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 *****.
