Random Whatever Happened To Tila Tequila? (15 items)

(#9) She Suffered A Brain Aneurysm In 2012

In 2012, Tequila was hospitalized after an accidental OD. She also suffered a brain aneurysm.

"I can remember feeling like the bones were popping out the side of my head [because] the pain was so bad. I took some medications and tried to go for a nap, but when I woke up I was vomiting," she explained.

Tequila's roommate found her and called 911. After a hospital stay, Tequila spent one month in a treatment facility.

After the 30 day program, Tequila said that she felt better than ever. "Honestly, I feel like I have been reborn...I got excellent treatment and I did a total detox of all substances and medications. This was really tough but I managed to do it."
(#15) She's Attempted A Career In Music

Tequila released her first single "I Love U" via iTunes in 2007. None of the songs on her debut album topped the music charts. That did not stop her from releasing another album in 2010 under a new stage name, Miss Tila. Her first single, originally titled "I F*cked the DJ" which became "I Love My DJ," received poor reviews and also failed to top the music charts.

Later that same year, she released the album Welcome to the Darkside, which was influenced by great female singers like Nina Simone. The EP did not perform well. In 2015, she released the single "Drunk Dialing" which featured Yak Boy Fresh. That musical endeavor also failed to launch her music career.
(#6) She Went After A Transgender YouTuber

Tequila went after a YouTube personality on March 9, 2018. Nikita Dragun, a popular transgender YouTube celebrity, shared a photo of herself before and after her transition on Facebook for International Woman's Day. Tequila reposted the photo on her personal Facebook page alongside a critical post.

Mentioning God and her faith multiple times throughout the post, Tequila called the photo one of many "abominations" being spread online. And she wasn't exclusively condemning trans people either. Tequila also said men liking provocative pictures would face the wrath of God as well.
(#8) Her Explicit Tape Won An Award At The AVNs In 2015

In 2015, Tequila won the award at the AVN Awards, which is considered the adult industry's equivalent to the Academy Awards.

Tequila had another tape that came out in 2009. However, she claimed at the time of its release on the internet that the footage was taken off her laptop. The speculation is that she made both tapes around the same time but only released the second one after she grabbed headlines for posting her controversial manifesto.
(#1) She Claims Satan Possessed Her

In November 2018, Tequila released a video from 2012 - with God's "go-ahead" - concerning her departure from Hollywood. In the video, the reality star claims she was possessed by Satan: "So back in 2012 I was in Hollywood and I was in the world of Satan."
Tequila also claimed that she "actually [passed]" and that the demons of Hollywood "kept sending agents over to the house to [get rid of] me." She knew she had to leave Hollywood after the passing of her fiancé Casey Johnson, whom she said Paris and Nicky Hilton "sacrificed."
(#5) She Posts About Conspiracy Theories

Tequila is one of those people who believe that the Earth is flat. To defend her position, she posted on her Twitter page: "Why are all the buildings in NYC standing straight up? If earth was round buildings would have a slight tilt."

It's not the only conspiracy theory she apparently believes in. In 2013, the former reality star wrote a detailed message that linked the passing of a Canadian woman named Elisa Lam with Paul Walker's demise. Walker perished in a car collision the same year Lam's remains were found in a water tank on the rooftop of a Los Angeles hotel. Both demises were deemed accidental. However, Tequila claims that both were actually part of what she called a ritualistic slaying.
