Tara Reid hits back at ‘bullying’ skinny-shamers – saying ‘leave me alone’
FURIOUS Tara Reid has hit out at people “bullying” her and said she has been body-shamed because she’s “skinny”.
The Hollywood actress said she has been overwhelmed by vicious comments about her weight since starring in an American reality show similar to SAS: Who Dares Wins earlier this year.
Tara, 48, told the Los Angeles Inquisitor: “If we were overweight then they can’t say anything because that’s bullying.
“But it’s the same thing if you’re skinny.
“So stop it. Leave me alone. Pick on me again on something else, but not on those two things. It’s not right.”
The American Pie star was taking part in season two of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
However the Scrubs actress decided to call it quits just two days in.
She recently celebrated her 48th birthday and wowed on a night out with a pal.
The star looked glamorous in a purple metallic minidress which she teamed with beige platform heels.
Tara wore her signature blonde hair polker straight, and framing her face.
The star first lashed out at body-shaming trolls in 2021 after sharing a bikini photo.
She shared: “To all who made their great comments exposing their hate for my artsy picture I posted yesterday, it was the angle.
“Here is another picture from yesterday to show you I am not too skinny, I have a high metabolism.
“Anyone with a high metabolism understands it’s impossible to gain weight.
“All I do is eat. To everyone who wrote something nice and stuck up for me, I love you!
“And keep spreading that love, it is the only thing that will save this world.”
The actress shot to fame in The Big Lebowski as Bunny Lebowski in 1998.
A year later she won a role in American Pie and went on to star in National Lampoon’s Van Wilder, American Reunion, and Sharknado.
