Tila Tequila Being Sued by Shawne Merriman

Nutty internet sensation and reality star Tila Tequila is being sued by her former boyfriend, San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman.

Merriman claims that Tequila was attempting to ruin his career when she made allegations that he physically abused her via her website in November, and that she illegally used his his “Lights Out” trademark and images of him.

Tila also stated that Merriman uses illegal drugs and sleeps with minors after forcing them to take drugs.

In the lawsuit, Merriman claims that Tequila admitted to making false claims against him. The District Attorney’s Office refused to file charges based on Tequila’s original claims, stating that there was not enough evidence to prove a crime had been committed.

The NFL linebacker is seeking an injunction from trademark and copyright infringements, and statutory damages of up to two million dollars.
