Casey Johnson and Tila Tequlia: Relationship was a hoax

The drama just keeps on going for the socialite couple, Tila and Casey. Just days after the Johnson & Johnson heiress was laid to rest, the rumors about a fake engagement with Tila Tequila have started to brew. TMZ.com reports that Casey herself let it be known just weeks before her death that the engagement was nothing more than a publicity stunt.

Close friends of heiress and socialite Casey Johnson have come forward stating that Casey and Tila only met three days prior to their infamous engagement video. Was Tila in the dark about this stunt? The same friends confirm that Tila was well aware, actually sitting in the same room when Casey was telling them about her plan.

Tila is not willing to let the drama stop. She is now making a claim to be entitled to custody of Casey's adopted daughter. She seems to think that her 17 carat diamond engagement ring gives her some sort of parental rights to the little girl. Although she did not attend her former fiancee's funeral, Tila is still finding ways to insert herself into the lives of Casey's family and friends. She will not let go.

It seems that even Tila's own publicist is distancing herself from the ongoing scandal. Jessica Cohen has resigned as Tila's publicist. She states that certain matters must be handled outside of the media spotlight. Who will protect Tila from the attention of the media? No one yet, which seems to be just the way she wants it. She has not hidden from the paparazzi at all and has taken several opportunities to talk to anyone with a camera.
