
Speaker 2: So that is happening. And her spokesperson said this, and
Speaker 2: this I believe was after she was on TMZ. She
Speaker 2: as in Tara is cooperating fully with the investigation. Tara
Speaker 2: is recovering and asks for privacy during this traumatic time.
Speaker 2: She also urges everyone to be careful, watch your drinks
Speaker 2: and never leave them unattended unattended, as this can happen
Speaker 2: to anyone.
Speaker 1: She's standing by that story, I mean, but right now
Speaker 1: she's putting it out there as a belief MM because
Speaker 1: she has no evidence of what she's saying, and she
Speaker 1: doesn't have to prove anything to us. If that's what
Speaker 1: she believes, that's fine. But when you follow a police report,
Speaker 1: now you have to produce.
Speaker 2: Evidence, and it's a crime to file a false police report.
Speaker 1: So now she has to This is a just thing.
Speaker 1: We could just let it go if she was just
Speaker 1: doing this and didn't get police involved. Now it's a Syria,
Speaker 1: it's a criminal matter.
Speaker 2: Correct, And you know, when she was talking to TMZ,
Speaker 2: they asked her if she had filed a police report,
Speaker 2: and at that point she was like, well, I think
Speaker 2: I'm going to, and then she did. So it is
Speaker 2: official and the investigation is ongoing, and we will be
Speaker 2: sure to follow this story and let you know what develops.
Speaker 2: But we're glad she's okay. We hope she's doing better.
Speaker 2: We hope that she, if anything, doesn't leave for drink unattended.
Speaker 2: That's something that I told my daughters from the moment
Speaker 2: they started going out when I wasn't with them. Always
Speaker 2: always keep your drink with you.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't. This is crazy. My mother taught me
Speaker 1: this about my milk carton in elementary school. If you
Speaker 1: ever walk away from it or turn your back on
Speaker 1: it and do not drink it, she.
Speaker 2: Told me, that's amazing. Again, we're not just talking about
Speaker 2: alcoholic beverages. You're talking so to coffee whatever.
Speaker 1: But for women going out like that, that.
Speaker 2: Is a like I have chills just thinking about it.
Speaker 2: That is a like that is it? You never you
Speaker 2: always have a wing woman, you never go home alone,
Speaker 2: you never walk alone, and you always keep your drink
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 1: So, if nothing else, maybe this is a moment of
Speaker 1: a reminder around the holidays. If nothing else, this is
Speaker 1: making that point. But yes, and the napkin was a peculiar,
Speaker 1: peculiar detail to me, that's something that a bartender would
Speaker 1: do if you noticed somebody's drinks and think you're going to.
Speaker 2: Come back, yeah, in a way. If that is the case,
Speaker 2: that would seem as though he was protecting her drink, yeah,
Speaker 2: from any possible substance. So we shall see. But in
Speaker 2: the meantime, everyone, thank you for listening to us. We
Speaker 2: always appreciate you. I'm Amy Roebuck alongside TJ. Holmes. We'll
Speaker 2: talk to you soon. Two two
