E Online: Vietnamese American Model Bounced from Reality Show for Views on Nazis

Tila Tequila

Vietnamese American model Tila Tequila has been kicked off the British reality show Celebrity Big Brother for views she expressed more than a year ago about Hitler and Nazis, reports E Online.

Tequila wrote a blog post back in December 2013 entitled Why I Sympathize with Hitler Pt 1, True History Unveiled. .

Producers of Celebrity Big Brother apparently were not aware of that post, but when viewers protested her casting on day 2 of filming, they quickly fired her from the program.

“Unfortunately, Channel 5 and [production company] Endemol did not know about the views and attitudes Tila had expressed in social media postings prior to her involvement in Celebrity Big Brother,” the show said in a statement. “When they were brought to our attention, she was called to the Diary Room for a discussion with producers and was subsequently removed from the house,”

Tequila whose real name is Thien Thanh Thi Nguyen went on Twitter to apologize.

The apology is hard to read, so I’ll excerpt some of it here. Tequila called her post a “terrible mistake” and blamed it on severe depression and drug addiction during a time when she said she attempted suicide.

“I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible, reckless and selfish actions and I hope that everyone can forgive me for the pain that I may have caused,” Tequila continued. ” I want to be a good role model for my daughter because I don’t want her to go through what I had to endure. I hope that I will be given a second chance at life to make things right again.”

You can read about what she said in her original blog post that caused the controversy on E Online.
