Reid spent the late 1990s appearing more often on the cover of tabloid magazines than on screen. Her extroverted social life soon gave her a reputation as a party girl; in fact, U.S. magazine In Touch Weekly, recently voted Reid "top party animal". She spoofed that image with her role on the NBC sitcom Scrubs as Danni Sullivan, main character J.D.\'s promiscuous girlfriend.

Taradise, her half-hour television show on the E! network, premiered in September 2005; it was canceled the following month. The show was an updated incarnation of E!\'s popular series Wild On, where a celebrity host or model traveled to exotic locations to party with locals.

On the night of November 4, 2004, Reid was embarrassed by a wardrobe malfunction at a highly-publicized photo shoot at Puff Daddy\'s 35th birthday party at Cipriani\'s Restaurant in New York City, when her dress fell, exposing her left breast. Photos of Reid having larger, perkier breasts than before had been circulating the Internet for several months before the incident, igniting rumors of Reid having undergone a breast augmentation. Scar tissue was visible around Reid\'s nipple, confirming rumors of breast implants. The photographs were widely distributed. In August 2005, she publicly admitted getting breast augmentation surgery.^{[citation needed]} In October 2006, she admitted in an interview with Us Weekly that she also had liposuction.Us Exclusive: Tara Admits to Botched Implants, Liposuction In the interview she also discusses how her plastic surgery "went wrong," and also explains why she decided to have plastic surgery done, saying that her breasts were uneven and that she had saggy skin. In the same interview, Reid\'s new plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Svehlak, reported that he performed a procedure called a doughnut mastopexy to correct her original breast augmentation.
