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.

Here is Tila Tequila showing off her bruises to the paparazzi as she left a meeting with San Diego District Attorney, or did she?.
If you have no idea where these bruises came from don’t worry, I had no idea that she was accusing Shawne Merriman of the San Diego Chargers of beating her up until I came across these pictures.
It all went down last Saturday when police arrested Merriman because of accusations that he had beaten up, choked and held Tila against her will.
However the NFL player says he was just being a gentleman by not letting Tila (real name Tila Nguyen) drive home because she was drunk but she calls bullshit on this and says she is allergic to alcohol (that must suck).
Anyway there has been some mystery as to whether or not Tila actually met with the DA, she announced on her Twitter that she was scheduled to meet them today, TMZ said she met them yesterday but a spokesman for the DA’s office, Paul Levikow, said none of this was true.
As of yet the DA’s office are still reviewing the case and haven’t decided whether what will happen between Tila Tquila and Shawne Merriman.
