He released this statement (via People.com):

Tila Tequila was choked by her NFL boyfriend Shawne Merriman. Tila and Shawne were out partying in San Diego Saturday night and looked happy as clams. Two clams who were dirty dancing and drinking the night away. Hmmmm, kind of sounds like Rihanna and Chris Brown, doesn’t it?
