Tara Reid Instagram – If you’re a young person discovering @tarareid on TikTok, it’s hard to imagine just how famous she really was. But she was the kind of famous where you invest in three restaurants and a fast-food-inspired spot called Ketchup. Reid also had a clothing line with @edhardy designer Christian Audigier called Mantra — a perfect 2000s MadLib. Her currency was youth. But her appeal went beyond that. She was a rare combination: a bombshell who played the straight man, who could outfit the era’s raunchiest comedies with heart and naivete. “It was a different time,” she says wistfully, the words hanging in the air. This was before Instagram, before smartphones, before all of it. “We used to go out, do whatever we wanted — then bam. It just changed so fast.” At the link in bio, the actor speaks to @mickeyrapkin on the impact paparazzis and tabloid culture had on her career, her relationship with Nathan Montpetit-Howar, and returning to Hollywood.
