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.

Rap, hip-hop, dumba** scream metal, whatever it is, it's indecipherable noise created by emotionally stunted oxygen thieves that have devolved to below sea cucumbers on the food chain. As another FReeper earlier said, they are just more living proof that our society is circling the bowl, headed for the sewer of history.

But what the hell...their makeup/masks will make them easy to identify WTSHTF.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Actually, in times of civil unrest it's filth like this who do well. They have no compunction about violence or theft, their cowardice makes them move in protective packs and since they have no one that they are willing to sacrifice for or protect, they have no emotional qualms to exploit.

It's those who have compunction, standards and vulnerable loved ones to protect who are at a disadvantage.

"...liked the sound of his raspy voice ..."

Sounds a lot like the background of "Hurricane Smith" ... not a very good singing voice, but it sort of grew on you if you let it ... (like mold) ... biggest "hits" were "Who was it" and "Oh, babe, what would you say?".

"English recording engineer and producer who worked with the Beatles; as a musician, used pseudonym "Hurricane" Smith on his self-titled album."
