Tila Tequila’s ex-boyfriend Shawne Merriman is countersuing the reality TV star, real name Tila Nguyen.
Merriman is accusing her of spreading lies about domestic abuse in order to damage his reputation and sabotage his career .
Merriman was arrested on suspicion of battery and false imprisonment back in in September after Tequila called the cops to the athlete's California home claiming she had been choked and was being prevented from leaving the property.
The San Diego Chargers star denied the allegations and told police he had he only stopped Tequila from exiting the house because she was "inebriated" and he didn't want her to travel alone.
He was then released without charge but then Tequila filed a law suit against the sports star last month accusing her ex of assault, battery, false imprisonment and emotional distress.
The suit also included photo evidence of bruises Tequila claimed were inflicted by Merriman during the incident.
But Merriman is standing up to his ex partner and filed his own lawsuit against Tequila in a U.S. District Court this week.
Claiming the TV star posted untruths on her website about his reported violent behaviour and alleged involvement in drugs and sex with minors, which was reported on TMZ.com.
He is suing for intentional interference with contract and unfair competition after he lost out on a T-shirt venture shortly after his arrest scandal.
As well as trademark infringement, amid claims Tequila used his Lights Out logo on her webpage.
However Tequila appears to have moved on from the relationship after recently announcing in a bizarre online video that she's engaged to marry her socialite girlfriend Casey Johnson.
