CNN ^ | 8-16-10 | Alan Duke

Reality TV star Tila Tequila suffered facial cuts when she was pelted with rocks and bottles while performing at a music festival in Illinois early Saturday, according to a witness and a law enforcement official.

"She's pretty cut up," said a performer who saw the violence at the "Gathering of the Juggalos" in rural Hardin County, Illinois. The witness asked not to be identified so that he does not anger the juggalos.

Tequila, a Playboy model who also sings, posted a Twitter message Saturday, saying she would sue the festival, which is organized for fans of the hip-hop group Insane Clown Posse.

Tequila eventually escaped, but only after windows in her SUV were smashed, he said.

Hardin County Sheriff Tom Seiner, who offered a similar description of the events, said he has an open investigation.

Tequila offered her descriptions of the events in a statement to celebrity news website.

"I went onstage and immediately, before I even got on stage, dudes were throwing huge stone rocks in my face, beer bottles that slit my eye open, almost burnt my hair ... cuz they threw fire crackers on stage," she wrote.

The witness, who was standing in the rear of the stage, said the crowd of about 2,000 was immediately angry toward Tequila and she was unable to turn them around.

"She was taunting them," he said. "She didn't know how to handle them. She didn't understand the dynamic."

The rocks and bottles flew harder and faster when Tequila bared her breasts, he said.

"She took her top off and they got really violent," he said.

Tequila continued to perform even after her face started bleeding, he said. "She was holding a towel to her head, blood pouring down her face," he said.

"It was scary as hell!" Tequila wrote.

Gee...it's too bad a random asteroid couldn't have impacted and created localized devastation at that event.

Now you're talking! Juggalos and Tila Tequila in one shot - too bad the cast of Jersey Shore couldn't be there too.

From those pictures, that looks like a fine place to test a neutron bomb.

Nah...the whole point behind a neutron bomb is to leave the infrastructure behind so you can use it. There's nothing there worth leaving. Best bet is cauterization, so just go ahead and lob a B-61.

From Wikipedia:J

uggalo or Juggalette (the latter being feminine) is a name given to fans of Insane Clown Posse or any other Psychopathic Records hip hop group. Juggalos have developed their own idioms, slang, and characteristics.

There have been numerous incidents of Juggalos committing violent acts, though there is no independent evidence linking music with violence or crime.[20][21][22][23][24] Although Juggalos have denied any connection to gang activity,[4] authorities have classified them as a gang in Utah,[25] Arizona,[4] Monroe County, Pennsylvania[26][27] and Modesto, California.[28]

Because of this, some schools have prohibited students from wearing Insane Clown Posse related paraphernalia.[29][30] During Tila Tequila’s performance at the 2010 Gathering of the Juggalos, numerous items were thrown at her and she has threatened to sue the event’s promoters, Insane Clown Posse.[31][32]

As the public face of the Juggalo subculture, Psychopathic Records and Insane Clown Posse have repeatedly denounced violence within the fandom. Many of the crimes, including murders, have been labeled by Alex Abiss (former CEO of Psychopathic Records) as being just crazy individuals finding an excuse for their actions.[33]

I can't think of a more deserving crowd of mass casualties than a bunch of dumba** rap fans.

They may be fans of the Insane Clown Posse, but I'm not sure that qualifies as hip hop.

Massive lone nut syndrome, just like Islam.

Seiner did confirm another violent incident at the festival: A 49-year-old Georgia man stabbed a concertgoer at the campgrounds. At press time, the victim was listed in stable condition.
