A lawyer for Merriman denied all charges and says Tila was "extremely inebriated" and that Merriman tried to stop her from leaving the home because he didn't feel it was safe for her to do so. ---------------- Extremely good alibi. I hope this works for him. Lord knows we don't need another one to go down.Was really shocking to hear this yesterday.
Tila Tequila don't you know that it's a well known secret that as much as a man loves a ho he just as passionately HATES YO *** TO and as soon as you get beside yourself or he starts running your long *** RESUME through his mind YO *** IS BOUND TO COME UP CHOKED AT SOME POINT. SORRY, BUT IT'S *** NEAR IMPOSSIBLE FOR A TRAMP TO DEMAND ANY RESPECT! 4u2.com
THAT DUDE LOOKS MEAN AND CRAZY..BUT TILA IS SUPPOSED TO BE BI-POLAR..SO SHE COULD HAVE BEEN TRYING TO LEAVE WHEN SHE WAS IN ONE OF HER FITS...AT ANY RATE, HER SEXUAL LIFESTYLE IS NOT HELPING HER MENTAL ILLNESS...AND HER BOYFRIEND DOES STERIODS..THEY BOTH NEED TO CHECK INTO REHAB GET THE HELL AWAY FROM EACH AND NOT DATE FOR A LONG TIME!!
LMAO Black women need to teach their sons about ladies and decent women. Maybe they should try being one in front of their kids because not only is this strange and bizarre its just starting to be weird. Okay black athletes are slow or something. They need Therapy he is seriously dating Tila Tequila? MTO LMAO All the women has to do is not be black. Black men need to get it together.
@pr3tty_black, honesty01, KayJay508-I co-sign and endorse your comments....I'm sick of seeing trashy, tasteless, women who lead "hoe-***" lifestyles get beat the f*ck up and stomped out by a n*ggas timbs then run to the media and spots like twitter and attempt to get sympathy...get the f*ck outta here.
Y'all commenters trip me out sayin how "tila's a hoe she deserved it"...so because you take nude pictures that makes you a hoe...well honey if that's the case every broad with a digital cam and a myspace page is a hoe...but Chris Brown is "such a horrible person...poor poor Rihanna"...apparently Tila didnt put her hands on this mofo like Rih-Rih did Chris....what's up with the double standard????....this ish is makin my head hurt and *** me off at the same time
I dont believe this. Merriman aint choke that bych he shouldve that lying bych . Everyone who seen her *** reality show knows she's a alcoholic. This bych career was dying off and she needed to do sumn to get in the spotlight again, thats all that is. Its a publicity stunt, it was an easy way for her to get noticed. Especially after the chris brown and Rhiana incident. The doctors reported this bych aint even have no injuries when they examined her.
FYI She's a gotdamn liar too! According to T.M.Z's UPDATE: Tila has Twittered a response to Shawne's allegations saying there's no way she could have been drunk because, "I am allergic to alcohol. It has been publicly known for years. That is how I got the name Tila "Tequila" cuz the irony. I cant drink" Check it for yourself..
WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT SHES FAMOUS FOR. SHES STILL A WOMAN. SHE *** BE HAVING A MAN PUT HIS HANDS ON HER PERIOD. END OF STORY. I LIKE TILA. THE ONLY REASON MOST OF YALL DONT LIKE HER IS BECAUSE SHES POPULAR FOR BEING HERSELF AND PLUS THE FACT THAT BLACK MEN LIKE HER. SHES ALSO A SINGER SO STOP WITH THE WHOLE WHAT IS SHE POPULAR FOR. SHES A SINGER, MODEL, AND REALITY STAR << ALL 3 IN ONE
Can't say I didn't see this coming. I just didn't see it coming from a roided up football player. *** homey, show some restraint. I know that attention craved lunatic definitely deserved it, but you're probably 6'4" and almost 300ibs more or less. Compared to her 5'2"(if that) frame, she's practically a child. Fraid you're career may be in the dumpster if this gets blown out of proportion. You're am overgrown Negro who doubles as a roided up athlete, I'd say you're *** is grass, and I'm not talking turf either.
@msthang
ACTUALLY IF YOU READ POSTS BY OTHERS ON THIS THREAD PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT HIM BEING A BLACK MAN AND HER NOT BEING A BLACK WOMAN. THATS THE MAIN PROBLEM YAH HAVE.WHO CARES IF SHES A HO THATS HER BUSINESS. ITS THE FACT THAT SHES A WOMAN AND YAH THINK ITS OK FOR HER TO GET HIT BECAUSE YOU THINK SHES A HO AND BECAUSE SHE ISNT BLACK THATS THE ISSUE.
UHLJJANGKITTY-Personally I could care about the *** dating a black man. I respect people's choice to interracial date. That's NOT my personal issue. My issue is if she thinks that men are going to treat her like a classy woman instead of the slutatious hoe-like image that she's projected on these weak-*** reality shows she's sadly mistaken. If you act like a lady then you get treated like a lady...if you act like a drunken,side- winding hoe you get treated as such.
@UHLJJANGKITTY-because she seemed full of potential when she had her career. I still remember when she was on the movie with Tia & Tamera...she's a lost soul who fell from grace...hard. Tila is just a hoe. Maia didn't come out licking and sucking on everybody on reality T.V. She gets no sympathy from me...

Thats a good thing that tila didnt get seriously injured,Shawne Merriman could had killed her.He is one big mean looking cat! I hope that Tila be careful with messing around with some of those men. The NFL may punish Shawne big time,especially the fact that he is a black man.Its not going to be pretty.
say it ain't so Shawne!? I thought you were smarter than to fall for a 15-minutes of fame "Fake" celebrity! are you serious? you just got caught for using steroids, now your playing around with an attention freak? WOW!? I really thought you were smarter than that! but keep playing around with that crazy chick, you won't be doing the "steroid stomp" on the football field anymore because of her. You shoulda stayed wit Gloria Velez...idiot
From the Associated Press-
SAN DIEGO- Star outside linebacker Shawne Merriman is practicing with the San Diego Chargers just more than 24 hours after being released from jail.
Merriman was arrested early Sunday and accused of choking and restraining reality TV personality Tila Tequila as she tried to leave his suburban home. He spent about 2 1/2 hours in the downtown jail.
Merriman says the allegations are false. Merriman said in a statement late Sunday that he was worried for Tequila's safety because she appeared to be intoxicated and he didn't want her to drive. Tequila signed a citizen's arrest warrant.
He also says paramedics who were called to his home in Poway, north of San Diego, reported no injuries to Tequila, best known for "A *** at Love with Tila Tequila," which ran for two seasons on MTV.
San Diego County Sheriff's Lt. Gary Steadman says Merriman was arrested early Sunday when the 27-year-old Tequila signed a citizen's arrest warrant charging him with battery and false imprisonment. Both are felonies.
This is what someone named "Karyn" posted on the Yahoo! sports page yesterday in reference to this fiasco, and I quote her verbatim: "THAT'S WHAT HIS STUPID *** GETS. YOU HAND LIFE TO THESE ATHLETES ON A PLATINUM PLATTER AND THEY STILL MANAGE TO F'UCK IT UP. WHY CAN'T THESE BLACK MEN EVER DATE RESPECTABLE BLACK WOMEN? NOOOO, THEY HAVE TO "UPGRADE" TO THE EXOTIC BRAZILIAN, PORTUGUESE, FRENCH INDIAN, 10%POODLE/5%***. BROTHERS PLEASE." Thanks Karyn, couldn't have said it any better myself.
Wow, is that his story??So since she was drunk he would not let her leave so he choked her out???
Lol, Black NFL and NBA players are DUMB, especially NFL players. The NFL should set there standards higher. Lets get this staright, they come from the hood, say they're to good for black women. Go get another race women who's been sticking it to them with abuse cases. rape cases and Alimony cases for YEARS..WHEN WILL THEY DUMB @$$ learn? They should make their standards higher ti get a college scholarship because clearly they are too low. It's like their brain consist of scrambled eggs.
She won't go away because they got stupid NFL players who wife up *** and porn stars, thinking they're real women. I'm sorry but I don't feel sorry for him, maybe he should get a women with some class and stop trying to take the easy way out and he won't have to worry about a grown women supposedly getting wasted to where she can't supposedly drive home.
@creamgirl1 That was extremely closed minded so I have to disagree on that. Women in general are either gold diggers or independent. Don't categorize gold diggers to just non black women. Lazy, good for nothing women come in all shades of the rainbow. And whether this rumor or true or false violence should not be tolerated.
