Monday, 07 September 2009

If you’re not up to date with Tila Tequila’s latest happenings here’s the latest rumors: her boyfriend, Shawne Merriman was arrested Sunday and accused of choking and restraining his girlfriend, Tila Tequila, as she was trying to leave Shawne’s home! However it seems Shawne was not trying to strangulate her, instead he says Tila Tequila was drunk, and he was only trying to protect her, before something bad would happen to her, FoxSports.com reports:

"On September 6, 2009 the San Diego Sheriff's Department responded to a citizen's complaint that was initiated by Tila Nguyen (aka Tila Tequila). I was taken into custody based upon that complaint. At the time, I was concerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided.

"We would all do our best to help a friend if we considered their actions to be detrimental to their personal safety. I in no way caused any harm to Ms. Nguyen, however, paramedics were called and she was examined but no injuries were reported. She was released and has since returned to Los Angeles, California.

"There have been no charges filed against me. I want to thank the San Diego Sheriff's Department for their professionalism. I will continue to cooperate fully with the Department, and I look forward to clearing my name regarding these false allegations. I want to put this behind me so I can continue to focus on a successful season for the San Diego Chargers."

Okay so Tila was drunk, Shawne got mad and thought to teach her a lesson… a lesson witch almost took her life, according to her saying that is!
