Perez Sorry for Gay 'F Word'

Share

(Newser) – Celeb blogger Perez Hilton has apologized for using the "F word" gay slur in his dust-up with the Black Eyed Peas. Band manager Polo Molino has been charged with assault for allegedly punching Hilton after the gossip maven dissed Will.i.am after a video awards show in Toronto. GLAAD called on Hilton to apologize for his anti-gay slur.

"I am apologizing to the gay community, to anyone who was hurt by my choice of words," wrote Hilton, who is gay. "The 'F' word will never be uttered from my lips again." He promised to donate any gains from his lawsuit against Molino to the Matthew Shepard Foundation. But Hilton's contrition may have had an ulterior motive, Gawker points out—he could have faced criminal persecution for using the word under Canadian hate law.

Perez Hilton is the only human being on Earth I absolutely hate. I hope he gets punched over and over until he retires and goes away. He has hurt so many people in this world and refuses to acknowledge it, but gets a punch in the eye and wants to file a lawsuit and won't shut up about it - screw him. Reply

Wow. He... He is the only person you hate?! Thousands of people deserve hate I don't think some attention seeking dingbat like Perez deserves your hate. Explore the many people who are a thousand times worse then Perez and find someone else. He is a shallow person making fun of shallow people SOOOOO WHAT!???????

I cannot feel sorry for Perez. I'm not saying he deserved whatever happened but he is not a nice person. Reply
