tila Illinois, Aug 16 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Tila Tequila got lots of cuts and bruises on her face when concert-goers at the “Gathering of the Juggalos” in Hardin County, Illinois threw feces and rocks at the reality star on Saturday morning.

Tequila said in an interview with TMZ that she received thrown bottles, rocks, and firecrackers from some guys in the audience as soon as she appeared on stage. She said her hair almost got burnt from the firecracker attacks. She said that, “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.”

Tequila filed a complaint that she had been attacked and wounded by attendants of the concert according to Tom Seiner, who is the sheriff for Hardin County. He however refused to make more details public saying the singer who appeared on MTV’s “A Shot at Love” had a right to privacy.

The musician apparently had to ditch her performance and run for her dear life according to another performer at the concert. The performer also claimed that Tequila made the audience angry and made things worse when she went topless.

Tequila confirmed the incident on the popular social networking and micro blogging site Twitter and said her attorney was getting ready to file a lawsuit against the organizers of the party for the assault she suffered.
