Perez Hilton Confirmed Racist

Perez Hilton

Since last year, I've accused blogger Perez Hilton of being a racist (click here). This week, he's unwisely confirmed it with his own mouth.

Remarking on the fight he had with the manager of Black Eyed Peas manager, over black group member, Will.i.am, Perez said he was going to call him a "nig*er" and is sorry he did not.

Perez Hilton Would Rather Be a Racist Than Bad for the Gays

Mon Jul 6 2009 - Perez Hilton called will.i.am a "fag*ot." Now, in an Advocate profile he desperately wants for you to know that he's not a gay hate-monger. He's just a racist. Some of his best friends are gay people. Best friends like... himself!...

But Perez tells me that, in the heat of the moment that night, he almost chose to use a different word. "I thought about calling him the n word," he says over the phone a week after the incident, "but I thought the f word was even worse. I was so filled with hate at that moment because I was hated on so much, and I reacted in the worst way possible. Then I went on to make a bunch of other mistakes. I shouldn't have made the video...

Perez Hilton Mocked Michael Jackson When He Died

Perez Hilton Dissed By Matthew Shepard Foundation

Perez Hilton is really getting himself into one problem after another. The PR rolling in regarding him has turned very ugly, from Carrie Prejean to rapper Will.i.am and now Michael Jackson.

As news reports surfaced of Michael Jackson being rushed to the hospital, homosexual blogger, Perez Hilton doodled awful items on a picture of the pop singer and accused him of feigning illness to get out of his comeback tour that was scheduled for London next month.

Hilton's post was vicious. When Jackson was pronounced dead, Hilton withdrew the negative, defamatory posts and pretended nothing happened.

In other Hilton news, Perez vowed to donate all proceeds from a lawsuit against Black Eyed Peas' manager, Polo Molino, to the Matthew Shepard foundation, dedicated to the gay man that was killed for being a homosexual.

However, the foundation, run by Shephard's mom, put out a press release declining any possible donation from Perez's lawsuit. They want no part of it or him, as Perez used the slur "fa*got" as an insult Black Eyed Peas' rapper Will.i.am.

Brutal Perez MJ Post Sparks Twitter War

Perez Hilton is no stranger to controversy, and now many of the stars who he often pals around with have turned on him via Twitter, ripping the celebrity blogger for his posts based around Michael Jackson in the moments before his death.
Hilton purportedly posted a photograph of Jackson with his signature white writing on it, with the phrase "Heart Attack or Cold Feet?" scrawled across the top, quetioning whether Jackson was sick or possibly bailing out of his summer concerts. "Either he's lying or making himself sick, but we're curious to see if he's able to go on!!! Get your money back, ticket holders!!!!" he wrote -- which has since been redacted. As it turns out, Jackson truly did have a heart attack and died. That's when the celebs stepped in to give Perez a piece of their mind:

STATEMENT FROM MATTHEW SHEPARD FOUNDATION REGARDING PEREZHILTON.COM

The Matthew Shepard Foundation was surprised to learn this morning via media reports that blogger Perez Hilton (Mario Lavandeira) has announced he plans to donate, to our organization, the proceeds of a lawsuit he is contesting over an altercation which has been widely reported in recent days.

We had no advance notice or contact from Mr. Hilton or his representatives regarding this proposal, nor any communication since he posted this plan to his website.

We do not know the details of the lawsuit, whether it has been filed, the nature of his claims or the likely outcome. But because the lawsuit presumably involves the physical attack prompted by Mr. Hilton's admitted use of an anti-gay slur, the Foundation will be unable to accept any funds obtained in such a manner.

We very much appreciate the generosity of the offer to support our continuing work to memorialize Matthew through activism in defense of sexual minorities and in favor of understanding, compassion, and acceptance. But because so much of our work involves education to reduce the use of hateful language against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered persons, or those so perceived, it would be inappropriate for us to benefit financially from circumstances in which such a verbal attack was involved.

While we applaud Mr. Hilton's apology to the LGBT community and their loved ones for his use of such a slur, we also feel compelled to point out that use of epithets can often lead to physical violence, as it appears it may have in this case, and that the Matthew Shepard Foundation has worked for more than 10 years to bring to people's attention the consequences of hateful or inolerant language.

Perez Hilton Denounced By GLAAD

Perez Hilton

GLAAD is not happy with Hollywood mouthpiece, blogger, Perez Hilton. Due to his terrible altercation yesterday, where he called Jamaican rapper and Black Eyed Peas member, Will.i.am, a "fa*got" and "gay" that led to a beatdown from the group's manager, Liborio Molina, GLAAD has denounced Perez's hate speech and asked that he apologize for the anti-gay slurs.

I stated two months ago in this Column that Perez was going to bring down gays in Hollywood. This is only the beginning. So many news stations, TV shows and on air personalities have denounced his conduct in this incident. Many slammed him over the abuse of Carrie Prejean as well. Perez is out of control and out of his mind, hanging with a certain Hollywood set that is into weird things.

Will.i.am

Perez released a video to the internet today that has him screaming, yelling and cursing into the camera at Will.i.am, who has remained calm throughout this fiasco, blaming him for punching him in the head three times, when everyone stated it was the Black Eyed Peas manager, Liborio Molina, that hit him, believing he was about to attack the rapper. However, Molina should not have turned to violence.

Perez looks crazy and deranged in the video. His eyes have a psychotic look to them now. He has been acting strangely for the past year. Whatever it is that is troubling him and whatever mess he has gotten himself into behind the scenes that I shall not mention at this time, he needs to get a grip before it destroys him.

GLAAD asks Perez Hilton to apologize for anti-gay slurs against Will.i.am

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has asked Perez Hilton to apologize for slurs he hurled at Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

GLAAD was responding to a video posted by the celebrity blogger, whose legal name is Mario Lavandeira, in which Hilton gave his version of events after Will.i.am posted a video describing their recent confrontations at and after the MuchMusic Video Awards. Said Hilton in his video: "I made the split-second decision -- that I was gonna say what I thought was the worst possible thing that thug [Will.i.am] would ever want to hear" -- which was a handful of assorted F-bombs.

Rashad Robinson, GLAAD's senior director of media programs, said: "These are vulgar anti-gay slurs that feed a climate of hatred and intolerance toward our community. For someone in our own community to use it to attack another person by saying that it is, quote, ‘The worst possible thing that thug would ever want to hear,’ is incredibly dangerous. It legitimizes use of a slur that is often linked to violence against our community. And it sends a message that it is OK to attempt to dehumanize people by exploiting anti-gay attitudes.”

“We have reached out to Hilton and asked him to apologize for promoting this anti-gay slur, and we would ask media outlets to avoid repetition of the slur in their coverage of this story.”

Perez Hilton Lied

Initially, homosexual, Jamaica hating blogger Perez Hilton stated Jamaican rapper and Black Eyed Peas music group member, Will.i.am, punched him several times in the head, which the hip hop star denied.

Then, in a rage fueled video posted to his website the next day, Perez slipped up and stated it was the Black Eyed Peas' manager that punched him in the head a few times. You lied Perez and in something that is very serious.

Violence can happen to anyone, anywhere, by a person of any color or nationality. However, trying to frame up a man whose nation you have targeted in a racist, unprovoked, hypocritical manner, is not good.

For almost two months, I have been referring to Perez as a spokesperson for the gay community ("Continue to let Perez be your mouthpiece. He will be the downfall of gay Hollywood"). Since he reads this web site, I take it his article last night where he stated, "Also, I am not nor have I ever claimed to be a spokesperson for the gay community" was in reference to the comments I previously wrote.

However, you did make yourself into that by constantly issuing quotes and articles on behalf of the gay community, especially Hollywood homosexuals, who you have poorly represented (though many of them in tinseltown are not much better in the poor, abusive treatment of heterosexuals). For further proof see Carrie Prejean and Will.i.am incidents.

Yes, as you stated in your video yesterday, you did not deserve to be hit, but don't lie about who your assailant was for deceitful, racist reasons. Furthermore, the evidence is testifying against you, as the photo posted above shows it was not a black hand, as that of dark skinned Will.i.am that struck you (see above posted photo of a light skinned fist punching towards the back of Perez's head).

A New Statement from Perez Hilton

From the heart:

"...Unfortunately, the one who got hurt was me and, subsequently, a lot of other people. I wish none of it had happened. I can't take it back. I did what I thought was best at the moment to stand up for myself in a non-violent yet still assertive way. Clearly, I am not homophobic. Also, I am not nor have I ever claimed to be a spokesperson for the gay community. I am just speaking for myself, a gay man. One who is labeled "flamboyant" in the media...Stripped away from the mask of Perez Hilton, I have been extremely bothered by the public reaction to my assault. Violence should never be condoned with such statements as "It's Karma" or "I don't believe in violence but….". In fact, several television and radio shows over the past couple of days echoed the sentiment "He had it coming". Would they have said the same thing if I was a woman? Would I have "deserved it" if I had been stabbed? Or shot? Or killed? I was attacked from behind without warning and repeatedly punched in the head in a cold, disgusting and unnecessarily violent manner by Polo Molina, the road manager for the Black Eyed Peas, who I did not even speak with that evening..."
