CARTERVILLE — 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.

I think it's pretty terrible that something like that could even happen. What's the deal anyway? They hate her because they think she's "slutty" - that doesn't even make good sense. I hope she's Ok. She's been through an awful lot lately. I really like Tila. She is so cute and friendly and fun. I hope all this doesn't get to her too bad.

      I don't know anything about this Tila person, but what the people there did to her was just plain wrong. If the authorities know who they were, they should be brought up on charges.

        just some roudy bikers a a hog jamboree and some music followers of metal music, all drunk of course, and they did get the ones that did it, my point is that the news station here waited many days afterwards to put it on the air, I seen it on line before it aired here.

          It was an Insane Clown Posse concert. What did she expect? An intelligent and respectful audience?

            "Reality" TV? What else did they expect to happen? It's a good thing that orange pig Snookie wasn't there, it could have been worse. People are sick and tired of these trailer trash "stars" the TV keeps dumping on the networks. Rocks and feces seem pretty mild for that tramp.

                    I was hoping to go the rest of my life without ever hearing another thing about this pathetic no-talent whore.
