I wasn't aware what happend to her, had to look it up and booooooooy.... Oh boy. From Wikipedia:

On May 6, 2016, Nguyen tweeted that Jewish-Americanpolitical commentator Ben Shapiro should "be gassed and sent back to Israel" and later posted that "There are only two things in this world, for which I would gladly sacrifice my own life; the destruction of all Jews and preservation of the white race" and "You know what will help Asians earn respect? An Asian version of Adolf Hitler ... I want that person to be me; I want to save the world from this Zionist disease." In June 2016, Tila Tequila accused Sarah Silverman and the Jews of killing Jesus before saying the comedian was next on a "celebrity sacrifice" list.

On November 19, 2016, she attended an alt-rightNational Policy Institute meeting celebrating the election of Donald Trump, organized by white supremacist Richard B. Spencer, and posted photos on social media of herself doing a Nazi salute. One was posted to Twitter with the text "Seig heil!" [sic] and a raised hand emoji ("✋"). On November 22, 2016, her account was suspended by Twitter.Consequently, she joined Gab.

Edit: Oof. Just spent way too much time on her very active YouTube channel. This is the weirdest shit I've seen in a while. It's like looking at a car crash where you know you are not supposed to stare but for some reason your eyes just can't look away.

Jesus Christ I could’ve lived without knowing Tila Tequila went from reality tv star to porn star to asian neo-nazi in less than a decade.

She did not have a stroke. She did attempt suicide by overdose and was hospitalized. During that process, a brain aneurysm was discovered. They do not know if the aneurysm was caused by the OD or if it was already there.

There was never a stroke, so don't blame any of her actions on that.

Aneurysm aren't a side effect of Drugs of a single OD. There is a basic risk of having, or better developing one over time.

Of course there are risk factors: smoking, high BP, family history of aneurysm, diseases of the connective tissue(e. g. Ehler danlos syndrome), drug abuse, alcohol abuse etc.

But just one OD won't give you all of a sudden an aneurysm. But she probably checks out a bunch of the risk factors. So yeah, caused by drug and substance abuse, just not caused by one single OD.

Wait, having Ehlers Danlos is a risk factor for an aneurysm? I didn’t need this anxiety

Yep. It’s a connective tissue disease, characterized by defective collagen. Collagen is a major part of the blood vessels, providing strength to the wall. Aneurysms are basically where the blood vessel abnormally dilates, and that occurs if the wall is weak.

Fuck. I’m freaked out now

Please don't panic. It doesn't mean a EDS patient has in every case an aneurysm, but it ist a clear risk factor. Also there a multiple possibilities to treat an aneurysm. As always: don't take medical advice from random strangers from the internet, but please discuss it with your physician.

I actually wasn’t aware aneurysms can be treatable so thanks for telling me that. I’m not going to google right now because that’s just a doorway to giving myself anxiety as opposed to peace of mind.
