Wow. That’s all I can say after watching this video. I knew this whole thing between Tila Tequila and Shawne Merriman would get ugly, but this is just mind-blowing.
Quick backstory–this past September, MTV personality Tequila alleged that Merriman choked and physically restrained her as she tried to leave his residence. He claimed she was drunk, and was just trying to stop her from drinking and driving. Merriman was never charged by San Diego police. Tequila subsequently filed a lawsuit against Merriman just a few days ago, claiming, among other things, that Merriman has a bad temper and a drug problem, and that he humiliated her for being bisexual.
But this latest allegation from Tequila just out and out floored me. In a video from her Ustream, she claims Merriman routinely drugged and slept with minors, or as she referred to them, “little girls.”
Holy fucking hell.
Here’s the video…
I’m not sure how to take this–on the one hand, there’s a pretty good chance that Tila Tequila is making all this shit up to get back at Merriman, because really, there’s not too many things worse than statutory rape. That being said, if she is making all this up, it certainly won’t help her win her lawsuit, especially by putting those allegations against Merriman out there in a public forum. By saying these things in her Ustream, there’s absolutely zero possibility for her to claim she was misquoted or kidding, or anything like that.
While it seems that this is just another example of a woman scorned, there’s also the chance that Miss Tequila’s allegations are true. Sure, she’s dumb, but is she dumb enough to sabotage her own lawsuit against Merriman. Me, I’m going to wait and see what the facts are before passing judgment of Shawne Merriman, or Tila Tequila.
Guaranteed though–this is going to get much, much worse. For everybody. [PFT, Bob's Blitz, Image]
