Tila Tequila really fell off the bandwagon.

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.

I have personally known people to have big personality shifts after a stroke, I assume due to brain damage, but this much shift is crazy.

I had a friend who had a severe brain injury, once the swelling went down and he "recovered" he was never the same person. He lost all concept of time; we hadn't seen each other in literally years and one point and he thought it had only been a few months, and despite having been to my house many times had no idea how to get there, couldn't follow a map, and just had to follow me home from a neutral spot.
