CARTERVILLE, Ill. – A sheriff says reality TV actress Tila Tequila complained that audience members pelted her with stones and feces during an outdoor music festival in southern Illinois.

Hardin County Sheriff Tom Seiner told a Carterville TV station it happened early Saturday at the Gathering of the Juggalos. That's a weekend festival based around the band Insane Clown Posse and other groups from Psychopathic Records.

Seiner told WSIL-TV that Tequila, whose real name is Tila Nguyen, complained that she was injured when audience members threw rocks at her. Seiner said Nguyen also complained that feces were thrown.

The sheriff also said one man stabbed another, though not fatally.

Sheriff's Department dispatcher Jimmy Barnard said early Sunday that he had no other details.

1. silly juggalos. I always suspected some wouldn't know what to do if they saw a pretty woman.

2. does the story really ring true?

She does have quite the history of histrionics and exploitation of the situation as I recall.... If true, I regret my skepticism... :shrug:

3. I have no idea who any of these people are.

I guess I'm over the hill. Does this have something to do with snucky?

5. Juggalos are basically human vermin from the midwest

It wouldn't have taken more than a quick search of YouTube to figure out this was a bad idea, or even a setup... although I couldn't think of a more deserving target.

8. thanks for visual aids

look like a bunch of posers. Pretty much when your costume depends on a certain brand of soda, your a wanker. That SNL clip is hilarious.

7. Creatures from an early John Waters film.

All gathered together in a mob. Run away! Run away!

4. WTF!?!?!?

What was she even doing there? I have talked with people who have acted as security to these "Gatherings" and the stories I've heard...

I'm sure she thought it would be an easy payday. No sympathy here, a lot worse could have happened.
