Tila Tequila

The model from Vietnam basically created the whole idea of internet personality and is heavily responsible for the reality TV craze that followed. Her raunchy Myspace posts turned her into a #celebrity (long before hashtags were a thing), and eventually landed her TV gigs such as a dating show A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, where both girls and guys were competing for the sweet spot in the former Playboy Cyber Girl Of the Week’s heart.

Time magazine called Tequila the “queen of Myspace,” but social media fame was not enough for the scantily clad superstar. She released music (“Stripper Friends” and “I Fucked the DJ” to name a few), self-help book and several style and dating websites, but from 2013 dedicated her time to promoting anti-Semitism and sharing her fascination with Hitler. That pretty much ended her social media “reign,” since Twitter suspended her account (Facebook did too for a while).
