Last year Tila Tequila was
notoriously removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house after it was
revealed that she is a Nazi sympathiser who claimed to be Adolf Hitler
reincarnated.
Now Tila has been forced to turn to online crowdfunding to pay for her and her daughter Izzy’s rent.
The
reality star took to gofundme when her rent was put up, asking fans to
donate so that she could afford to buy furniture for her new place -
amazingly, after just six days Tila passed her goal of $2,500, earning
$3,074 from her loyal fans.
Writing on the page, Tila explained:
“The reason why I am creating this GoFundMe campaign is because they
have raised the rent at my old home to $4,500 a month, and being a
single mother without any support from the father, it can sometimes be
very tough taking care of 2 people with only a 1 person income.
"So
right now I need to raise some money so that I can move into my new
home and get it furnished for my daughter and I. The last apt I was at
came fully furnished and that’s why it was so expensive, but I’d rather
save money for my daughter than keep wasting money each month like that.
"So I basically need to buy all the furniture and beddings from
scratch to start over if we are to move. It is going to cost a lot to
start off, and that is why I am asking you all for your help!”
Despite
many calling her out for asking her fans for money, Tila insisted that
she was not embarrassed to be doing what is right for her daughter,
adding: “I have zero pride or ego when it comes to taking care of my
daughter because this is what real good mother’s do.
"We
sacrifice for our children and would take care of them by any means
possible. Even if that means being a celebrity, and creating a GoFundMe
campaign to get hep from my fans.
"Most
people would be so ashamed or embarrassed, but I’m not. This is for my
daughter so we won’t be homeless and she won’t starve.”
After
discovering that she had surpassed her goal, Tila vowed to call every
person who donated once she returned from filming a show in Las Vegas,
writing: “Oh my God! I cannot believe we actually not only reached our
goal, but have actually gone PAST it! This is truly a humbling
experience.”
Something tells us that Tila’s old Big Brother housemates probably weren’t among the ones to donate…
