Tila Tequila wore a demure white blouse while showing her bruised arms to the paparazzi outside an Beverly Hills hotel yesterday. Tila’s bruises do back up her side of the story that San Diego Charges quarterback Shawne Merriman forcibly restrained her at his house over the weekend, a claim he denies. If you compare Shawne’s very measured statement with the kind of hysterical way that Tila has continued to Tweet about her claims, she sounds less than believable. Tila tweeted yesterday that she was meeting with the District Attorney in LA to give her side of the story, but has since deleted that tweet.

The DA’s office said that it has no plans to meet with Tila, though, and they’re still deciding whether to pursue a case against Merriman:

The San Diego district attorney’s office denied Tila Tequila’s claim that she was meeting with investigators on Friday about Shawne Merriman’s arrest last weekend.

Paul Levikow, a spokesman for the San Diego County DA, told ESPN that the meeting Tequila announced on her Twitter page was never scheduled. TMZ had reported Tequila met investigators on Thursday.

Tequila, an MTV personality, was with Merriman last Saturday night when police arrested him on suspicion of battery and false imprisonment.

Merriman, the Chargers’ three-time Pro Bowl linebacker, denied any wrongdoing and said he was trying to help an intoxicated Tequila get home safely. Tequila has said she wasn’t drunk, but has made several statements about the case on her Twitter page that would later disappear.

Her announcement of the meeting with the DA also disappeared.

Tila could be telling the truth, and her bruises do support her claims. She’s not helping by continuing to Tweet about it incessantly, by posting links to incriminating stories about Merriman, and by working to make #Chargers Suck a trending topic on Twitter. She just seems like she’s trying too hard. Maybe that’s how she is, though. It’s just hard to believe her when she lies about other things and tries so hard to convince people. She said she didn’t drink because she was allergic to alcohol, but the cops said on the record that she was drunk during the incident. She claims to have had a meeting with the DA, but the DA says that nothing was scheduled. Now she shows off some supposed bruises to the paparazzi. Something is fishy here.
