As friends and family come to grips with the tragic death of Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson, a few who were close to the 30-year-old socialite are speaking out about what they say were their desperate attempts to save her.

In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Casey's friend Jasmine Lennard revealed what was going on behind closed doors during the last months of the heiress's life.

"Casey was a fragile, beautiful, witty, wonderful girl who was desperately looking for love," Lennard told RadarOnline.com. "Did I love her? Yes. I tried so hard to save her but I couldn't."

Lennard, who accused Johnson of stealing from her and eventually got her arrested for grand theft in November, says the beginning of the end started when the heiress met reality TV star Tila Tequila.

"Casey's family tried desperately to help her," she said. "There was a car ready 24 hours a day to take her to the best rehab facility in the country. When it came out that Casey had been arrested, she had nobody and was lost. Tila got a hold of her and said, 'hey, come out with me and we'll show them!' For her to die with this reputation, it's just not her. Tila is a sick, sick girl."

Lennard adds, "On one occasion she (Tila) called me and a male friend screaming, saying people were breaking into her home. When I arrived, she was naked with a kitchen knife screaming, but no one was there. Everyone who crosses her path suffers consequences."



NO ONE put drugs or alcohol in her mouth, she did it because she wanted to. Lennard's trash-talking is childish and she probably feels guilty about giving her tough love.

Why couldn't she have told her while alive, how much she meant to her, because her actions spoke otherwise. Regrets? Now trying to backpedal to save face while making money off of your friend's death?

Oh, so by trying to "save her" , you had her arrested and charged with grand theft? Someone with as many problems as you claim her to have isn't "helped" by being sent to prison. And now Tila Tequila is the bad guy? Try looking in the mirror honey.
