Tila Tequila: “I Feel Like I Have Been Reborn”

Last month, Tila Tequila was in a bad, bad place. She had a brain aneurysm, and in an attempt to deal with the pain, took two bottles of prescription drugs. She overdosed and nearly died. Then she went to rehab!

Here’s the story about how she turned over a brand new leaf:

On the 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. I really thought I was going to die.”

On life after rehab: “Honestly, I feel like I have been reborn. I should have died and feel blessed to have another chance at life and I intend to grasp it. 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.”

On counseling: Tequila also participated in group and personal counseling sessions, which she says “was really helpful because I got to wipe the slate clean and could talk about a lot of things that I was embarrassed about before.” She adds: “I also got to hear other people talking about their issues and was able to just listen and offer my support to them, too. It really was a great experience for me and I came away from it feeling like a new person.”

On helping others: “I love talking to people and hopefully I can help them if they have problems. This whole experience has made me think about going back to school and taking psychiatry classes as I feel like I could really help people who have issues.”

On the rest of her life: “I would like to get married and have a family and move forward in a positive way. I feel like God was not ready to take me, and I have to make the most of this opportunity that I have been given,” she says. “It’s odd because what I went through was totally horrible, but I’m glad that I did because it has given me a new lease on life.”

Ok, as far as I can tell, there can only be a handful of reasons for this remarkably coherent, sort of heartwarming interview from good ol’ Tila here. One: it’s total bullshit. After all, this is a girl whose last name is Tequila, it wouldn’t be a total shock if she was just spouting all this off while sipping a margarita. Another option is that this is just a temporary change, and in a couple weeks we’ll get our old Tila back. The final reason for Tila Tequila’s new behavior is that she’s actually changed. Wouldn’t that be crazy, if we lived in a world where a girl like Tila Tequila can go through this horrific event and come out a changed woman who’s a valuable member of society?

Which one do you think it is?

  • Stop trashing her; the young woman just came back from her own grave, but by God mercy, she came back alive without being injure or criple. Do you enjoy attacking her because she was not white??? Or is it you are running out of stories to sell, so you have to focus on someone else??

    As Viethamese, that our homeland was savaged and bombed none stop dur

    • Is this a joke comment? Why would you leap straight to the race card? If she gets trashed it’s because she’s trashy. Trashy comes in every colour.

      • no one is perfect-including myself and the rest of this world; are you pure and perfect as you sounded to be? Those without sins cast the first stone. Well, Cindy Crawfor possed nude, so Denise Richardson, Rachelle -who was 19 when she married Rod Stewart; after Rachelle divorced him, she possed for playboy. Christian Argui…was she or is she still be trashy for her behavior.

        Madona was a nortourious for brining sex, religion, etc. So, what happened to Kimberly Kadasha? Have you watched her sex tape????? Yes, the family is full of beutiful young gals and matured women, however, they live in Beverly Hills, so is that make them less trashy???

        Oh, Paris Hilton also got scandal and famous for her sex tape; was she not trashy when those tapes came up.

        Bill Clint and his Whilte House knees high blow up is not considered to be white trashy???

        What about our dear CA governor??? He did movie, cheesy, grabbed woman chest and still got voted into the office After serving you terms, the news finally broke out. Now, many people came forth and reported on him prior to his winning position; but no one would dare to removing him until…he served 2 times. Those women he had babies, slept with, lap dance for him are perfect Virgin Mary to you?

        Give me a break, will youa? Be honest to look at yourself and among your friends, family, and love ones; how many are there who are trashy without you even know it.

        If you are going to bash and trash someone, the whole world not just Hollywood, wil have to be in categoried, organized to see how many stars each person earns to be the highest numbers of stars.

        THas anyone ever asked her, “Tila, what really happened to you at home ? Or everyone is so busy interviewing her and turned around and stabbed her in the back. I think that is so low for anyone whose intentions are just out there to get what they wanted; but someone else, has to pay the price. No one know that our fates were not meant for us to lost the battle, but we faced the next day anyway.

        Remember that our Homeland was savaged by the American Troop. We left everything behide to escaping Vietnam. By the time we got to the coastline of Malaysia, we thouht we were safe and got ourselves to a Promised with freedom and another chance to live life with no one to controling us

      • I just finished writing a very long and traumatic event of what hapened to us who escaping vietham. I got a little emotional, and my computer…crashed on me.

I will get back to you, so you can understand the pain, shame, guilt, heartbreak, anguish, devastations, despair, regret, denial, resentful, hatre, etc. Check back and I hope I can finish the story that I want to share with you,
