Tequila suffered a brain aneurysm in the middle of the night, according to RadarOnline.com. This caused her to "to think irrationally," the insider claimed.
The source also explained that she was in a great deal of pain and that was the reason she consumed "two bottles of unspecified heavy prescription drugs."

That is when a "friend came over after getting a strange text from her and found her convulsing on the bed. He called an ambulance and she was taken to the hospital."
Tequila had been in intensive care for several days and could have "permanent brain damage," according to the source.
"It's sad to think she may have some permanent brain damage," the source said. "She still can't fully speak properly."
Tequila is known for hosting a reality show on MTV. In May 2007, she began filming the reality show which first aired on MTV in October 2007. The show was called "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila."
The show created controversy when it was revealed that both straight and homosexual contestants were competing for the affection of Tequila. The show ran for only two seasons before it was canceled.
