In an interview airing Wednesday on Extra, controversial celebutante Tila Tequila reveals that she is prepared to fight for custody of her late fiancee’s adopted daughter. Socialite Casey Johnson was found dead in her West Hollywood mansion last week. The heiress to the multi-billion dollar Johnson & Johnson empire left behind a 3-year-old daughter, Ava Monroe.
Little Ava — whose godmother is hotel heiress Nicky Hilton — currently lives with Casey’s mother Sale and her husband, sportscaster Ahmad Rashad. However, Tila cites cryptic “dreams” which tell her that the current custody arrangement is not the one Casey would have wanted. The former star of MTV’s A Shot At Love has vowed to file papers to fulfill Casey’s “final wish” and adopt the child.
“She’s not resting in peace right now. She has come to me in my dreams,” Tila explains. “Her last wish was to have Ava, have me have Ava.”
