Perez Hilton in Hot Water with GLAAD for Calling Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas That Vile Anti-Gay Slur Word That Begins with “F”
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on June 23, 2009
Perez Hilton, celebrity-bashing gay blogger and profane attacker of Miss California Carrie Prejean, gets popped in the eye by Black Eyed Peas general manager
It is, I’m sure, a delicious moment of schadenfreude for the droves of people in the greater Los Angeles area that Perez has childishly and rabidly attacked and maligned on his despicable, mean-spirited gossip blog. He used his filthy mouth one time too often. Consequences for your actions, Perez, are part of being a grownup. In this case, you got popped in the eye. Karma, man, karma.
While I don’t condone violence, I’m sure it wasn’t the first time someone took a swing at you for your nasty mouth, but now, you’re trying to play it up to the public and your twisted fans that you’re the angry, wronged victim rather than the vulgar perpetrator. And what’s with you getting all thug-like to my darlin’ girl Fergie? That’s like attacking my little sister. Fergie is amazing… you aren’t fit to clean her boots. Bad enough you tried to destroy Carrie Prejean… now you’re being snotty and foul with Fergie?
GLAAD thinks you’re a worm, too.
From the LA Times, The Dish Rag:
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.”
From Hollyscoop:
…But instead of apologies, Perez has issued his own statement about how pissed he is about GLAAD being pissed at him and he wants an apology from them now! Here’s what he had to say:
“I am saddened GLAAD chose to victimize me further by criticizing me for how I non-violently dealt with a very scary situation that, unfortunately, turned violent. While I doubt I will get an apology from GLAAD, nor do I expect one, I would just hope people know how difficult it is to intellectualize a situation and think rationally when a thug disguised as a musician is screaming at your face and intimidating you. I am just very fortunate and grateful that nothing more serious happened to me.”
We’re giving this one to GLAAD. Perez shouldn’t have used that language against Will.i.am. Perez also claimed he was beaten by Will.i.am, but according to Police, it was Will.i.am’s manager who threw the first punch. He already turned himself in and Perez is still on a rampage attacking Will.i.am. Whose side are you on?
From FOX News:
Will.I.Am posted his own online video statement early Monday morning telling his side of the story. The singer said fellow Black Eyed Peas member Fergie had approached Hilton at an afterparty at the club Ultra and asked what the blogger had against their group. Fergie then relayed the back-and-forth to Will.I.Am, who described the blogger as being “rude.”
At a subsequent afterparty at Cobra, Will.I.Am says he and Hilton exchanged words. “So I go up to him and say, ‘Hey, can you do me a favor, Perez?… Can you not be so blatantly rude to our group on your website? That’s just wrong – you don’t have to be disrespectful,’” Will.I.Am said in his video statement. “He said, ‘I don’t respect you.’ I was like, ‘What? Ok, if you don’t respect me that’s cool.’
Will.I.Am then says Perez called him “a f**got” at which point “the fans get all crazy and start on Perez Hilton. I’m just sitting there minding my own business waiting for a car.”
However, the entertainment website TMZ reported that the general manager of the Black Eyed Peas — Polo Molina — had turned himself in to Toronto police early Monday morning. Hilton corroborated this in his own video release Monday morning, saying that The Black Eyed Peas’ manager “Polo clocked me right here [motioning to his black eye], and punched me two or three times.”
An extremely emotional Hilton also addressed Will.I.am’s video statement, saying “You know very well, and I know very well, and God knows that it was not a random fan that hit me.”
Hilton did admit calling Will.I.Am a “f**got,” saying it was the worse thing he could think of to call the singer at the time. He went further in his video statement, calling the singer “a f***ing coward,” and adding he would have had more respect if he would have punched him in the face himself.
From Gabby Babble, Chicago Sun Times:
What I don’t understand is why Perez Hilton didn’t call the police instead of tweeting about it. If you are really hurt, why waste time and tweet about it when you can dial 911 yourself?
What goes around, comes around… People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones… Something about “the pot calling the kettle black”… Truth is stranger than fiction… Justice has been served…
