BREAKING: The investigation into actress Tara Reid’s drugging allegation has been officially closed by the Rosemont Police, citing “no other evidence” to support her claims. This development follows Reid’s alarming assertion that a stranger drugged her at a hotel bar in the Chicago area in November 2025.

In a statement shared with PEOPLE on December 17, 2025, Reid expressed her dismay over the police’s decision, labeling the experience as “truly heartbreaking.” She stated, “All of the bullying I have been subjected to since, and everyone twisting reality without the facts they weren’t even there to witness, is truly affecting my mental health, and I need it to stop.”

The police investigation, which was initiated after Reid was hospitalized the night of the alleged incident, concluded with authorities confirming that they had spoken to all parties involved. A spokesperson emphasized, “We don’t want to say what she’s claiming is false,” yet the lack of corroborative evidence led to the case’s closure.

In response to the investigation’s dismissal, Reid detailed her experience, indicating that surveillance footage does not support the narrative that she consumed large amounts of alcohol before falling ill. She explained, “They are making it seem like I chugged all this wine at once and ended up on a stretcher, but after reviewing the footage, that is not what happened at all.” According to Reid, she had only taken a single sip of wine over a span of 30 minutes and had declined further drinks when offered by the bartender.

Reid further urged for “support and privacy,” as she navigates the online ridicule stemming from her claims. She stated, “I need to heal,” highlighting the emotional toll this situation has taken on her.

As this story develops, many are left questioning the implications of the police’s findings and the impact on Reid’s public image. The ongoing conversation around her experience raises significant concerns about accountability and the treatment of individuals making serious allegations.
