"On September 6, 2009 the San Diego Sheriff's Department responded to a citizen's complaint that was initiated by Tila Nguyen (aka Tila Tequila). I was taken into custody based upon that complaint. At the time, I was concerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided.

"We would all do our best to help a friend if we considered their actions to be detrimental to their personal safety. I in no way caused any harm to Ms. Nguyen, however, paramedics were called and she was examined but no injuries were reported. She was released and has since returned to Los Angeles, California.

"There have been no charges filed against me. I want to thank the San Diego Sheriff's Department for their professionalism. I will continue to cooperate fully with the Department, and I look forward to clearing my name regarding these false allegations. I want to put this behind me so I can continue to focus on a successful season for the San Diego Chargers." (Source: FOXSports)

"I am allergic to alcohol. It has been publicly known for years. That is how I got the name Tila ’Tequila’ cuz the irony. I cant drink."

"The owner of the nightclub where Shawne Merriman spent time with TV personality Tila Tequila on Saturday has refuted her claim that she was not drinking prior to the arrest of the Chargers lineback Sunday morning.

Tequila said on Twitter that she was allergic to alcohol and is unable to drink.

James Brennan, the owner of the Stingaree nightclub, said several of his employees told him she drank several shots of tequila and sipped a bottle of vodka.

"She wasn't like falling down or anything of that nature, but she was visibly intoxicated," Brennan told the AP.

"It sounds like she's allergic to the truth." (Source: USA Today)

"Well kiddies….here is why mama drinks. The answer is…YES…I am indeed ALLERGIC to alcohol. When I drink, my face swells up, I get red all over and rash sploches/patches all over my body. My eyeballs turn red as well. HOWEVER, that doesn’t stop me from drinking every once in a while anyway! hahaha! For instance my best friend is allergic to SEAFOOD, but she loves seafood so much that she will eat it anyway, despite the fact that she breaks out in hives. Why? Well because sometimes….just sometimes it’s worth it just to have a little taste….do you agree??? Well…that is my reason. Since I am allergic to alcohol it doesn’t take me very much to get totally shitfaced and plastered." (Source: Tila-Tequila.org)
