Nikki Reed, who has joined the cast of Sleepy Hollow, was hospitalized on Thursday for dehydration and exhaustion.
The Twilight actress and new wife to Vampire Diaries actor Ian Somerhalder was rushed to a San Diego hospital after falling ill at Comic-Con. Although Nikki Reed is said to be doing much better, she told doctors that she was suffering from throat problems. After completing some tests, it was determined that dehydration and exhaustion explained her symptoms.
A source close Nikki told New York Daily News that Nikki Reed, 27,thought she had gotten sick because she had been flying so much lately.
“Nikki said that it was probably because she’s been flying so much for work. She’s been to 20 cities in eight days for work obligations,” said the source.
