Tila Tequila is definitely not letting this one go and is now suing San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman in a filing alleging domestic violence.
Attorney Cyrus Nownejad told The Associated Press that Tequila is seeking $1.5 million in damages.
Merriman was arrested on Sept. 6 after Tequila signed a citizen’s arrest warrant accusing him of battery and false imprisonment at his suburban home. District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis declined to charge Merriman.
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-via TMZ) 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.
Merriman told the AP in an e-mail that he hadn’t seen a copy of the suit. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday.

Wonder how much it cost Tila to get those bruises painted on. She must need money snice her TV show bombed. People weren’t interested in watching a midget Asian trying to find bisexual love in Hollywood. Skank.
If a psychotic, self-obsessed freak like Tila Tequila was chasing me around for my celebrity status–no, I’m not a celebrity–I’d grab her by the arms, too, screaming: “Get the **** off my coat tails, whore!” This Asian midget is so desperate to ascend from that “Almost Somebody” status to “Stalker Status,” she’s willing to do just about anything.
He Should have KILA Tequilla….
