LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tara Reid was all smiles as she posed for photographers on the red carpet during the premiere of 'Pabrik Gula' in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday, March 26.

This comes years after fans voiced concerns about how much weight she had shed at the time, with some speculating that she might have an eating disorder. 

In November 2021, Reid, in an interview with Page Six, assured everyone that she was "doing great" despite the constant comments about her appearance. "I've always been thin. So these stories are kind of crazy because it’s like there’s nothing that has changed for forever," she said at the time.

Tara Reid, the 49-year-old actress best known for her roles in 'American Pie' and 'Sharknado', turned heads with her striking new look at the premiere of the Indonesian horror film.

She wore a black-and-white patterned, floor-length skirt, paired with a bold black leather jacket featuring oversized lapels. Reid styled her blonde hair in loose curls cascading over her shoulders and opted for a natural makeup look to complete her ensemble.

Due to her naturally slim physique, Reid has also been the subject of eating disorder rumors. She firmly denied these claims, telling the Los Angeles Inquisitor in a past interview, "I have no anorexia and never have. And I definitely don't have any bulimia. I'm terrified of throwing up, so that's not gonna happen. And I love food too much."

'The Big Lebowski' star also called out those speculating about her weight, labeling it as a form of bullying.

"So anyone that says I'm anorexic or bulimic, they're wrong. So stop it," she said. "Leave me alone. Pick on me again on something else, but not on those two things. It's not right."

Reflecting on the surgery, the actress said, "I got lipo because even though I was skinny, I wanted - I’m not going to lie – a six-pack. I had body contouring, but it all went wrong. My stomach became the most ripply, bulgy thing."
