"Taradise" is officially cancelled, offers for other acting gigs are not pouring in, and "American Pie" actress Tara Reid is blaming the media ...and her publicists ... and directors ... and her Taradise producers ... as the cause of her career sliding into the toilet.
"People think I am just a party girl, and it's bullshit," she told Chaunce Hayden of Steppin' Out magazine, who reported it to PageSix. "I wish they would just tell the truth. I'm not a drunk . . . I don't have a drinking problem. I don't have a drug problem, for sure."
"Listen, if I could get good movies, you would never see me going out. But when there's nothing to do, what am I supposed to do, just sit in my house and go crazy? But going out is not all I do. I'm just fed up. I just want a chance again. I want to show that I am an actress . . . I just wish a director would believe in me."
, "I've had a million publicists," Tara continued,"and they've done nothing for me . . . Publicists are supposed to fight for me and believe in me, and they don't do that. They don't!"
The rant continued: "I thought 'Taradise' was going to help me. I wanted to show the whole world the truth — I'm fun. But do I think it was cut like that? No. It could have been a better show . . . I didn't want to look like a total party-girl drug retard. I think the shots they show aren't fair."
"How many more years are [the media] going to pick on me? There's other new young bad girls. Move on to someone else! . . . I need one more great movie role so they say, 'Wow, she can act! She's a great actress.' Then I think they'll leave me alone . . . If I'm going to try and do something, it has to happen this year. I'm not stupid."
