Nicky Hilton Clears Up The Rumors, Says Casey's Dogs Still Alive

Nicky Hilton isn't usually one to address rumors, but she finally felt the need to speak out about Tila Tequila's claims that she had put Casey Johnson's dogs down.

Pointing to an online report that says both pups were taken for physicals at the vet and then released to Johnson's family, Nicky tweeted, "Hope this clears up the rumors..."

Tequila, Casey's fiancee, has been accusing Hilton of having had the dogs put to sleep because Johnson's wishes were to be buried with them. "Wanna know if the Dog is dead? Why don't u ask [Nicky] & the family. Trust me. They already killed the dog. Sad," Tila tweeted.

Tila's been known to tweet misinformation in the past. Soon after the death of Johnson, Tila tweeted her fiancee wasn't dead, but "in a coma," only to recount that statement minutes later.
