Tila Tequila is Suing her Ex-Boyfriend

If you remember a couple months ago, which I'm sure you don't, NFL player Shawne Merriman allegedly did the world a favor and beat the crap out of his then girlfriend, Tila Tequila. Well, that didn't make her very happy so she's suing him now according to TMZ:

Tila claims Shawne grabbed her, shook her like a rag doll, threw he 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) 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.

Tila's suit -- for assault, battery, false imprisonment and emotional distress -- seeks unspecified damages.

Translation: Tila Tequila's fame is dwindling and she's running out of money to lead her lavish lifestyle, so she figures she'll sue her ex-boyfriend 2-3 months after the beating she took because he won't take her back despite her desperate begging. I should probably note I completely made up that translation based on the mentality that women love abusive boyfriends. Maybe I'm wrong, but probably not.
