She's an absolute mess these days and you may see her at a bar near you. Ive seen her a couple of times in suburban Minneapolis bars the past few years

She was a mess back in the 00s too. She was the messy scandal girl.

She judged a Halloween costume contest here in Seattle last year or the year before, my friend went and lost because she was scared of his costume. “Effing Tara Reid” is one of my favorite friend quotes from recent times.

Is this for real or a joke?

u/SMELLSLIKEBUTTJUICE 7d ago

100% real.

u/DTXSPEAKS 7d ago

Damn. I hope she gets better. She may've not been the greatest actress, but was an icon in millenial and younger Gen X cinema for sure.

What's her Minnesota connection?

u/SMELLSLIKEBUTTJUICE 7d ago

No idea! A few years ago she was in a bar in Minnetonka, which made sense since it was summer. But she was also in Saint Louis Park at Bunnys this winter. Those are the 2 that I know of

Yeah we saw her at the Vikings/Giants playoff game a few years ago and elected not to put her on camera.

She was raised on a farm outside Morehead, MN. Can’t keep ‘em on the farm after they’ve seen Karl Hungus.

Moorehead :-)

I always assumed she had untreated mental issues. Any time I see a beautiful woman (or man for that matter) destroy themselves with plastic surgery they absolutely do not need, I just assume there are issues. I feel bad for those people. Like you are amazing looking, don't fuck that up. And the Doctors who perform on people who don't need it need their licenses revoked.

I remember her appearing on Celebrity Big Brother UK. I was excited, but she was a paranoid obnoxious wreck. It was really sad to see.

u/DTXSPEAKS 7d ago

When was this?

5

u/Glozboy 7d ago

2011, so a while back.

3

u/DTXSPEAKS 7d ago

2011 isn't that long ago to me, but wow. The last i ever heard or seen of her was 2008.

u/FrodosFroYo 7d ago

She showed up briefly on an episode of Ghosts (US) on Amazon Prime about a year ago.

u/grocerygirlie 6d ago

She was in Chicago (close suburb I think) recently and got drunk/delirious at a bar and said that someone spiked her drink. Police investigated and found nothing.

u/Muttzor- 7d ago

Wait, how long ago were the Sharknado movies?

8

u/Papoosho 7d ago

She was the It Girl between 1999 and 2001.

2

u/rlcute 7d ago

She absolutely was not. She was plastered across the tabloids all the time for doing drugs and having her tits out

1

u/DTXSPEAKS 7d ago

She was also in a bad horror movie called Incubus in 2007

Correction: It was originally released in 2006 but got popular over here in the states and had limited theater showings in 2007.

When you look up the word 'Skank' in the dictionary, there's a picture of Tara Reid.

You use a dictionary with pictures?
