Tara Reid suffered from a brief bout of anorexia nervosa following her
upsetting and traumatic breakup with MTV DJ Carson Daly (they
had been engaged). This coincided with the filming of
American Pie 2 (2001), which is why Ms. Reid appeared gaunt in
several scenes (primarily those that were reshoots), as well as at the
premiere of the film. Her illness ended in late 2001, when she began
filming National Lampoon's American Party : Van Wilder, relations publiques (2002).
"If Carson was an actor, he'd understand why I have to be away on sets
and that if I have to kiss another guy in a movie, I do it. He'd read
the tabloids that I was with Ashton Kutcher, but that was a
bunch of bull. Then, I started reading he was with a stripper, and that
wasn't true. You start tripping on each other for no reason. It makes
you crazy." - about part of why she and ex-fiancé MTV VJ
Carson Daly split up.
