Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Thursday, December fourth, and actress
Speaker 1: Tara Reid was not drugged like she said she was,
Speaker 1: at least according to police. The story has now taken
Speaker 1: a different turn with that. Welcome to this episode of
Speaker 1: Amy and TJ Robes. She's sticking by her story, and
Speaker 1: this was a bizarre story from the beginning, and the
Speaker 1: very questions we raised and a lot of people raised
Speaker 1: are now kind of seemingly being reinforced by police.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 3: So, Tara Reid, the reason why she even spoke up,
Speaker 3: spoke out, and eventually filed a police report was because
Speaker 3: these videos started circulating of her from a hotel lobby
Speaker 3: right outside of Chicago, near O'Hara Double Tree Hotel. Correct,
Speaker 3: in the Rosemont area of Illinois. She looked wasted. This
Speaker 3: was a girl and actress who we know had substance
Speaker 3: abuse problems in the past, and now you're seeing these
Speaker 3: videos of her unable to even get into a wheelchair
Speaker 3: to be taken back to her room. Ultimately ended up
Speaker 3: being carried out in a stretcher on a stretcher.
Speaker 1: That became the story was the story. Do we ever
Speaker 1: see headlines that Terror Reid was caught on video, this
Speaker 1: or that was it? Always from the beginning, the headline
Speaker 1: was that she was drugged. Did we see the videos first?
Speaker 1: And then she came out and explained, I can't remember
Speaker 1: the timing.
Speaker 2: Well, they almost came out simultaneously.
Speaker 3: When I started looking at the stories, she had already
Speaker 3: responded saying she was drugged. Immediately she got on top
Speaker 3: of it, and she says that she was at the
Speaker 3: hotel bar. There were some influencers there, some social media
Speaker 3: influencers and in particular a YouTube influencer who she sat
Speaker 3: next to while she had one drink of white wine.
Speaker 3: She says they went out to go smoke a cigarette
Speaker 3: and when she came back there was a napkin.
Speaker 2: On top of her, which police have confirmed all of this.
Speaker 3: This has been so fascinating to see the detective work
Speaker 3: that goes on and their pretty quick ability to determine
Speaker 3: what did or did not happen. But her her point
Speaker 3: was they exchanged numbers, and then she said she got
Speaker 3: sent these videos and she felt like it was an
Speaker 3: extortion attempt. But when she saw those videos, she got
Speaker 3: ahead of it very quickly and said, hey, I must
Speaker 3: have been drugged.
Speaker 2: I have no memory of this.
Speaker 1: Okay, and folks, if you see the video, and you
Speaker 1: probably have by now, without this backstory and anything we've said,
Speaker 1: if you just saw this and didn't know who she was,
Speaker 1: you would say this person is wasted. You would say
Speaker 1: this person drank too much, way, way, way too much.
Speaker 1: Couldn't stand, was being belligerent, was yelling profanities. Literally, could
Speaker 1: not sit in a chair and be wheeled. Didn't look good. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we all know one drink of wine, almost doesn't matter
Speaker 1: who you are, is not going to put you in
Speaker 1: this condition if you're an adult, could be mixed with
Speaker 1: some other prescription drug. We've seen that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: But the reaction in her body's reaction was not from
Speaker 1: one drink. So this is why many speculated she had
Speaker 1: to come up with something. She had to tell the
Speaker 1: world something and robes she might believe she was drugged
Speaker 1: because this is up now, she is doubling and tripling
Speaker 1: and quadrupling down on what many believes a lie.
Speaker 2: That's correct.
Speaker 3: So now, even after police have officially come out and said, hey,
Speaker 3: we've reviewed the surveillance video from the hotel, it shows
Speaker 3: Tara Reid going to the bar. It shows her getting
Speaker 3: up from the bar. It shows the bartender covering her
Speaker 3: drink with a napkin, but it never shows anyone putting
Speaker 3: anything in her drink.
Speaker 1: This is easy, This was easy. We said, this was
Speaker 1: the first thing out of our mouths. This will be
Speaker 1: done in just a moment. There are several camera angles
Speaker 1: at every bar, so they're going to be able to
Speaker 1: decide this. So now robes If that's the case, nothing
Speaker 1: was put in the drink. What is her next argument
Speaker 1: for potentially when she was drugged.
Speaker 3: Well, all I can tell you is what Tara Reid
Speaker 3: said in her statement in reaction to what police have
Speaker 3: now released.
Speaker 2: She says, bottom line, no one ends up in.
Speaker 3: The hospital incapacitated for over eight hours after a drink.
Speaker 1: True statement. That is a true statement.
Speaker 3: Then she goes on to say, last thing I remember
Speaker 3: is having one drink and waking up in the hospital
Speaker 3: the next day without remembering anything. That was the scariest
Speaker 3: feeling I have ever felt.
Speaker 2: Yes, that could.
Speaker 3: Only be that all has to be true, She says,
Speaker 3: I felt so helpless. This has been a horrifying experience
Speaker 3: for me that is severely affecting my mental health. I
Speaker 3: cannot sleep over this. It's a very scary feeling, not
Speaker 3: knowing what happened to me. I believe I was drugged.
Speaker 3: Something happened to me.
Speaker 1: All that can be true. Believe every single word that
Speaker 1: came out of her mouth, absolutely every bit of it.
Speaker 1: Something happened to her. Don't know what, don't know what.
Speaker 3: Here's what we don't know. We don't know if she
Speaker 3: is on any sort of medication that shouldn't be combined
Speaker 3: with alcohol. That's possible. We don't know what she did
Speaker 3: in the hours and moments leading up to her walking
Speaker 3: into that hotel lobby and sitting down at that bar.
Speaker 3: We don't know if she drank anything earlier. Yes, if
Speaker 3: she took any other type of drug earlier, that in
Speaker 3: combination with that one glass of white wine could result
Speaker 3: or could be the result of what we saw in
Speaker 3: that video.
Speaker 1: But you have come out and accused someone of a
Speaker 1: criminal act, so that takes us to another level. She
Speaker 1: didn't just come out and explain, I don't know what
Speaker 1: happened to me. I don't know what I was on.
Speaker 1: This I was on She could have she had options.
Speaker 1: The first thing she did was point to someone and said,
Speaker 1: someone out there is a criminal who potentially wanted to
Speaker 1: rape me. She said this, that raised it to another
Speaker 1: level for police.
Speaker 3: And yes, so police now have to take her accusations
Speaker 3: seriously and take the time and resources to investigate this.
Speaker 3: And of course the hotel we talked about this last
Speaker 3: week when we first did the story, would have had
Speaker 3: every incentive to find out if anything untoward happened, and
Speaker 3: certainly want people to know that it did not happen
Speaker 3: in their hotel.
Speaker 2: And so I'm sure they were.
Speaker 3: Happy to hand over all those angles from all those
Speaker 3: surveillance videos to those police. No, not yet, but we
Speaker 3: do have the official police statement. Is this, while surveill surveillance, sorry,
Speaker 3: while video surveillance showed Tara Reid at the hotel bar
Speaker 3: at no time did video show anyone tampering with or
Speaker 3: adding something to her drink. We can confirm that a
Speaker 3: bartender covered her drink when she left the bar, which
Speaker 3: is standard practice for bartenders to do. Completely exonerates the
Speaker 3: bartender and for all intents and purposes, exonerates the hotel
Speaker 3: for being liable in any way for something happening to
Speaker 3: her drink.
Speaker 1: Again, they were waiting what was her answer to you,
Speaker 1: remember she was very vague. No, she was saying that
Speaker 1: the hospital was vague and telling her what she told
Speaker 1: her she'd been drug but didn't tell her what she'd
Speaker 1: been correct.
Speaker 3: So she actually went on TMZ and gave an interview
Speaker 3: to Harvey Levin and said that she was told by
Speaker 3: hospital officials that she was drugged and when they pressed
Speaker 3: her further and said, well, what did they tell you
Speaker 3: were drugged with, she kind of started around and said
Speaker 3: she didn't know. They even asked her did they test
Speaker 3: your blood alcohol level, which obviously would be a very
Speaker 3: interesting bit of information given all that we saw in
Speaker 3: that video. She said she didn't know, and that's when
Speaker 3: she went on and added that that.
Speaker 2: It was vague, that they were being vague with her.
Speaker 3: But clearly that doesn't make a lot of sense and
Speaker 3: doesn't really add up in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: You would you said it, and again, if you go
Speaker 1: through something that frightening. I don't know where she was,
Speaker 1: but you made the point. Obviously, if somebody tells you
Speaker 1: you're drug, you want to know what's in your system.
Speaker 2: So the first question you're going to ask.
Speaker 1: Is it going to stay there? Is it going to
Speaker 1: be long term harm? Am I done? Is it being flushed? Out, Am,
Speaker 1: I will watch enough movie. I need to do my insides.
Speaker 1: Am I how long do I have?
Speaker 2: Like you would ask you, does my stomach need to
Speaker 2: be pumped?
Speaker 1: All kinds of stuff. Don't know. They were vague. So
Speaker 1: that's information we will not be privy to because that's
Speaker 1: her medical information. Right, she has the right whether or
Speaker 1: not to tell us that. Do police have any right
Speaker 1: given that this she filled out a police report? Does
Speaker 1: she not?
Speaker 2: She filled out a police report.
Speaker 3: She actually went so far as to say initially they
Speaker 3: told her she couldn't do it over the phone, she
Speaker 3: would have to come back to Illinois. But then they,
Speaker 3: I think perhaps given the public eye or the spotlight
Speaker 3: that was on them and certainly on that hotel, they said, no, okay,
Speaker 3: you can.
Speaker 2: You can file one over the phone. Will make an
Speaker 2: exception for you.
Speaker 3: So, yes, she made a point to say she filed
Speaker 3: this police report she believed something criminally was done to
Speaker 3: her that ended up with her being in the hospital.
Speaker 2: So when we come.
Speaker 3: Back, we will tell you what police said about those
Speaker 3: medical records, because yes, there is still a very important, missing,
Speaker 3: key piece of potential evidence in what actually happened to
Speaker 3: Tara Reid and.
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone.
Speaker 3: We are talking about the new information that police have
Speaker 3: released that Tara Reid was not drugged at least at
Speaker 3: that hotel bar. They have surveillance video. They have gone
Speaker 3: through it and over, I'm sure all the different angles
Speaker 3: that that DoubleTree Hotel had pointed directly at their bar
Speaker 3: and they said, nah, she had the dream. The bartender
Speaker 3: put a napkin over the drink when she left the bar,
Speaker 3: and then she came back and no one was seen
Speaker 3: on any of those tapes doing anything to her drink.
Speaker 3: So what does she do now because she is doubling
Speaker 3: down and saying she believes she was drugged. There's no
Speaker 3: way she went ended up in the hospital, remembers nothing
Speaker 3: and woke up eight hours later unless someone did something
Speaker 3: to her drink. So we mentioned she's at the hospital.
Speaker 3: Did the hospital do tests, Well, here's what police said.
Speaker 3: They are waiting to get any medical records from Tara's
Speaker 3: hospitals stay and they will confirm if tests were done
Speaker 3: and if they were, if anything was in her system.
Speaker 3: So it sounds like they do have access to that information.
Speaker 1: It didn't seem like it was confirmed whether or not
Speaker 1: the right tests were done. That would give the answers
Speaker 1: that I guess the public wants. I guess she wants
Speaker 1: them too. But what do you do with it? I mean,
Speaker 1: you hate something happened to her. We don't know what
Speaker 1: it was, just the suggestion if and you don't want
Speaker 1: to she might not know. It's possible. I always want
Speaker 1: to leave open that possibility. I don't know what somebody
Speaker 1: else is going through. Even frankly, if this was her
Speaker 1: own doing, there's still a degree of sympathy or your
Speaker 1: heart goes out to her for whatever did actually happen
Speaker 1: to her, And if it didn't happen to her the
Speaker 1: way she said, your heart still goes out to her.
Speaker 1: So I just I don't know what to do with this,
Speaker 1: And I'm just angry and mad at how could you?
Speaker 1: And you're wasting the resources of the police department and
Speaker 1: all this stuff, and I get that, but this is
Speaker 1: just a this is one of those robes. I would
Speaker 1: hate to think somebody's just capable of coming out and
Speaker 1: starting this whole intentionally right and sending police on a
Speaker 1: while goose chase and all this. What something happened to
Speaker 1: her and maybe she doesn't know.
Speaker 3: I agree that there should be a level of sympathy
Speaker 3: for her regardless, because she is clearly struggling, whether something
Speaker 3: happened to her or she is struggling with something within her,
Speaker 3: Certainly our heart goes out to her. And that has
Speaker 3: to be incredibly difficult to have a video like that
Speaker 3: circulating about you, especially when you are someone who is
Speaker 3: known to have struggled with substance abuse issues. So that
Speaker 3: has got to be incredibly devastating. Although she did point
Speaker 3: the finger or suggest that this YouTube influencer, we won't
Speaker 3: even say his name, just because police have completely exonerated
Speaker 3: him and ruled him out and he's spoken out.
Speaker 1: Does she specifically pointing finger. I thought she said it
Speaker 1: kind of vaguely that was YouTubers down there.
Speaker 3: No, but she actually the guy who she ended up
Speaker 3: smoking that cigarette with. She claims that he then sent
Speaker 3: her the videos that his friends took of her, the
Speaker 3: ones that we've all seen circulated now, and she took
Speaker 3: that as him threatening her and saying, I can make
Speaker 3: these videos go away, basically if dot dot dot so
Speaker 3: she was she did directly point the finger at him,
Speaker 3: and yeah, and he said that absolutely did not happen.
Speaker 2: I was not trying to extort money from her and.
Speaker 1: Can be simply and quickly proven with text messages. We'll
Speaker 1: have no problem putting up screen grabs of the text messages.
Speaker 2: So that's the issue.
Speaker 3: All of these allegations she's making or implying or suggesting
Speaker 3: all can easily be proven to be true or not.
Speaker 3: And so yes, with this hospital testing, here's what she
Speaker 3: has said. This is also vague. She says she believes
Speaker 3: blood tests were done, and she said she is awaiting
Speaker 3: those results. So I feel like at this point with
Speaker 3: her saying that, I don't know if police would have
Speaker 3: to get her permission to get access.
Speaker 2: To those blood test results.
Speaker 3: But I also feel like, if you file a police
Speaker 3: report and you claim you were drugged, wouldn't that open
Speaker 3: the door then for police to have access to them,
Speaker 3: because either they have to be able to prove it
Speaker 3: or disprove it, or.
Speaker 1: Do they still have to get her okay? Could she
Speaker 1: say nope, I don't want you looking at my medical reports.
Speaker 1: Could she say that, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 3: Once you file a police report and you claim and
Speaker 3: you're cooperating with police, I mean, maybe the only thing
Speaker 3: you could do is say you can't and then police
Speaker 3: would say, she won't give us access and she isn't
Speaker 3: cooperating with us, so now we're going to file, you know,
Speaker 3: charges against her for filing a false police report, which
Speaker 3: is absolutely on the table. I would imagine, given the spotlight,
Speaker 3: the resources, they want to make sure that people are
Speaker 3: de incentivized to do something like this to when you've
Speaker 3: done something wrong, instead of taking responsibility or at least
Speaker 3: doing a little self examination before you start hurling accusations,
Speaker 3: definitely want to make a point to say this is
Speaker 3: not okay behavior.
Speaker 1: You know this again. The story though, went from it
Speaker 1: went from scary to eyebrow raising to head scratching, confusing,
Speaker 1: and now sad. It's sad, it's sad. However this ended
Speaker 1: up going down. But I give the police credit and
Speaker 1: maybe this is important, Maybe this is the silver lining
Speaker 1: robes And I was really impressed with them, their release,
Speaker 1: their statements. They didn't attack her, they didn't go after her,
Speaker 1: and they reminded us, all, hey, here's a silver lining
Speaker 1: for you, and I appreciate it that Rosemont right.
Speaker 2: Yep, rosemand Police department.
Speaker 3: Their statement was after all of this, they said, you
Speaker 3: know what, it's still a good reminder to never leave
Speaker 3: your drink unattended. So taking this as a lesson to
Speaker 3: everyone out there, Hey, Tara thought this happened to her,
Speaker 3: turns out it didn't, at least at this bar at
Speaker 3: this hotel where she says it did. But it could
Speaker 3: happen to you and be aware, and I do think
Speaker 3: it is. It is a reminder. We all can use
Speaker 3: those reminders. But bottom line, Rosemont pet said this very
Speaker 3: clearly and very specifically. Right now, we have no evidence
Speaker 3: of a crime period.
Speaker 1: All right, We'll keep our eye on them. I'm expecting
Speaker 1: rogues to hear more, maybe from Tara Reid's side. The
Speaker 1: other option there is they can just go quiet and
Speaker 1: want this to kind of go away, or does she
Speaker 1: want to get those medical reports out? See look, I
Speaker 1: told you see look Rosemand police. You know they definitely
Speaker 1: would like to get this resolved.
Speaker 3: I you know what, I'm actually just thinking if if
Speaker 3: it's true that she just drank too much in her
Speaker 3: hotel room mini bar before she came down to the bar,
Speaker 3: or she had some other type of drug you're not
Speaker 3: supposed to mix with alcohol on her system. I mean,
Speaker 3: it will all come out if she pushes this. I
Speaker 3: know I was drug theory, because then they have to
Speaker 3: look at her blood test results. The question is were
Speaker 3: they even taken?
Speaker 2: But I can't. It seems impossible to me.
Speaker 3: If you're brought to the hospital in that state, they
Speaker 3: have to make sure there's nothing life threatening going on.
Speaker 3: They would have to take blood tests, they would have
Speaker 3: to make sure they know what they're dealing.
Speaker 1: With, including a blood alcohol level, so you know how
Speaker 1: to treat that person. Correct this high? Is it this high?
Speaker 1: We just need to get fluids in this person or
Speaker 1: the something more serious need to happen. It's fascinating and
Speaker 1: it's just like again it turned into too sad and
Speaker 1: went from scary to sad. We'll keep an eye. We're
Speaker 1: expecting to hear more on this story. Maybe it's gonna
Speaker 1: be days, maybe it's gonna be weeks. But as always,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you spending some time with us, folks. From
Speaker 1: my dear Amy Robot, I'm TJ. Holmes. Talk to y'all soon.
