Shawne Merriman of the San Diego Chargers, who made the stupid mistake of dating Tila Tequila, is now suing her for the lies she allegedly told back in September. Something about choking her or beating her up. I don't know. Anyway, TMZ reports:
In the lawsuit, filed in US District Court, Merriman claims Tila posted all sorts of lies on her website, including stories that Merriman "choked and attacked" her, "sleeps with minors and forces them to take drugs," and that he manufactures drugs in his home.
Shawne also claims in the docs that Tila admitted her lying scheme, at one time stating, "yes that is why I did a 'spin' now ... cuz now everyone is LOVINGGGG me."
Merriman isn't suing for defamation though -- instead he's suing for intentional interference with contract and unfair competition as well as trademark infringement ... because Merriman claims she used his famous "Lights Out" logo on her website. Merriman also claims Tila's accusations screwed up a deal to produce a line of T-shirts for Walmart.

Unfortunately, all this is going to do is keep Tila around even longer. There's always the chance that she'll get hit by a bus or that she's actually an illegal immigrant ready to be deported. I won't hold my breath for either of those things to happen, but I can't say I won't pray a little bit about it.
