Tila Tequila Claims Attack At Gathering Of The Juggalos Festival

The reality starlet says she was pelted with rocks during her performance at the Insane Clown Posse-headlined event. By Mawuse Ziegbe Tila Tequila Photo: Getty Images Reality TV starlet Tila Tequila has claimed she was attacked by concertgoers at the 11th annual Gathering of the Juggalos in Cave-In-Rock, Illinois on Friday. ABC affiliate WSIL in Illinois reports that Hardin County Sheriff Tom Seiner said the former Internet model filed a complaint about fans’ violent behavior during her performance. Tequila, who once starred in the MTV reality show, “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila,” has since turned to rap and shared the bill with artists such as Lil’ Kim and Method Man. Seiner said Tequila insisted that fans pelted her with rocks and feces during her set. A video of Tequila’s performance posted on TMZ.com shows her working the mic flanked by a couple of beefy men — presumably bodyguards — who pull her out of the way as a concertgoer advances onstage. In the 12-second-long footage, the crowd lobs several objects but the extent of her injuries is unclear. Tequila later addressed the alleged incident on her Twitter page. “The people at Juggalos behavior was disgusting and I am filing a suit against Them now,” she wrote on Saturday. “Pretty soon the owners who run the Juggalos will be bankrupt. My attorney Alan is already on it. This is disgusting behavior from men.” The four-day festival is an annual event geared toward fans of the metal-rap group Insane Clown Posse, who are dubbed “Juggalos.” ICP headlined the fest but a diverse range of performers including Kottonmouth Kings, Naughty by Nature, Coolio, Tone Loc and Twiztid also hit the stage. 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.

Mel Gibson Had P.I. Grilling Witnesses in Oksana Grigorieva Case; Actor’s Ex Alleges More Abuse

Mel Gibson hired private investigators to visit key witnesses in an attempt to discredit former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva’s abuse claims, reports say. Radar Online says PIs visited at least two witnesses poised to provide evidence against Mel, who stands accused of battering Oksana on January 6. Oksana has told police, who are investigating Gibson, that he punched her twice in the face, leaving her with two broken teeth and a concussion. One of the witnesses visited by Mel’s private eyes was her dentist, Dr. Ross Sheldon, whose accounts of the injuries Oksana suffered have varied. “This calculated ploy explains the conflicting stories the dentist supposedly made about injuries Oksana suffered at the hands of Mel,” said a source. Despite his apparent conflicting stories, Dr. Sheldon says willing to go on record stating that Oksana did indeed suffer a major blow to her mouth. He’s got issues, but did Mel Gibson abuse ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva? Meanwhile, Mel’s alleged flurry of punches January 6 was not the first instance of domestic violence, his ex-lover has now claimed to authorities. Grigorieva says the rage-filled superstar first assaulted her in November 2009. Just a few weeks after she gave birth to their daughter Lucia. “Oksana said Mel got right up in her face during a confrontation and was screaming and berating her,” said a source familiar with the investigation. She told law enforcement Mel was so worked up, he was literally frothing at the mouth as he spewed hatred and even spat saliva in her face. It’s a vision we can easily picture after listening to the Mel Gibson rants – phone calls she recorded with the out-of-control actor February 18. “Oksana said Mel pushed her on the shoulder and butted her with his chest,” said the source. “Oksana claimed Mel pushed her a number of times.” The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department will turn over the case to the D.A.’s office, which will decide whether to file charges, in about two weeks. Thoughts?

Officials Suspicious of Oksana Grigorieva Claims Against Mel Gibson; Lawyer to Be Questioned

In an effort to separate truth from fiction, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department has contacted Oksana Grigorieva’s former lawyer to see if she said inconsistent or incriminating things during her custody mediation with Mel Gibson. Attorney Eric George will be asked about both Oksana’s brutality claims against Mel as well as the actor’s allegation that his ex is trying to extort him. George is allowed to and will discuss what occurred during the mediation. Private conversations with Oksana are protected by attorney-client privilege. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that investigators are particularly interested in what Oksana is reportedly claiming now, but failed to claim in May: She never mentioned, nor produced that alleged black eye photo She never expressed concern that Mel was a threat to baby Lucia She never said Mel threatened to kill her, her son, Lucia, or himself Mel is a deeply disturbed human – but do Oksana’s allegations against him add up, or does she have an ulterior motive? That’s what police are trying to sort out . Investigators also want to get to the bottom of texts Oksana allegedly sent Mel a few months ago – saying she taped his phone calls because he was “not taking care of her.” She claimed last week she did so because she feared for her life. Mel’s camp claims it has hard proof Oksana left evidence showing she was holding the Mel Gibson tapes over his head – the texts may be the key. George was the attorney who negotiated a $15 million custody and confidentiality settlement package for Oksana, which she later disavowed. The situation is so bizarre, it’s no wonder officials are having trouble sorting it out. Gibson’s rants paint a disturbing image, yet the deluge of additional “evidence” she claims – the abuse pics, that Mel hit his two sons – is highly questionable. Whose side are you on?
