You should really learn to get your emotions in check. Was creating something so hateful really the best option? Did your lawyer tell you to make this video because I can't imagine they would have.

While I agree that no one should be hit by anyone, I find it quite odd that the entire site is backdropped with the Black Eyed Peas new album ads….coincidence?

Verbal abuse is just as bad as physical Perez. How do you not know that! You are a mean spirited person. Violence is never the answer and either are violent words.
AnnaTheRed says – reply to this

Violence is never the answer! We're glad you're okay Perez! Way to stand up for yourself!
JoeyDub says – reply to this

Maybe you will stop talking shit now. You totally trash Fergie and call her ugly all the time. Then you say it's all fun when you get from behind the computer screen and in someone's face

However much of an arse he was being, nobody deserves to be assualted. It's true…violence is never the answer. It takes a bigger person to walk away. Hope you are alright Perez, whatever the truth may be.

JONIA247 says – reply to this

57

Im so sorry that you had to go threw that, It sad that there is animlas like that in this world, God bless you and help you threw this, You are the better person,I guess the truth hurts, they suck as a whole goup I can't stomach them. They should be proud that you even bother to blog about them, bad or good at least your honest and sometimes the truth hurt! But they just thugs with mikes, who really have no talent. I would never buy their album, especially after this! I help you know your the better person, I will say a prayer for you, God bless you and please take care of you, Nia in New YorK! We love you !

IT'S KIND OF FUNNY THAT THE BLACK EYED PEAS ARE ADVERTISED SO PLAINLY ON THE FRONT PAGE…LOL

Yeah. Will.i.am is a coward.

Stay strong Mario.
NNENNA says – reply to this

lmao! perez, yu can't expect to talk SHIT all the time && not get an ass beating. it was coming for yu, just be glad thats all yu got. Lord only knows what would've happened to ur ass if yu had messed with one of them thug rappers. we might all be saying R.I.P right now.
FUCK YOU WORLD!!! says – reply to this

62

Mario, this is Melissa…that is my legal name…Word of advice: Next time you say…"you shouldn't hit people…, …draw blood…", you may not want to follow it with, "That's how people end up dead." Cause, Mario, that sounds like a threat. You are a shitty person and your head is getting to big for your shoulders to carry. You should've known this was going to happen.

perez, you're right! violence is never the answer, and Will.I.Am is a coward. You have supporters who believe you, and are glad you're okay. I hope this unfortunate altercation will in no way affect your view of being in canada, and i hope you return keep your chin up

I'm so sorry you got attacked in Toronto. I hate that Toronto may have left a bad taste in your mouth. Feel better…

but really should you been crying? me as a girl i would never cry because someone hit me and especially post it online(the crying ..i mean)…
i mean sorry for your pain..but still…wtf?
karenkay says – reply to this

67

anyone else think it's odd that when reading about the 'assault' on the main page, the background is an ad for the BLACK EYED PEAS?!!??!!?
Anonymousdude says – reply to this

68

I registered to this hideous website just to tell Perez that YOU FULLY DESERVED THIS. You can't go on with life by bashing people left and right, making a living out of it, and then not expect anyone to react.

Stop being a whiny little baby already!
givepeaceachance says – reply to this

69

Obviously your right that violence isn't the answer… but I do think that you need to stop personally attacking people - for example, calling Fergie "fugly". Those words hurt just as bad as a fist to the face.
LeanneZoeii says – reply to this

70

I was a fan of Will.i.Am but not after this. He's going to lose so much respect. No-one deserves physical abuse. Im glad you have got your version of events out there now, no doubt some naive people will believe him and his video full of bullshit. He say's your doing it for the press? Since when the fuck have you needed press! Obviously he's gonna try and worm his way out of it by coming up with crappy excuses to why your "lying". I believe you Perez. Stay strong. He isn't worth your tears.

Stonegoddess says – reply to this

75

I agree with Perez, people can hate him all they like for saying shitty things about him. I admit some things are pretty harsh. Hitting someone just isn't right though.

If you're upset and feel something is slanderous or whatever, you sue. You don't beat someone up. That is just low class, juvenile behavior.

Hope you feel better soon Perez; take the high road dude.

you have the right to blog about whatever you want because it is YOUR BLOG!
they have the right to ask you to try to stop being so mean,
but they dont have the right to beat you up like that.
FUCK YOU WORLD!!! says – reply to this

79

You like writing about other peoples drama, but you don't want drama. What the fuck, of course you want drama. Instead of being a man, you are airing your dirty laundry out to the public.
kywildcatfn says – reply to this

80

I am sorry Perez, you brought this on yourself. Besides I watched both videos and personally I think you are blowing this out of portion and being somewhat of a drama queen.

ok its wrong to go around punching bloggers but being stalked by a group of angry black eyed peas is pretty hilarious lol
pitseleh8 says – reply to this

82

Considering you yourself are gay, why the HELL would you call someone else a derogatory, horrible word using it in as an insult?! You say you stand up for gay rights yet you use the same hateful words as teenagers who kill other teenagers for their sexual preferences. And beside that, you said it as an insult! As if it's something to be ashamed of! As if it's a bad thing! Shame on you.

KARMA FOR THE WIN!
VERBAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE THAT YOU SPEW DAILY IS NO FUCKING BETTER PEREZ, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU SAY.

A million hugs sweetie .. I am so sorry this happened to you !!

I hope you get better. You are a bigger person then he is and I am so proud of you for standing up for yourself.

I have the hardest time standing up for myself and let people walk all over me all the time but you have given me the courage to stand up for myself.
All my love to you Perez

I'm so sorry that happened to you. The Peas are fucking scum..I'm never buying their music ever again after hearing that. They don't deserve shit after doing that to another human being. You may be a blogger and it is your job to run your mouth but violence is never the answer.
tanisha says – reply to this

87

Keep your head up Perez, you did not deserve this! I understand that you write about people and their music or whatever drama is curently going on in their lives but that is not an excuse for someone to use violence. We as americans have the freedom of speech and are free to say what we please. If people want to get that upset over something that was wrote about them on a celebrity gossip site then I think it's time for a career change!
blogstreetsback says – reply to this

88

i like how you still have their advertisement up on your blog. You are annoying and someone needs to come out with a better blog/almost as good and you will be long gone. Nobody likes you, they pretend they do cause you are gay. Having gay friends is cool these days thats why. fat fuck
grant8323 says – reply to this

In most cases emotional pain and distress is a lot worse than physical pain.

Your career is based on causing people emotional pain.

A little punch to the face is nothing in comparison, and in fact you thoroughly deserved it.

Verbal bullying is psychological. I disagree with violence but unfortunately for you Perez it was and still is inevitable.

Ps. Respect is earned, bad mouthing people is not the way to achieve it.
