Perez Hilton says gay rights organization didn’t have his back..huh?
(please note that this is not the actual photo from the incident!!)
By now you have heard that Perez Hilton, the blogger you love to hate, allegedly caught a beatdown by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas (or was it by a security guard?) He then posts his attack on Twitter and it just goes downward from there. (Sidenote: why would one posted on Twitter that they are being attacked?)
So why is it no surprise that when a gay rights organization calls Perez out for pretty much being a hypocrite (calling Will.I.Am an anti-gay slur, as Perez is gay himself), he complains about how they don’t have his back? Blogger or not, own up to your sh-t! If someone says that you screwed up, own up to it! Don’t complain about someone else’s f-ck ups as a cop out!
“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.” (source)
Dare I quote Brand Nubian for a second, “Punks jump up to get beat down”? Just saying….I don’t condone violence in any way, but we know that Perez is a controversial personality, a sh-t starter, if you will. A habitual line stepper (remember Charlie Murphy talking about Rick James?). How do you not expect to talk ish and not suffer consequences?
On the other hand, what happened to “sticks and stones may break your bones” and all that jazz?

Perez, give me ONE GOOD REASON why anyone, GLAAD above all, should have your back?!!? I don’t know much about them, but just from googling them they seem to be an organization that works to prevent the type of discrimination spread by terms like “faggot” which you admittedly called Will.I.Am… and you call HIM a thug? Words may not LEGALLY be used as provocation to a physical attack, but let’s be real: If the shoe was on the other foot and Perez had been called a faggot he would have been ready to throw haymakers. AANNNDDD there would be protests, marches and rainbow flags EVERYWHERE in support of his cause. Just because Will.I.Am isn’t gay, that doesn’t make the term ‘faggot’ any less hateful, just like skin color doesn’t make the term ‘nigger’ any less hateful. He wants everyone to come to his defense… but I agree with MzVirgo: own up to your own fuck-up and stop playing the victim here. You keep being rude and disrespectful to people something is bound to come back and bite you in the ass… or hit you in the eye!!

TMZ has the video posted and Perez instigated the whole thing. Will I Am walked away from him even after he said “You’re not talented. You’re a fuckin’ fag!” ..and he’s already admitted himself that Will did not hit him, it was his manager. He also admitted that he said the “most hurtful thing he could say to Will because he knew it would get him riled up” So with that said, why was he tweeting that it was Will knowing it wasnt him. Why did he say the MOST HURTFUL THING HE COULD knowing it would get them RILED UP yet not expect to get hit (or did he)..if he was so hurt what took him so long to report it? and why over twitter? and judging from the video he posted later..he didnt even have a black eye, chances are he wasnt even PUNCHED…smh Perez is an idiot.

Perez is so lucky that I wasn’t near him b/c my size 12 Timberlands would’ve gone so far up his ass that his breath would smell like Foot Locker water repellent. I can’t stand him, and he talks major trash while claiming to be non-violent. BTW I love the Brand Nubian quote.

a lot of people don’t understand that it’s okay for Mario (Perez) to be petty and contradict himself all the time… see, that’s how he makes a living
