Tila Tequila Suing San Diego Chargers Player Shawne Merriman

Tila Tequila started off as a MySpace sensation and then made her way to her own TV show called A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila. Through her MySpace friends and her TV show fans, Tequila gained a large following which ended up becoming her Twitter followers too.

Tequila is suing Merriman for assault, battery, and false imprisonment during a fight at Merriman’s house. Tequila argues that Merriman argued with her over his drug use and disrespect towards women. Merriman claims that Tequila was drunk and he was trying to prevent her from driving. Tequila said that Merriman shook her like a “rag doll,” choked her, and threw her onto a couch.

Tequila said that being thrown against the couch caused damage to her neck, arms, and back. After the jump is a picture that Tequila is using in the court case that displays bruises to her body.
