The actress was left devastated when a boob job left her with uneven breasts, and liposuction on her stomach went wrong. She was left with folds of skin on her tummy, and although she has since had both operations rectified, people still presume she is unhappy with her body. She was left with unsightly scars following botched surgery but after a tidy up, Tara is now confident with how she looks.

"I got it fixed and now I'm OK, and I want people to know that I'm OK," she explained in a recent interview.

"I've been OK now for the last five or six years but people only show old pictures which is so unfair and that's part of the reason why I did the Playboy shoot - to show the world this is me and this is what I look like."

“I’m in my 30s now and I feel I’m at the best age in my life - mentally, physically and spiritually - and I’m proud of it,” the actress goes on to explain.

The Playboy spread, which features a topless Reid, is out December 18, and admits she decided to flash her flesh to silence those who have continued to criticize her figure.
