Tila Tequila Explains Naked Late Night Meltdown

Friday – November 20, 2009 – 8:57am

Tila Tequila had a naked, ranting meltdown Wednesday night on her UStream channel, where she danced around and complained about ex-boyfriend, NFL star Shawne Merriman, whom she says beat her.

At one point, she rambled: "People call me an attention whore ... or whatever ... but excuse me, I'm a grown a-- woman and I'm confident in myself ... I think a woman's body is a beautiful thing ... that's why I'm a lesbian ... I was born naked ... anybody who is against that is gay and in denial."

The 28-year-old MTV reality star -- real name: Tila Nguyen -- now says Merriman's alleged abuse prompted the bizarre video (which has been taken down).

"Well, you know, I couldn't sleep, and I started getting anxiety," she tells TMZ of why she made the tape. "I just kind of flipped out a little bit."

Tila -- who is currently filing a $1.5 million lawsuit against Merriman for battery and false imprisonment -- said she is "doing OK now."

"I just wish ... I hope that everybody gives me a second chance to support me this time, to give me a fair chance because they didn't give me a fair chance the first time," she said.

Referring to District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis dismissing her claims, Tila then told TMZ, "They didn't even look into [my case]."

"When my case first came out, everyone was calling me a liar because [they said] if he really did beat you, you wouldn't have said anything because Rihanna never said anything [at first]," Tila went on.

"But I am not her," Tila said. "No offense to Rihanna, but because of what she did, it sends out a message to everyone ... 'When you get beat or abused, keep your mouth shut.'

"So I decided I am going to come out and speak about it and fight for it..." she went on.

"What Rihanna did ... her message was to say quiet," Tila said, "and that's not OK."

    She's noting but a ugly midget with a big f#*@ed up "Hello Kitty" head.....everything that comes out of her mouth is utter nonsense!! She has a mind of a 5 year old...she obviously had a f*#@ed up childhood or something happened to her to behave this way. She had to block her Twitter account.....ha ha....let me guess why????...everything that she tweets about was just rubbish crap or lies!!! Mental case!!

    Why do so many people dis Tequila. She enjoys her body and she needs sex. Unlike many, she enjoys what she needs and it's good for her. What's the big deal. She is no less sensative, intellegent, or capable because of it. Others over eat, abuse drugs, abuse other to relieve stress. She does what comes natural at a time like this. She has to strip to masturbate so that's no surprise. At least she's honest with herself.

    The rant is carefully crafted, just like her claims against the football player and everything this miget does to get publicity. Her comparison to Rhiannia, statement she is lesbian, then that anyone who doesnt see it her way is "gay". All crafted to hopefully entice get some hollywood media outlook to pick up and run with. She knows that any publicity is good publicity, at least in gaining her more exposure. The sooner no one pays attention and her 15 min of fame are up, the better. She is getting nausea to read about.

    The difference between Tila Tequila and Rihanna, is that Tila Tequila deserves and NEEDS to be beaten. I know it sounds cruel and isn't politically correct; but I ask you, how many people out there want to hit her right now?
  • November 22, 2009 - 9:03am Hope Lucero Says:

    Tila is one of the most disgusting women alive. She says her meltdown was due to beat down. No one cares about her and she wants to stay in the spotlight. If her debaucherous lifestyle hasn't caused her to meltdown nothing will. I truly believe this woman has mental health problems and needs intense psychiatric treatment. She will do anything, without shame, to convince that everyone incident where she acted badly, was someone else's fault. Her alcohol and mental health problems are her problems and since no one cares anything about her&she has no more means of support. Who would spend a dime to see her? Unless of course they are as deranged as she is. She is a publicity seeker and she knows how to get attention. She doesn't love herself and doesn't care about her about what people think about her. She continuously makes herself look bad in the public eye. Another athlete with moola means a possible settlement and means to kdn't believe her, why would anyone else. HL

    1.5 million hmmmm sounds like she wants money ... if there was a case I would imagine the DA would of pressed charges ... I think money is the motive.

    I believe the D.A. declined to press charges due to insufficient evidence. That's why she's going the civil-suit route.

    where do you find the full video?
  • November 20, 2009 - 3:36pm Lord_Santa Says:

    if she's lesbian, how come she's got an x-boyfriend?
  • November 20, 2009 - 2:44pm Paula Says:

    what a hore!! If he did beat her up, then why didn't she press charges or have to go to the hospital? Rhiana didn't keep quiet about it, she went to the hospital. So where's the hore's pictures of her beat up?

    @bellaluna@ ahahahaha true that my friend. Drugs will make u do crazy things that is for sure. Drugs and stress are two very bad things in combination with each other.
  • November 20, 2009 - 12:50pm d Says:

    Please excuse me for my ignorance but where did she come from? I know she had a reality show, but how did she get it, where did she come from? We really need to stop giving people the opportunity to become fake celebrities. It's sad.

    Okay, she's what? 4 foot nothing, less than 100 pounds. Merriman is I-don't-know-how-tall and around 375 pounds. If he did to her what she's claiming he did, she'd be dead or really seriously injured. My hubby is 6'6" and 325 pounds; I'm 5'8" and weigh more than her. If my husband did to me what she's claiming Merriman did to her, I'd look a LOT worse than she did. No way she's telling the truth. I believe he was trying to stop her from driving drunk, especially after his run-in with the cops last year for his then-girlfriend driving under the under influence.

    I'd hit it!!

    I can explain it too: D.R.U.G.S.
  • November 20, 2009 - 11:36am Pug Says:

    I feel sorry for her. She does nothing for a living and gets paid to do nothing. What a horrible life. Yeah, and if a 350lb linebacker beat her, she would be in a body cast. Nice try

    I'm sorry Tila, but women who are sexually confident and comfortable in their own skin DON'T need to make sex tapes, get boob jobs, talk about sex every single second of the day, create a "career" around sex or any of the other nonsense you and your fellow "women" do. In fact, everything you do is the exact OPPOSITE of being sexually confident. Just ask Dr. Drew, I'm sure you'll end up on the next season of 'Sex Rehab'. Get some class and some therapy, will ya?
