Tila Tequila recently refuted boyfriend Shawne Merriman's claim she was attempting to drive drunk, saying that she's allergic to alcohol. Now a source has told Global Grind that even if she was drunk, she didn't have a car to drive.

The source said exclusively to Global Grind, "She did not have a car that night because she was booked for an event on Friday night... a car service was provided for Tila by the promoters which refutes Shawne Merriman's claim that Tila was trying to drive drunk. She did not have a car."

Tila Tequila's attorney has also released an official statment:

"Shawne Merriman and his advisors have decided that the best defense is a good offense, attacking Tila Tequila in the press with a lot of calculated spin to cover up his illegal and indefensible actions. Fortunately, we as a society will not tolerate a 6'4", 270 pound all-pro NFL linebacker physically assaulting a young lady who is 4'11" and 93 pounds. It is never justifiable to brutally assault, choke, strike and imprison a woman. Once the truth is fully revealed, Mr. Merriman's fantastic story of how he was trying to keep Ms. Tequila safe will be completely discredited. No one, especially a woman, should ever have to endure what Mr. Merriman did to Tila Tequila."
