Perez Hilton not backing down for using gay slur
Perez Hilton not backing down for using gay slur


(Los Angeles) Perez Hilton isn’t apologizing for using a gay slur.

The openly gay gossip blogger said in a statement Tuesday that he would continue to say things upsetting to gay and straight people alike. The comments came after the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation called for Hilton to apologize Monday for unleashing the word during an altercation at a nightclub with Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am.

“I wish none of it had happened,” said Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira. “I can’t take it back. I did what I thought was best at the moment to stand up for myself in a nonviolent 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.”

11. He's pissed that no one is jumping to his defense.
The only ones are his brain dead little fans.

He's had to back track and try to apologize for talking shit about some celbs that got smacked in the face. He can't understand why people hate him and don't give a fuck what happened.

3. One true thing Mario says-the only one
Is that he is in no way a spokesman for the gay or any other community. I can not stand him for many reasons. This latest one is just another. Not that I have much to say for will.i.am having others throw punches over words either. Not exactly wise, nor very manly, to put it bluntly.
I think they both are small minded and rude people who lack social skills. I expected that out of the vile 'Hilton' but not out of will. I thought highly of him until I saw this whole story last night. Now he's just another violence monger. 'Perez' is still exactly what he was, a wannbe Rona Barrett.

16. In fairness, it wasn't will.i.am that threw the punch
I believe it was one of his bodyguards or somebody else in his entourage.

7. He probably makes no money from his internet venture. So he found another way to cash in,
...by SUING CELEBRITIES! Seriously, has this guy ever left the house or went to a public school before he became famous? He should have known that if you talk that much smack relentlessly, you're gonna get your ass kicked! Let see him try that smack talking in a Leather Bar with a bunch of bears and see how long he lasts.

Watch out Mario, your ego is deflating!

God I can't wait for this anyone can become a celebrity trend to end!

12. Perez Hilton is an idiot.
He of all people should know better than to say what he did. I have no sympathy for him or his shenanigans.

22. I see Walmart greeter in his near future.
More celbs are going to start standing up to his crap. He such a hypicrit. He jumped all over Isaiah Washington, has poked fun of celbs that got smacked like he did and has said some of the most vile hateful things on his website ...... and he had the nerve to say "words don't hurt".

Karma, dear.

I just hope this is the end of his 15 minutes. Hope he saved money.
