Tila Tequila was pelted with bottles, rocks and feces while performing at a gathering of the Juggalos, or Insane Clown Posse fans, in Hardin County, Illinois. Somehow Tila was singing or rapping I guess you would call it, and was targeted by the crowd. TMZ has video (audio is NSFW) that seems to support her claims about how she was injured. You can see bottles and stuff flying nonstop toward the stage. She also shared photos of her injuries to TMZ. This isn’t the first time Tila has shown bruises of injuries, but her last story didn’t have as much evidence behind it as this one does. I’m sorry to put it that way, but given this girl’s history my first instinct is to doubt her. Sadly she seems to be telling the truth. TMZ even has the county sheriff backing her up. It was a rough situation that went overboard and could have resulted in much more serious injuries.
Here’s Tila’s statement to TMZ:
According to Tila, she took the stage at the Gathering of the Juggalos in Illinois — a concert featuring such acts as Insane Clown Posse and Kottonmouth Kings.
Tila gave TMZ a very detailed account of what happened, saying: “I went onstage and immediately, before I even got on stage, DUDES were throwing HUGE STONE ROCKS in my face, beer bottles that slit my eye open, almost burnt my hair on fire cuz they threw fire crackers on stage, and they even took the sh*t out of the port-0-potty and threw sh*t and piss at me when I was onstage.”
She went on to say: “These people were trying to kill me. So then after the last blow to my head with the firecracker they threw at me exploded, my bodygaurd and the other security grabbed me and ran as fast as they could to the shitty trailor. Since their security SUCKS, the 2 thousand people ran after us, trying to kill me. They almost got me so they finally reach the trailor, blood all over myself, cant stop bleeding, then all of a sudden, all 2 thousand people surround the trailor and busts the windows!!! Even the guys INSIDE with me were shaking! Their hands were shaking cuz they were so scared! So 3 guys inside the trailor had to grab a table and push it over the broken windows and grabbed all the chairs they could find so hold the people from outside back. It was scary as hell!”

I feel for Tila if it all went down like that and she feared for her life. As hard as it is, I’m going to try and tone down the snark in this story because no one deserves that. Will this convince her to shelve the music career that no one was paying attention to anyway?
Meanwhile Tila swears that she’s not going to do porn as has been rumored and claims that she got the money for her Lamborghini from her media career. Radar Online has very specific details about the film, allegedly shot by Vivid, including the names of her female co-stars. Radar quotes a source who says “Tila has false hopes for the success of the film. She wasn’t paid anywhere near what Vivid paid Kendra Wilkinson for her tape.” I would bet that she’s moving forward with that, which sounds like a much safer career move for her.

I heard about this yesterday. I couldn’t help but laugh a little, but what those people did to her was really wrong. I don’t think she is lying, although I don’t see the point in concert promoters inviting her if they knew their audience hated her. I’m glad she made it out of their with somewhat minor injuries.
As annoying as she is, I feel bad for her. She needs mental help. I believe that the crowd probably did attack her. They are ICP fans, why would you even put her on stage in front of them? I can’t imagine Tila Tequila’s “music” comes anywhere close to ICP.
I think she should take the hint & b*gger off…
sounds like a PR stunt to me.
If you read the TMZ report, she kept singing through it all (behind a security ‘wall’ of people). That was strange if she feared for her life.
Then she ripped off her top to try to placate the crowd (its on the tmz video btw). That there sounds kinda fishy to me. If an angry crowd was threatening me, i know the first thing i’d do is get naked in front of them. heh
I wouldnt put it past her to put her people in the crowd to throw things at her for the publicity (and the ability to now sue). She has the history for that kind of drama.
Sorry, I normally don’t agree with violence but +1 for the Juggalos!
The person who booked this gig for her obviously hates her. These are JUGGALOS, the absolute scum of the earth, with probably about 12 brain cells between the whole lot of them. They love the worst kinds of violence and think it’s funny and entertaining to be as gruesome and sick as possible.
And someone thought it would be a great idea put TILA TEQUILA up in front of those people? She’s lucky she only ended up with bruises and cuts. I’m actually kind of surprised she wasn’t bumrushed on stage and gangraped or stabbed to death, and I’m being completely serious here. That she’s still alive is amazing to me.
I just don’t know whose side to be on in this story, though. If it had been anyone other than Tila, I’d be feeling sympathetic for them.
What is the question? Did it really happen?
Of course it did. Witnesses abound on this.
She is really a lost soul, isn’t she…
I have to ask…Why would her management team and ICP’s marketing team decide to put her on stage? The ICP/Kottonmouth Kings legitimate performers with a huge fan base. They may not make music for everyone, but why would you put a famewhore wannabe up on stage for them to denigrate? It’s just poor marketing.
GatsbyGal: I had similar thoughts while reading this. What were her people thinking? I’ve had the misfortune to be acquainted with “Juggalos” and it was truly and unsettling experience. I don’t ever want to be near such people again. She should be thankful this was the extent of it and go away.
Jo, they kept screaming at her to show her boobs. Maybe she did it thinking it would shut them up?
I don’t know but violence is not okay against anyone. I’m not a Tila fan but still. There’s proof that it was done (witnesses, videos)and possibly even premeditated. I read elsewhere that it was discussed beforehand on Twitter and whatnot.
The organizers of the show know thats not her fans yet they invited her. I don’t understand that. Someone should pay for that pathetic behavior shown to her but I’d say the same for anyone cause no one deserves to be treated so rudely.
I saw the video and I threw piss bottle at my screen.
Juggalos are hilariously, awesomely creepy. Not in a badass way, but it a backwoods/mountain people/future ‘true crime’ story in the making sort of way. I find them both profoundly disturbing *and* entertaining, much like skoalrebel. Who may well be one of them, come to think of it.
ETA: Never had the chance to actually meet one, though. This has all been internet voyeurism for me- I’d love to hear your first-hand accounts.
I didn’t know she had a talent. Was surprised to see she on a stage – any stage – performing anything other than a gross sex act.
I am against violence but to stay? I agree with JO:4 Sounds like a Publicity Stunt to me. A feel sorry for me drama. If people were throwing rocks and fecees at me I sure as heck would not stay on stage much less reward them by taking my shirt off. No one with a brain would . Ooops, brain and Tila T don’t belong in the same sentence.
Seriously what did she expect?
These guys are pretty hardcore and she’s just a dried up party girl.
I live in Chicago and the radio stations this morning discussing this were hilarious! “Huge stone rocks? As apposed to what, foam rocks?” Whoever did this were sick individuals and no matter how much you hate on Tila, no one deserves this, but hearing the play by play, you have to wonder how drunk or high she must have been. I agree that her manager or whoever booked her for this must have some serious hate for her.
I feel badly for this poor girl, and apparently they have proof it was premeditated. Apparently someone threw a watermelon on stage that had been “marinating in human wastes” for a few days.
HELLO!!!! That audience sounds so vile, depraved and disgusting! WTF!? Let’s fly over their next gathering and drop used razor blades, hospital biohazard waste, glass bottles, and sewage from third-world countries on them. (Who are these demons and why are they free to organize and act?!)
LOL, what was her booking agent THINKING!??!?!
She’d get booed off the stage anywhere else. Only with gore metal bands would she get literal shit thrown at her.
I kinda hesitate to call ICP and Kottonmouth “metal” because I’m a metalhead and I hate that shit, but that’s the best definition.
I don’t feel sorry for her at all, and yes, some people do actually deserve this kind of treatment.
This is the same woman who faked pregnancies, faked miscarriages, faked self-harm. She smiled and happily posed for paps not even 24 hours after her “fiance” passed away (from neglecting to care for her diabeetes, which is something Tila should’ve been helping her with had she actually cared about the woman) and then told the media she should have custody of the woman’s daughter. And she’s nearly ruined a man’s career/life by falsifying claims of domestic abuse. Really, the list probably goes on but this is all I can recall off the top of my head.
This “woman” is the worst of us, the lowest of the low, the filthiest of gutter trash. She will mislead, lie, and hurt if it grants her 10 fucking minutes in front of a camera. I’m sorry (not really), but all the thrown rocks and beer bottles in the world are just not enough.
This is a rough crowd and not exactly her fan base…I’m not surprised she got the reaction she did.
@Jo
Tila has a history of sexual and physical abuse if I remember correctly.
Removing her shirt and using her sexuality to try to appease or control a crowd of angry violent men makes sense in a very sad and disturbed way.
Sometimes people who have suffered abuse & are still blaming themselves for it set themselves up to be in abusive situations to perpetuate their sense of being victimized and powerless.
And they abuse others as well.
The girl needs help.
Poor girl (don’t really have any feelings about her either way, I’m just not sure what she’s for…)
I’ve never met a juggalo, but having heard ICP’s music (hilariously terrible) and googled the J word I feel a little more confident in saying that nobody in face paint has ever scared me, especially not when it’s coupled with a size XXXXXL hockey top/cocktail dress.
@ Jillian- fellow metaller! I’ve been to a fair few ultra black metal gigs (Watain etc, never too sure what people mean by gore metal, unless you mean Cannibal Corpse but it’s the same crowd) and there was no shit throwing. The crowds there don’t tend to have daddy-uncles and mum-sisters.
Those poor rocks and poop! Now they probably have gonoherpasyphilaids.
Yeah, ICP isn’t metal. It’s more like shitty rap/hip-hop made by fat white inbreds for fat white inbreds.
I really do think she is mentally ill and that it goes beyond being “bi-polar”. I think it is sad that instead of getting some sort of treatment we hear daily updates on her sick life which is getting progressivly worse.
As for this incident no one deserves to have bottles and feces thrown at them no matter what they have done. I hope that these guys get caught.
I don’t like Tila at all, but those a-holes really did not need to do all that.
Have you guys seen this clip of “Juggalo News”? It’s hilarious, but has NSFW language:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkC7dcxZ5_Q
@ Artista, you made me laugh.
We laughed at Justin Bieber getting something thrown at him so I’ll laugh at Tila getting one thing thrown at her, then I’ll feign outrage. I mean, they’re the same size, right?
Years ago, at the SARS concert in Toronto that was headlined by the Rolling Stones, Justin Timberlake performed and he had stuff thrown at him. Afterwards he said it was all the AC/DC fans and if he were there for an AC/DC concert, he’d probably throw a bottle at him too.
That girl is going to get murdered someday. I’d tell her to back off the limelight and scale it back big time!
I can’t stand her, but I don’t think anyone deserves that. I think it’s sad that her one legitimate attempt at actually working (her singing “career”) is probably just going to die a screaming death and she’ll do the porno track instead.
Her music might have been crap, but I thought it was good that she was going to try to do something other than make up lies on twitter and make tampon-tastic naked videos of herself.
Amy, that’s one of the FUNNIEST things I’ve ever seen. the correspondents’ names alone had me laughing.
I agree, it’s hard to see these people as “hardcore” when they paint their face like clowns.
and their lyrics? just…profound.*
(*please note sarcasm)

if I didn’t know this video was for real, I’d think it was a spoof. looks like it was done in one of those booths at a Six Flags park.
i don’t condone violence, and obviously pursuant to the video/s stuff was actually thrown at her, but…
1. i dunno about the rest of the world, but if i was ever in a situation where people started pelting me with sharp things, i wouldn’t stick around too long.
2. that audience was full of idiots. she almost seems to be taunting or encoruaging them in the tmz video. why would you taunt drunk and high people with sharp things???
3. it’s hard to feel sympathetic to an attention whore with zero tact.
i think there’s a double onus here: the audience shouldn’t throw things, and Tila shouldn’t stand there taking it.
Tila was warned on her Myspace page days before the event, that she would receive exactly this treatment should she show at the concert. She got hundreds of messages telling her to stay away from this event. When she went onstage, she started taunting the crowd with “here I am”, “you don’t scare me” and “your threats won’t keep me away.” I read these comments last night online. She knew they were waiting for her and what they were going to do. Being Tila, she showed up for the publicity. I think she got a little more attention that she bargained for. (She reminds me of little wanna-be dogs in that I honestly can’t figure out if they’re really brave or really stupid.) However, she did not deserve physical mistreatment of any kind. Nobody does.
Oh, and she’s already making plans to sue the concert promoters.
She didn’t feel afraid enough to get off the stage. I partly blame the gathering planners for not pulling her off. The only possible lie I see is that people on the scene said less than 100 people chased her after she left the stage not the 2000 she claimed.
It’s not rare for the juggles to do this if. The threw things at Andrew W.K. in 2008 that vid is on YouTube.
Who booked HER for this event? They are the ones that should be sued. This quite obviously was no going to go well. I don’t like her at all but no one deserves to be attacked like that.
Why was there not a bomb dropped while all these idiots were gathered in one place?!?! What a missed opportunity!! Could of taken out the dregs of society plus Tila Tequila, it would have been perfect!!
it sings? lord have mercy.
Man, I hate ICP but this story is really funny. I like how her reaction is to take her top off, like “I have nothing to say in my defense but here’s my plastic tits!”
I know a few “Juggalo’s” and they are typically stupid, wild, and fat. That being said, I would be scared of them in a huge pack, too as they have zero moral code.
GatsyGal: For some reaso I looked at your post and got “gan-graped” out of “gang-raped.” I was thinking what the h-ll! Then I got it.
Sounds pretty scary. I hope she thinks before doing more of her BS tweet stunts, sounds like a lot of people are sick of her.
@nnire-i was thinking the same thing.
i don’t condone violence of any kind but she even said they were throwing crap BEFORE she went on stage. then she just hid behind people? still performing? while crap is thrown at her? i’m sorry, but if huge, heavy items are being heaved in my direction, i’m not going on stage and if i’m already there, i’m not sticking around no matter how many big people there are for me to hide behind.
ok – i just watched the video and i laughed my ass off. she “sings” like a cat in heat, and if she is stupid enough to stand there and let people throw shit (literally) at her, she deserves everything she got. dumbass.
I sort of, uh, follow, this person and her little exploits. She’s a dangerous person because of what she does to her little “Tila Army,” which consists mostly of underage kids, and I’m not even going to go into all that, but it’s the reason why I know far too much about all this.
Tila was told over and over, in every public forum you can find that this was going to happen. She TAUNTED the Juggalo’s before she even got there. She said she had something special she was going to toss back at them. She pretended she was close friends with other artists there, artists who never even met her.
When she took the stage, nearly 2 hours late, she was lip-syncing (badly), and swearing at the crowd, telling them that she wasn’t leaving, calling them, “b*thches,” then taking her shirt off and waving it around. She was surrounded by security, who batted away 90% of whatever was thrown, which was mostly liquid. For most of whatever her “set” was, she forgot the lyrics anyway. Tom Green (stoned) wandered onto the stage and deflected a lot of the attention. Some nut tried to jump at Tila but was pushed back down by security.
She claims 2000 Juggalos rushed at her and chased her into a trailer. There were less than 800 at the event. She said police had to be called. There were already police at the event. She said windows were broken in at the trailer. No windows were observed broken at the trailer. She had pictures of bruises/cuts on her side – pictures have been found in the last several hours that show those bruises were there the day before the show.
As more and more video comes out now that the Juggalo gathering winds down, her story is falling apart more and more. TMZ, who she originally sold the story to, caught up with Samantha Ronson and asked her for her opinion on the whole thing (Tila has been going off on Lindsay Lohan) and asked if she thought the whole thing might have been a PR stunt.
You have to wonder if TMZ is finally getting it through their thick skulls that they’ve been played too.
What I want to know is who’s the pig who sh*ts and picks it up and throws it? Or do they bring it with them in a bag? Is that a normal Juggalo thing? Jeezus. Glad I’m not familiar then.
Hooray GatsbyGirl!I couldn’t agree more.
Why do you people defend her? If anything, she deserves ALL the public humiliation and vilification. Why you ask?
Tila is a sick individual who preys on the young and feeble minds. She is a professional victim player. When things don’t go exactly as plan, she turns around and starts to threaten to sue anyone and everyone.
She CONDONES violence against women. She CONDONES violence and domestic violence. She is one MISOGYNISTIC MONSTER.
It’s all fun and games when it happens to others. Oh, she had no trouble ridiculing Perez when he got a beat down. She had no problems pointing and laughing for months on end about it.
She had publicly DEFENDED that sleeze, Chris Brown, publicly saying that Rhianna DESERVED (?!!!) getting beat. WTF?!
Apparently most of you have never bothered to watch the video. Where was the fire crackers that supposedly set her ratty extensions on fire? Where were the “stone” rocks, feces, urine and GLASS bottles that she claimed to have been pelted with? If anything, all I saw was PLASTIC bottles that were DEFLECTED by the security team that she was hiding behind.
If she was in fear for her life, why was she on stage for 2 song sets TAUNTING and INCITING the crowd? She got what she deserved.
Those scratch marks on her face are fake and so is the blood. Since when is blood orange? Also, that crescent shaped marking on her side abs was already there prior to her taking the stage. Tila is NOTORIOUS for embellishing her stories. How many different versions has she told about that so-called attempted suicide incident that happened in June? First, she claimed it was her alter ego (the truth came out that she took those photos 2 days prior of uploading the pics and video). She then claimed it was a joke. Then she claimed it was a suicide attempt. And now? She’s accusing someone that was a friend and papparazo for that. SMMFH
You people will believe ANYTHING this whore says. She has a Flog. Why didn’t she write up her own exclusive of what went down at GOTJ? Why did she SELL her LIES to TMZ? Oh, that’s right, this hogul is arse broke. Where’s that Lambo she claims to have bought and own? Oh, yeah, it’s back at the dealership ’cause she only rented it out for the weekend.
Tila already filmed that porn last month. She’s denying it because her strategy was to claim that her “sex tape” got leaked.
What will she NOT do for attention? This twisted individual does NOT care what sort of attention she gets, as long as she gets attention. Straight from that alien whore’s mouth.
wow, these people sound disturbed. Why are they allowed to live again?
Tila is a brave woman if she follows through on suing and ruining the Juggalos annual get together. I can only imagine what they would have in store for her. The best part of the incident was her thinking she could take her shirt off and make it all better. Why are the security people not backing up her story yet? Odd.
@44
“You people will believe ANYTHING this whore says.”
Yikes. Take a little swig of the bathtub hooch and I’m sure you’ll start to mellow out.
I know several juggalos/lettes as well as identify with them. I am not going to defend what they did all I want to say is having her there would be like having slipknot or other metal band at an elton john concert it makes NO SENSE WHY SHE WAS THERE
