Tila Tequila Attacked and Lawsuit: Are the Juggalos Really to Blame?

If Tila was Warned About the Attack, is it Her Own Fault?

Tila Tequila was attacked at the 11th annual Gathering of the Juggalos. Tila Tequila was attacked by bricks, beer bottles, and even human excrement. The crowd got rowdy at the 11th annual Gathering of the Juggalos, and started lashing out towards the singer, who was performing on Ladies Night.

Tila's act wasn't the only event for the night. Rapper Lil Kim was even booked to play at the event, which prides itself on not having any corporate sponsorship.

In an effort to "calm" the crowd, Tila took her shirt OFF. Yes, she bore her chest...which made things WORSE. (Imagine that.) Then, her security had to sweep her to her trailer, which was then beaten by the angry mob, who broke the windows out.

The end result is that the reality show starlet was badly bruised and even cut by the events that unfolded. Exclusive photos at TMZ.com showcase a very scary looking Tila - sans makeup and with lots and lots of injuries.

Arguably, this story seems far fetched, but sadly it's not. It could also be the start of yet another Tila Tequila lawsuit.

We all know that she sued Shawne Merriman back in the day for an alleged domestic dispute, and then had a naked UStream rant, and then the lawsuit was dropped. Something tells me she won't drop this lawsuit.

However, a caveat of the story is that presumably, Tila was warned about the entire thing by ICP's Violent J. He told her that he heard rumors that people were planning to hurt her while she was performing.

Given the bricks, and the brutality of the attack it wouldn't be too far to venture that she could have been seriously injured if things played out worse than they did.

Tila is lawyering up, claiming that the security was too lax at the concert and that the lack of security led to this happening.

ICP's Violent J did say that he wishes that fans wouldn't have reacted the way they did, but that the "Gathering of the Juggalos" would try to defend themselves against this suit.

If Tila was warned, was it really the Gathering's fault? I mean, if someone told me that there were plans to injure me at a place I was set to perform, I would either demand more security at the venue OR simply not go. Perhaps Tila Tequila didn't take the advice or warnings seriously.

    Unfortunate indeed. Good luck to Ms. Tequila and a speedy recovery.

    This is unfortunate. She is a human being. Human beings should never treat other human beings that way.
