Tila Tequila has created a Fuhrer furor.
The shock-savoring former MTV star posted – and later deleted – a Facebook photo of herself wearing a swastika arm band, Nazi uniform hat and silver stripper getup while standing in front of Aushcwitz.
In a related post Monday evening, the ex-MySpace queen described Hitler as a “special and sweet kid” who was rejected by art schools and later “bullied.”
She drew comparisons to her own life, saying she felt “mocked” and “rejected” when she tried to convert to Judaism in recent years.
In yet another post Monday, Tequila, 32, urged her readers to put aside their hatred.
“I never said I hated anyone, but just because I feel sympathy, compassion, and forgiveness for others such as Hitler means I am now a monster? All for trying to open your eyes to the truth that Hitler was NOT as bad as he was painted out to be?” she asked.
Attempts to reach Tequila directly Tuesday were not immediately successful.
Former fans ripped the previously rehabbed model, whose real name is Tila Nguyen, in Facebook comments.
“Seriously what is wrong with you?” asked New Yorker Hannah Vilinsky. “I used to enjoy your reality TV shows on VH1, I am Jewish and a product of Holocaust survivors. How can you sympathize with Hitler? He killed 6 million Jews and millions of others. How can you sympathize with someone who killed innocent people based on ethnicity, sexual orientation and/or disabilities?”
Vilinsky scolded Tequila for using her fame to misinform others.
“It scares me that you have 1.9 million likes on your Facebook page and post pictures that promote hatred and genocide. Bad PR to say the least,” she wrote.

Tila Tequila first gained notoriety as a MySpace ‘celebrity.’
The “Shot at Love” alum also rambled that “Fast & Furious” star Paul Walker’s recent fatal car crash was a “ritualistic murder” and that other unidentified forces murdered her “wife” Casey Johnson, the late daughter of New York Jets owner Woody Johnson.Former fans ripped the previously rehabbed model, whose real name is Tila Nguyen, in Facebook comments.
