EXCLUSIVE: Tila Tequila Cries Over Casey Burial: "I Didn't Get To Say Goodbye"
Posted on Jan 11, 2010 @ 12:33PM
Tila Tequila is crying over not having been allowed to attend the burial of Casey Johnson, and is lashing out at her family.
Casey's family wanted a very small private funeral but Tila, who was engaged to the Johnson & Johnson heiress, wasn't invited.
Tila exclusively told RadarOnline.com on Sunday: "Yes her funeral is today and I can't even see my wife for the last time to say goodbye to her and see her. It's breaking my heart... I'm crying so bad, they are horrible, mean people. Sure, one day I can visit her grave but I will never ever get to see her face again to say goodbye and kiss her before they bury her. I can't talk about this now it's making me cry."
On Wednesday, reps for the family said Casey would be buried later in the week, but declined to provide the location or any other details. Family friends told RadarOnline.com that Casey was buried Sunday.
Casey was found dead in her rented Los Angeles home January 4, and was buried in a small, private ceremony in New Jersey.

Johnson, who recently became engaged to Tila, had suffered from diabetes since she was a child and had battled drug problems in the past, though no cause of death has been determined.
Some reports quoted an unnamed family spokesperson denying the burial on Sunday, but reps for the family refused to comment about the burial to RadarOnline.com, and did not want to be named.
Casey was diabetic and her family asked that anyone wishing to honor her make donations in her memory to the Casey Johnson Memorial at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

listen ... in defense of the family they knew each other FOUR weeks...engaged after four hours. Its nuts. Yes, it would be nice if the fam showed some largesse and invited her but apparently it is immediate family.

it's really sad. a person passed away and the family and friends are at war. tila's casey johnson's fiance and deserves to attend the funeral and says the last goodbye. that would what casey want. can't people let the deceased rest in peace.

I'm sorry, Tila might be a drama queen but she DID deserve to see her girlfriend one last time to say goodbye, even if it was a quiet 15 minutes away from the family. How horrible to never see someone again. So sad!

no matter our oppinions on tilla casey saw something in her

yes, Tila was an enabler, Casey was a substance abuser, and under the influence. She was not in her right frame of mind. Tila loves only herself. She barely knew her for a month, Tila is riding this for all it is worth.

Yes, Tila is undoubtedly riding it for all it's worth but is it also possible that she cared for/loved Casey as well? And misses her? I think that things aren't always black and white and this is one such case.

everyone seems to forget that tila was someone casey cared about and that is what is important..it was a day for casey not just her family and fair weather friends she hadn't communicated with in prob years.

Yes. And if the family didn't want to see Tila, why not just give her a few minutes on her own with Casey in order to say her final goodbye? I just can't imagine the grief of not having that closure.
