According to TMZ bad girl Tila Tequila was taken to the hospital early Sunday morning after being “choked and physically restrained” by Shawn Merriman of the San Diego Chargers.

Merriman is accused of battery and false imprisonment. Tila was transported to a local hospital while Merriman was taken into custody. His bail was set at $58,000.

I don’t think physical violence is the answer to anything. I think there’s better ways to handle a situation. I’m just wondering if Tila will be so “big” now.  I’m curious to see if her behavior changes. Twitter is blowing up right now. Some say “karma is a bitch” and others say “he doesnt deserve tila! tila can do better!”

TMZ UPDATES

UPDATE – So Merriman’s attorney says Tila was “extremely inebriated” and that Merriman tried to stop her from leaving the home because he didn’t feel it was safe for her to do so.

QUESTION: Tila has said on many occasions that she doesn’t drink (ever) so I am curious now .. what’s really going on? Has Tila been lying all this time OR did Shawne not do his homework on Tila and didn’t think people would notice …

UPDATE: According to a source Tila was drinking and in fact it’s been said that they believe she was on Cocaine. Now whether that is true or not is to be determined but this is the second time I’ve received this information. I’ve also been told that there was in fact NO choking involved but that Shawne did try to stop Tila from leaving so she would not hurt herself or anyone else.
