Good News! Tila Tequila Isn’t Going to Kill Herself!
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009I don’t know how long it’s going to take the public to get this, but nothing that Tila Tequila tweets should ever be taken seriously. I guess you cannot ignore suicide threats no matter who they come from. Last night, Tila threatened to take her own life yet followed up today with an explanation.
Last night’s Tweets:
“I am going to kill myself cuz I don’t want to life in a world where its filled with IGNORANCE! which majority of you ARE! & racists!”
“As dark descends into my world…I drown at night, without a fight. One last breath before I go. Dont mourn me world, I will die slow.”
A partial of today’s retraction which is too long to post in its entirety here:
I just wanted to take a moment to address all of my fans and the people I care about regarding my recent public suicidal meltdown online. I don’t usually issue statements to address rumors, but since Suicide is a very serious subject, I felt that it is my responsibility to come clean and speak out about it, as emotional and personal as it is. I feel like it is still my duty to take responsibility for my own actions. Sometimes I tend to forget that I am a public figure and with that, comes a lot of responsibility and suicide is not the type of message I want to send out. I always want to make sure that I am sending out positive messages so I felt that it’s important for me to speak up this time. If I continue to ignore this and pretend as though it never happened, then I failed myself and my fans. This is not one of my proudest moments to be sitting here and explaining to the world something so emotional and personal, but I need to stop being selfish. This is not one of my proudest moments to share with the world, but maybe it can help save someone else’s life who ends up reading this.
You can read the whole explanation here, but basically Tila claims to be suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome after last month’s brush with domestic violence.
Tila obviously needs some help and I hope she gets it. Suicide is no laughing matter, but now she’s become the Little Ho Who Cried Wolf with all her past tweets claiming that her house was broken into, she was pregnant, she had to go to the emergency room because of hypoglycemia. Therefore, when she’s faced with real life challenges such as physical abuse or suicidal thoughts, her credibility is shot at a time when she really needs assistance. Incidentally, I do believe that all her prior false claims are a cry for help.
So, I’d like to put this out to Tila or anyone else reading that thinks they may be in trouble: Talk. Talk to a friend, family member, teacher, clergy. Call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433). Just because you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
