They are so moved they even let him borrow one of their motorcycles to continue on his journey. So I can see why Tila Tequila might have thought she had a fighting chance at this thing. Leading up to the Gathering, she was not exactly well loved. The petite Singaporean-born year-old is a very modern celebrity, in that her most notable achievement is that she became a celebrity. She peaked with a two-season stint as host of her own reality show, but the world was done being kind with her after that.
And yet just as clearly, here was a woman who represented the complete opposite path that any self-respectingly self-pitying Juggalo would take. Far from sticking to her guns as an outcast, a reject, Tequila disavowed herself completely, to the point of being a cipher. She rapped, she acted. She modeled, she was your whatever you want. She wanted to be loved in a way that no Juggalo ever wants to be loved.
The incident involving Tequila was not the only violence at the festival early Saturday. Seiner said a year-old Georgia man was arrested as a suspect in the stabbing of another man in the abdomen just hours earlier. Share this on:. Most Popular. Fine art from an iPhone?

Whatever Happened to the New York Auteur? What happened? De Blasio united left and right—each found reasons for wanting to kick him to the curb. The performance began to take on the quality of a dunking booth. An air of violence permeated the crowd. From where I stood, it all seemed fundamentally harmless. I was torn between my natural horror at seeing a tiny, solitary woman being abused by a massive, enraged crowd and my not wholly insupportable belief that Tequila may in fact, be the worst woman in the world.
It somehow made a sad, surreal spectacle even more horrifying. I was reminded of the moment in Nashville where Gwen Welles performs a similarly unexpected, impromptu striptease in a tragic attempt to overcome a similar lack of talent.
Nothing worked. A Juggalo attempted to mount the stage but was repelled by security guards, and a particularly ambitious Juggalo grabbed an oversized trashcan from the ground and the receptacle began to make an ominous voyage towards the stage. Oh God was I wrong. When Juggalos talked about how they chased Tequila back to her trailer and smashed the windows I assumed it was nothing more than typical Juggalo bluster.
I figured they were merely talking a big game. It begins with feverish excitement and a delusional desire to win over the Juggalos, then devolves into panic, despair, and rage:. On my way to airport!!! Can't wait to perform at the concert tonight!!!
