No surprise here:

Merriman's accuser plans civil suit

Posted by Mike Florio on September 11, 2009 9:42 PM ET

To no surprise, the woman who accused Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman of false imprisonment and battery isn't happy with the decision not to prosecute him.

And, to no surprise, Tila Tequila Nguyen will pursue the day in court that prosecutors have declined to provide her, by filing a civil lawsuit against Merriman.

The disclosure comes at the conclusion of the following statement issued by Nguyen's representative to TMZ.com:

"Tila Tequila is the victim of a violent crime. The San Diego District attorney's decision not to press charges against Shawne Merriman for the battering of Tila Tequila demonstrates an unconscionable negligence in the discharging of their public duties. We strongly feel that justice has not been served in this matter.

"Obviously, The San Diego Charger's NFL franchise brings millions of dollars in revenue to the city of San Diego, and it seems clear that other interests are being served by the DA's office than the upholding of the law. A young woman was violently beaten and choked, and the physical evidence is both overwhelming and disturbing. Tila's account of the events has remained consistent from the beginning, while Merriman's story has changed repeatedly.

"Just because the DA has made this reckless decision doesn't mean that justice will not be served in this case. No one is above the law. Tila Tequila will immediately begin pursuing civil charges against Mr. Merriman and she will have her day in court."

Ok, a couple of things:

To break news of this pending legal action and serious allegations of assault and false imprisonment, she goes to...TMZ? Sure, I get it. Because when I think about big breaking legal news, I think about the site that got famous for showing Paris Hilton a video of people bashing her and filming her tearful reaction. Yeah, and I think I'll go check Perez Hilton to see his analysis of the Dow Jones.

Second, she went by "Tila Tequila" in this statement? It might just be me, but an assault case seems like one of those instances where it's prudent to drop the ole' stage name.

To me, this just seems like another calculated move by someone who has already proven herself to be a master of self-promotion.

The point still remains though. A 250 pound linebacker assaults you you are going to have marks.

I agree, just not about the steroid talk.

He paid his price, and has been clean since. Not saying that I am a huge fan of his, but I would say that about any other player as well.

Actually Tila revealed pics wt bruises on her arms on tmz.com. She had a lil one on her neck but her arms looked pretty bad. They look real but who knows. Tila is going nuts on twitter lol. Now she's going after Chris Brown on twitter.

Doctor found no revealing marks of an assault. I'll trust the doctor before some attention money grubbing *****.

    • Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando. 
    • As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.
    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
