Tila Tequila Sues Ex: The Brute Bruised Me

Posted Nov 17th 2009 1:03AM by TMZ Staff

Tila Tequila is letting her bruises do the talking in a lawsuit she just filed against her ex, NFL star Shawne Merriman.

Tila Tequila


Tila claims Shawne grabbed her, shook her like a rag doll, threw her down and choked her during an argument last September. Tila says the San Diego Chargers linebacker had a bad temper combined with a drug problem, and that he humiliated her because of her bi-sexuality.

In the lawsuit, Tila's lawyer, Cyrus Nownejad, included a photo gallery (above) showing the disparity in height and weight (Tila -- 4'11", 93 lbs. Shawne -- 6'4", 280 lbs). The photos also show bruising on her arms, which Tila says is courtesy of Shawne.

The San Diego County D.A. declined to file criminal charges.

Tila's suit -- for assault, battery, false imprisonment and emotional distress -- seeks unspecified damages.

9. Those "bruises" don't even look real. Too evenly bluish-purple and mottled like they were dabbed on with cottonballs, no hand or fingerprints like you'd expect on arms.

11. While I feel sorry for her for being injured. I also feel that the lifestyle she appears to lead is bound to lead to unpleasant situations. Did she think that life is just a big party and you and whore around without ever facing any consequences? There are always consequences.

13. He only grabbed because she was drunk and wanted to drive, so he tried to stop her.
