The video, which has already been copied many times over on YouTube (and those versions may be pulled down by TMZ.com) shows Tila singing to the crowd, while several men, including Comedian Tom Green, form a barrier between her and a hostile crowd.
But, with the exception of one person, the video does not show the many hordes of people rushing the stage to get her. Then again, the video cuts off before Tila Tequila leaves the stage.
As I state in my video, the attack was premeditated.
Since my video, some Juggalos have said Tila had it coming to her for doing the Gathering of the Juggalos in the first place. One annual Gathering of the Juggalos attendee, Molly McAleer, blogged this:
Yeah, yeah, beating up a woman (or anyone) is pretty shitty, but it’s obvious that Tila was being seriously disrespectful of what is considered to be a sacred experience for an entire subculture....
I will say that I’m sad for the FAM right now. This is the kind of incident the press was looking for and they got it. The media and Internet love to paint Juggalos (ha) as particularly violent folks because of the themes in their music and jargon, but in actuality, there are huge fights at every music festival. We’re always hearing about performers getting things thrown at them on stage or fans getting rowdy. Remember when a bunch of non-Juggalos ruined Woodstock, for cryin’ out loud? WOODSTOCK. And remember when that chickenhead died during Pearl Jam’s set at a festival in Denmark a couple years ago?...
IN SUMMATION: Tila, you’re a fake bitch and you had it coming. Don’t disrespect the FAM that feeds you. Juggalos, I love you, but next year y’all gotta show them that you’re different. Our society is in an unfortunate place where we pick and choose who it’s OK to discriminate against (although everyone will claim discrimination is unacceptable when asked outright), and at this moment in time, you are a prime target.
Tila Tequila has said she will sue the producers of the Gathering of the Juggalos.
