Tara Reid — who starred in the American Pie films — says she has been bullied by vile trolls online.

The 50-year-old actress was dashed to hospital after it was alleged she had her drink spiked at a hotel in Chicago, Illnois last month. However, police closed the investigation yesterday as it was deemed there was not enough evidence to support Tara's claims.

Reacting to this, Tara said she has experienced a traumatic few weeks, particularly with her mental health. The actress, who played Kevin Myers' girlfriend Vicky Lathum in the American Pie films, said: "It was a truly heartbreaking experience. 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."

Paramedics took Tara on a stretcher out of the lobby and into an ambulance after she fell ill at the hotel, it is said. She believes her wine was tampered with at the establishment.

According to the Daily Mail, a police officer from the Rosemont police department told Tara: "Just wanted to again reiterate that you know we've looked into everything that we can at the hotel and everything that happened that night, spoke to everyone that we can looked at any and all video that we can, and at this point, I don't want to make it sound like we don't think anything happened.

"From everything that we've seen and everybody that we spoke to and all the video, there's no evidence to support anything for us to charge somebody at this time."

However, police in Chicago have told the actress if she had anything further to give them about the case they will follow up on it. She hopes speaking about her ordeal will help raise awareness of the dangers of spiking.

Tara, who was also in Scrubs, added: "I am making this statement to help people see the truth of what actually happened so they can understand the facts and how truly heartbreaking this is. To imagine how terrifying it would be as a woman having some wine and then waking up in the hospital with no clothes on in a gown after 12 hours not having any idea of what happened to me.

"I want to say thank you to all the people who have had my back and have reached out to me with concern and want them to know how much that has saved me during this terrible time."
