According to a statement released to Rolling Stone through a representative, Reid is “recovering and asks for privacy during this traumatic time.” The rep also urged the public to “be careful,watch your drinks and never leave them unattended,as this can happen to anyone.”
TMZ obtained footage showing Reid slurring her words and struggling to remain seated in a wheelchair before being transported from a DoubleTree hotel on a stretcher. Upon regaining consciousness at the hospital, Reid stated doctors informed her she had been drugged but did not specify the substance.
despite the medical emergency, reid fulfilled a scheduled appearance at the Chicago Sports Stunning show on Sunday afternoon, posing for photos with fans.Event organizer rhonda Adelstein confirmed to Rolling Stone that Reid’s team informed them of her hospitalization and potential delay, but she ultimately attended the event. “even though she was late,she did come,” Adelstein said. “I did not hear one bad thing at all. She obviously was very polite and happy to everybody.”
Reid told TMZ she noticed a group of YouTubers at the hotel bar and is considering filing a police report to investigate the incident. She emphasized that she only consumed one drink before blacking out and expressed relief that the situation did not escalate further.
