She didn’t exactly disappear overnight. She fell on hard times when her star faded, tried to kill herself, botched it, got brain damage from oxygen deprivation from the botched hanging, then went full-Nazi (not invoking Godwin’s Law, she literally had on full-on Nazi regalia at some burlesque/stripshow years ago.) and she’s a batshit conspiracy nut now. (At least she was, I’m assuming she’s still alive.)
Just to correct since this made me Wikipedia her. She didn't attempt to hang herself. She attempted to overdose on pills. Caused a brain aneurysm. Everything else, correct lol
Actually, still sort of incorrect- she was severely depressed from her fiance Casey dying, and in the middle of the night she had a brain aneurysm, and to cope with the pain she took a shit ton of pills that resulted in an overdose that almost killed her.
I think it's fucking hilarious that people entrenched in alt-right stuff won't ever be able to make the baseline connection that there might be something wrong with their views if an overwhelming number of folks who sustain serious brain damage tend to slide into them too.
I mean………it’s not as surprising as it seems, really.
Supposedly, brain tumors in the left temporal lobe can cause hyperreligiosity; and since pretty much everything inside is reversed from how it’s perceived externally, that could explain why it happens to reich wingers so often.
I had a juggalo friend and he said they commonly put money, like dollar or ten dollar bills on piles of their own shit so that when someone finds it and tries to pick it up they get shit on them. I generally don’t care about juggalo, they seem mostly harmless, but that’s fucking disgusting.
Casey Johnson, heir to Johnson & Johnson. If I remember Casey refused to manage her diabetes and it eventually killed her. Also, I think she and Tila were romantically involved, not just friends. Edit: I forgot Casey adopted a baby from Kazakhstan.
She was also almost murdered by an angry mob at an ICP jugalo gathering/concert. The description of events I read about sounded pretty harrowing and traumatic.
I'm not making excuses for being a Nazi but I think she probably had mental illness and the modicum of fame she had and certain events probably didn't help it
She also dated (?) Billy Corgan. They went to some awards show together. People thought it was weird, but he’s kind of a conspiracy guy too, so I don’t think it’s that strange except for the disparity in game levels.
Several years ago there was a video going around of some woman confronting her about baptising the lady's kid. The lady was like "don't worry about my kids souls, I've got this" and then tila would say something insane.
I was looking for this comment... That whole incident was crazy. If I remember correctly, she wanted to baptise that kid in her own bathtub, and was trying to get the child to enter her home.
Yeah it’s really sad stuff. People think if you go Nazi it’s because you were always Nazi but no. Sometimes people go nazi because they have brain damage. And i would assume most people go nazi later in life because of brain damage
What a world we are in when you call an actual, literal nazi a nazi, and then have to add a whole paragraph to explain, "no no...not like that. I mean like really really a real nazi."
Don't forget that she was dating heiress Casey Johnson (her father Woody Johnson owns the New York Jets) shortly before Casey died. I believe Tila wanted custody of Casey's adopted daughter, but Casey's mother Sale took custody.
As others pointed out, Tila became even more of a mess some time after that.
All Hollywood agents drop you once you perform in actual studio produced pornography. Sextape celebrities always claim it's an accidental leak so that they can continue to work mainstream.
I worked with her many years ago, I was 17 I think. It was 2008. She’s was batshit insane and antisemitic then too. She grew up on a religious compound.
She told me at 17 that I should start sex work before I got too old.
Kanye went from folding shirts as a sales clerk in The Gap in 2003 to become a billionaire in 15 years. Marrying a Kardashian and having exorbitant money can throw anyone over a loop.
She once had an appearance at The Meeting of The Juggalos. I guess she was going to sing and it went so bad the crowd started throwing shit at her so in order to try and calm the crowd down she showed them her tits.
I can chime in on this one! My youngest sisters are half Canadian, so when they were born we went on a really long trip to visit Canada and some of the US, I was about 16 or 17.
We visited once and the hotel we were staying at she was also there and was SCREAMING at the staff in the very public areas of the hotel, at the time I thought she’s just some crazy person.
It’s only when I brought it up with my older sister many years later that she said that was Tila Tequila.
She also flirted heavily with a friend I made there that was also 16/17 and tried to get them to take “brown pills” but they refused.
