Tila Tequila met with the San Diego DA yesterday to discuss the chain of events that occurred between her and San Diego Charger Shawne Merriman over Labor Day weekend. Upon leaving, Tila’s arms were in plain view and appeared to be quite bruised. She said that she didn’t know if she’d forgive Merriman and “we’ll see” when asked about pressing charges. Here’s the thing: If Merriman did assault her, I don’t think Tila even gets a vote on whether or not charges will be pressed. You can see the video here.
I suspect that this case may fade away without incident. If a man assaulted me — I thought he choked her, but apparently he choked her biceps — and someone asked if I’d be pressing charges, my reply would be, “Oh. Hell. Yes.” In addition, Tila has done a ton of Tweeting about what happened (while constantly praising herself for taking the high road) and finished her numerous Tweets with one that read: “A real man is able to apologize. A real woman is able to forgive and accept the apology…….” Screen grabs of all of that can be seen in the photo gallery or you can just check out Tila’s Twitter.
I’d like to just reaffirm my stance on the topic of domestic violence as there have been some recent questions raised regarding my point of view. Blaming a victim is never okay. I am a firm believer in offering swift and unquestioning support to any victim who is in need. No woman or man should ever suffer at the hands of another. Coming forward, pressing charges is the way to break the cycle of abuse. If you or someone you know is in trouble, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233) or www.ndvh.org. Translators are available.
As far as Tila is concerned, if those injuries were caused by Shawne Merriman, this case should be a slam dunk.
Ummm, why is she not wearing a bra with that clearly see-through shirt? Now my eyes are a victim too! :(
At first glance you think ‘hot girl’ but then you look a Bit closer, and you see she has a really weird figure, and ugh its Tila Tequila (god, who made up that name?)
i really wish you would stop giving this bitch publicity and attention wendie. i know you hate her and all but there is other news out there. she is boring, and fake and i dont want to read about her anymore
Why are we even talking about her? Domestic violence is not acceptable, but that doesn’t mean that we have to talk about her. She’s a reality tv celebrity…and a terrible reality show at that. Please stop.
Jeej Tila Tequila, she’s so cute!
The thing that makes me tho most angry out of all of this is that made enough money from that stupid show that she can afford Chanel.
That’s what I thought too.
id rather hear about lohan than this waste of life
Such a sad attempt to gain publicity. Tila’s behavior is disgraceful irregardless of the facts. Her constant Twittering about this incident just proves her desperate attempt to garner attention out of an unfortunate situation. Real women who are actually abused do NOT behave like her! She’s lost any credibility I had for her!
A real woman forgives???? WTF is that nonsense?
right!!?? i’m pretty sure a real man just doesn’t hit his woman…..sounds to me like a cry for HIS attention but IDK
The San Diego D.A. just released the following statement:
“After a thorough review of the investigation into the Sept. 6, 2009 incident at the Poway home of Shawne Merriman, our office has determined there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed. The case is now closed.”
