A New Statement from Perez Hilton

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Personally Perez > Sad Sad

From the heart:

"Words can hurt. I know that very well, from both sides of the fence. The other night in Toronto, after feeling physically threatened by a verbally abusive Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas, I chose the most hurtful word I know to hurl at him. I was in an out-of-the ordinary situaton and used a word that I would not utter under normal circumstances. My intention - however misguided it may have been - was to stand up for myself and tell this belligerent man that I had enough of his badgering and was not going to continue to let him berate and intimidate me. I wanted to hurt him with the word I chose, not anyone else. Unfortunately, the one who got hurt was me and, subsequently, a lot of other people. I wish none of it had happened. I can't take it back. I did what I thought was best at the moment to stand up for myself in a non-violent 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. I am just speaking for myself, a gay man. One who is labeled "flamboyant" in the media. An American that is not granted equal rights under the law. I will continue to speak out for equality and I will continue to say things that upset both gay people and straight people. Who I am as a person and what I do for a living are two separate things. I've come to terms with all my incongruities and am proud of who I am and what I do. In closing, words can hurt. But words should not provoke someone to violence. Stripped away from the mask of Perez Hilton, I have been extremely bothered by the public reaction to my assault. Violence should never be condoned with such statements as "It's Karma" or "I don't believe in violence but….". In fact, several television and radio shows over the past couple of days echoed the sentiment "He had it coming". Would they have said the same thing if I was a woman? Would I have "deserved it" if I had been stabbed? Or shot? Or killed? I was attacked from behind without warning and repeatedly punched in the head in a cold, disgusting and unnecessarily violent manner by Polo Molina, the road manager for the Black Eyed Peas, who I did not even speak with that evening. I did not share any words with him and his assault on me was completely unprovoked. I feel like everything happens for a reason and I leave this traumatic experience as a person with more compassion. Specifically, there was an instance last year when actor Jesse Metcalfe was attacked outside of a Hollywood nightclub by a fellow entertainer. I did not condone the violence, but I did make light of that situation. I regret that. Sincerely. There are many ways to deal with disagreements, both good and bad, but violence is never the answer. Never. I now know that first-hand. It should not be condoned, promoted or accepted. No one "deserves" to be the victim of violence. No one "has it coming." NO ONE. And victims should not be ridiculed. I look forward to marching for equality in Washington, D.C. this October. And I look forward to standing up for my rights in a Toronto courtroom shortly, as I fully intend to seek every lawful remedy against the man that attacked me."

    You got owned!!!!!!

    Rhianna must be happy there is a new beating victim being spoken about.



  2. 602

    Where's the apology? More double speak and no substance. You're not man/woman enough to say you are sorry for using the term. You're by no means a victum in this. People would feel the same way about a woman if she was beat down by another woman for talking shit and can't back it up. You don't know how to gossip without denigrating people like other blogs do. Keep it up and someone's going to beat you down again fatty.



  3. 603

    Awww, poor Perez. But both sides were wrong. I'm not trying to offend you, but you should think before you act.



  4. 604

    bye bye mario - kill my account there, I am gone.

  5. NDG says – reply to this


    605

    After reading that, I think you deserve another butt whooping!! Clearly, you didn't learn your lesson.

    Anybody else notice that there was NO clear apology for using the word at all… Nothing but cop outs and lame excuses. He claims he's not a "leader" for the gay community, but he sure put himself out there as one with the whole Carrie Prejean thing. There are ACTUAL leaders of the gay movement who don't get the amount of airtime that you did, Mario. Further, the time you did get, just like this incident involving Will.I.Am, was a MASSIVE and EPIC fail!!

    You may have done the movement for gay rights the biggest favor possible by alienating one of its main organizations. For that, I thank you.

    I hope that Will.I.Am holds YOU accountable for the slander and libel that you are guilty of. Remember, as you are feeding into black stereotypes subliminally, and while you try to tarnish his image, he DID NOT lay one finger on you. He had more restraint than you did!



  6. 606

    the only reason you put this on here is because GLAAD pwned you

    seriously a gay man who doesn't want to be called the "f" word calls another person that b/c he thought it was more hurtful than calling him something else… wow



  7. 607

    Well said, Perez.

    To the detractors who kept on commenting against Perez, why are you EVEN here in the first place?

    R-



  8. 608

    Perez I am proud of you for releasing this statement do not pay any attention to the persons leaving hateful messages on here. It just continues to show us that some people still hold on to their hateful thoughts.



  9. 609

    hope your okay ! and you are complelety right



  10. 610

    Re: Bushwack – EXACTLY!!! SO INSIGHTFUL!!!



  11. 611

    Re: YUCK – Why are you here in the first place?



  12. 612

    You know… if you shit enough people it is going to catch up with you. I dont support what happened to you but you have to understand you seriously piss people off. What did you expect………… you think everyone thinks what you say and do is funny. You didnt seem to have a problem acting like you did to Ms California just because she is different than you. One think I have found very interesting is the group of people who most claim and want tolerance (gay people) are the most intolerant people in the world……… sorry for your luck but you had it coming………



  13. 613

    ok fuckers, i hate perez hilton. like yeah its your job, but perez your a prick. you annoy the fuck outta me but i love your website. the black eyed peas are bitches, what fucking cry baby assholes. there celebrities. everyone talks shit about them, not everyone is gonna like him, there gunna get made fun of..ITS HOLLYWOOD. what they did, was so unproffesional. not even the hitting part, but by asking him oh why you hating blah blah why dont you like our music..like REALLY? your fucking celebrities YOUR SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT IN IF YOU DIDNT WANT ANY OF THIS WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU BECOME A CELEBRITY? does britney spears ever flip? does michael jackson ever flip? NO because as fucked up as they were/are there professional and know that people wont always like them but they need to move on anyway. black eyed peas seem bored, and there music sounds all the same, and fergie is fugly.



  14. 614

    stand for what you believe and for those that can't.



  15. 615

    Re: ledzepgirl78 – Stop asking people why they're on this site, dipshit. We're on this site because we want to comment on how retarded Perez is. Why are YOU on this site? Did your wife block all your favorite porn sites again?



  16. 616

    Re: bradm1x – No, that's where you are wrong. Nobody deserved it — except for you.

    R-



  17. 617

    I can agree that violence never solves anything. I can also agree that no one "has it coming". However, you do tend to cross the line quite often when it comes to ridiculing celebrities. Of course, we, the general public, tend to revel in lots of the ridicule because it makes the high and mighty more human. But as hypocritical as this may sound, I can understand how you bring it on yourself. Some of those that you make fun of don't have thick enough skin. Perhaps you need to learn who is able to take a joke and when you've gone to far. As far as you being gay, who cares. Be gay. Fight for gay rights. I actually believe in gay rights even though I am hetero. Your problem is your approach. You have become a militant egomaniacal gay rights activist. Trust me that turns more people off to your cause than homophobia.



  18. 618

    get over yourself……you turd…..good luck finding a sympathetic jury……..by the looks of the comments here…..you will be signing the check on the front



  19. 619

    NO one "has it coming." That is pretty ridiculous of news and radio stations to more or less condone what was done to you. You raise a great point: if you were a woman the world would be on your side on this matter 100-fold. Inexcusable.

    I'm curious to see what will happen to the Peas' sales now. I'm definitely not contributing to their little cause anymore.



  20. 620

    VIOLENCE. The ordinary dictionary would define it as an unlawful exercise of physical force. HOWEVER, it has been defined in a broader sense to include verbal and psychological abuse. Look it up. So technically you've been violent all along. Abuse is abuse whether it be physical or verbal. It's the same thing man. You've been talking shit, so now there's shit for you. Let this go. Stop being a crybaby. Drop the charges and just learn from the experience.



  21. 621

    Re: YUCK

    Again, why are you here?



  22. 622

    perez- u r a waste of space and i have to change the radio station every morning at 7:40 am when you are on b96 radio in chicago. you are not intelligent… all u can do is try to make fun of other people. in reality, everyone is making fun of you. you "supposedly" got punched. GOOD. i hope it happens more often. your're a wimp and an embarrassment. also, you're known for bashing people and saying rude and mean things. in your letter, you said you are most offended by what people have said to you, but how is that any different than what you do for a living?? it is now focused on you, rather than on other people. don't blame it on violence… ur feelings are hurt…. ur ego is bruised more than your eye. p.s. kiss fm chicago says ur head is HUGE.



  23. 623

    Re: bethanykimberly

    I lol'ed



  24. 624

    Re: beast son – nobody hit a woman they hit perez, so you drawing that comment out of what actually happened here seems to suit your agenda of showing what a great and morally correct guy you are on something as meaningless as this pink media whore of a blog, besides in your case the girl involved in your suggested scenario would most likely jump up and toss a beat down into you.



  25. 625

    you fucking rock perez! forget the haters and just concentrate on being you. I can totally relate with wanting to hurt someone during an argument, what do you have to be politically correct and mad at the same time? wtf is that bs, i fucking love you and so do many other people. Some of the things you say obviously will and do offend people, but maybe they shouldn't come on your site then if they don't want to see what you have to say about them. anyway keep being you. team perez!!!!!!!!!!



  26. 626

    Re: reveille

    Hey, FUCK yourself. If I see you, I'll punch you. After all, you deserved it.

    R-



  27. 627

    Words Hurt! You are too smart to have called him what YOU and ME HATE people to call us. Makes NO sense.
    You have to know that you are inciting anger and violence with your words. Learn from this.
    NO I'm not condoning the cowardly violence. He hit you from BEHIND! Coward that he is.
    But, tone down you nasty comments. People come here to see the new and the FUN comments you make, not nasty ones. Change, learn and grow!



  28. 628

    Hey dumb fuck - this is like a transcript of your rant the other day. All you need is tears splattered everywhere. You're a fucktard and you totally deserved and I hope they come back for your tainted infectious blood!



  29. 629

    what you have to think about is that words hurt. Having been physically abused and mentally/emotionally I can tell you that what you say about people definitely can cut into ones self esteem and confidence regardless of fame/fortune. Physical violence is not the answer but neither is the mental violence you cause.

    Not first you dumbass.

    Re: Miss USA – He want's ppl on his site but they won't be much longer! :p



  32. 632

    I think you are brave and admirable. Please don't listen the haters here who say otherwise. I will be marching with you in October in DC.



  33. 633

    :( i feel bad this happened.
    people who say you "deserve" this are clearly mistaken. shame on them.
    you have the guts to say what you want and most of us could learn from you to be more open and opinionated.
    good for you for reporting on this and staying strong.
    feel better.



  34. 634

    I still say you had it coming. BITCH!



  35. 635

    To all the people who are saying Perez deserved it or he had it coming….

    WHY do you even bother coming on this site if you all hate him so much? It seems stupid to come on a site when you hate the person? So obviously you all love this site and visit everyday but just want the attention by posting comments about how violence is ok..If you don't like Perez why don't you get the FUCK out of this site and stop wasting everyone's time.

    Perez I don't think you deserved to be hit. In fact I find it disgusting the way some people have reacted. You are truly a star and I think you're an amazing person the way you stand up for your beliefs!

    Keep strong. NZ loves you!



  36. 636

    Mario… You are 100% correct!!! I agree with you. You hang in there and don't you dare let anyone tell you that you are doing something wrong. You are the VICTIM. It is not right that people have been this hateful towards you. I am a mother, wife and my husband and I could not believe what happened to you. We teach our son tolerance towards everyone. Those who think it was "Karma or you had it coming" are judgemental and don't know any better. I also think that GLAAD should have stood behind you even if they thought you used a term which was out of line. So be it, you were in danger. You were trying to protect yourself. The video clearly shows what you went through. I hope you stay true to yourself and stay strong.



  37. 637

    QUIT CENSORING YOUR COMMENTS YOU WRITE CRAP ABOUT OTHER SUCK IY UP BUTTERCUP. BY THE WAY GET LEGAL REP. IN CANADA THE GAY COMMUNITY IS LOOKING INTO FILE HATE CHARGES BECAUSE OF YOUR PUBLIC HATEFUL WORDS.YOU HAVE SET BACK THE GAY COMMUNITY 20YRS THANKS THANKS FOR NOTHING.



  38. 638

    Re: distraction – i agree!



  39. 639

    Re: Princess328 – Funny how all of us "uneducated" folks can actually spell, isn't it?



  40. 640

    I don't know, P. I think you provoked the man. But I hope things turn out ok.



  41. 641

    I have been hearing on the news all day today about your terrible ordeal. I finally was able to watch your video and I am so, so sorry that you had to go through that. Thank God you are safe and God bless…



  42. 642

    I'm with U Perez. Being physically attacked is inexcusable and punishable by law. End of story.



  43. 643

    Violence is NEVER the answer, but neither is provoking a situation that you could have just walked away from. Instead of addressing the people that say "you had it coming" you should have been making a sincerely apology to the community that you have so deeply offended. And I agree with everyone that stated "pick a side" perez…………….



  44. 644

    perez, yes sometimes you may say things that are not very nice or flattering but then you wouldnt be perez hilton the gossip queen! i can almost promise you no one would read this blog if you only said nice things about celebs. but like you said, violence is not the answer and i truly am sorry that you had to endure that kind of humiliation. best of luck to you.



  45. 645

    Very admirable. I think it takes a big person to do what you just did. I seriously hope everything goes your way.



  46. 646

    I don't like you much but for some reason I read you every day. Anyway, like you are not, words are not weapons, fists are. William's mother should have taught him "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."

    And Fergie is a Fug.



  47. 647

    Dear Perez,

    I'm so sorry for what happened to you. It was shocking and horrible. I really hope you're recovering well. Your columns lift my day and give me a smile each and every day. Thank you for what you do. I admire your courage and hope you continue to entertain us for a very long time.

    Get well soon.

    Regards!



  48. 648

    HUllz yeah to this comment -
    "Perez i respect for for making this statement,
    don't feel bad for those who claim its karma,
    or say you had it comming.
    that's not fair.
    and if they do believe in karma,
    it will come back to them.
    you are right. VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER! "

    Dont let this get you down, sue that bastards ass! Then tear his money up in front of him and make him eat it ^_^ ♥



  49. 649

    While I do respect what sounds like some sort of lesson you've learnt, why did it take you this long to understand that words can be very hurtful. I am friends with a few people you target (especially some of the woman). By calling them fat, whores, druggie's etc… how do you think they feel when their friends and family read that. I was a PA on a Jennifer Aniston movie a few years ago. She remains the nicest actor I have ever worked with….and yet you attack her all the time. I don't feel sorry for you for getting punched - you did deserve it - but I respect what you've written. Hopefully you have learned a lesson. Words hurt. Of all people, you should know that. A gay, overweight mexican living in Los Angeles - a pretty easy target for a lot of bad words growing up I'm sure.



  50. 650

    Supporting u all the way perez



  51. 651

    Keep your head up Perez. I don't agree with everything you say or do, but you didn't deserve to be physically attacked. As Kate Daily said in her Newsweek blog today, "But it's not our responsibility to ensure that the person we're arguing with doesn't cross the line from nasty name calling to physical violence. This tired line of thinking keeps women with abusers (because if she just avoided certain subjects…), makes it ok to beat up gay men who have the temerity to walk down a crowded street in the wrong side of town (because really, what did he expect?) and subtly endorses sociopaths who think it's their life's work to beat some sense into people who don't fit a cultural norm. It's Rhianna, it's Matthew Sheppard, it's Angie Zapata. It's wrong."

    Hopefully that adorable pup of yours will give you much love as you move through this.

    PS — The first single off the new BEP album (can't remember the name because it's not memorable… ) is not very good. And I usually love their work.



  52. 652

    you kno if this happened to a different celebrity u would be making fun of them .u make me sick



  53. 653

    Perez,

    honestly, you should be a man and admit that you AREN'T the nicest person on earth. That you are NOT a complete victim of this. If you were, everybody would support you. If you really were completely innocent about this incident, you wouldn't be hearing everything that people are saying right now. Let's take Rihanna for example. She's someone that everybody likes, so EVERYBODY knew that Chris Brown could NEVER have any reasons to do what you did with her. But you should know that, when you say the things you say to people, you're gonna get yours eventually. I'm not saying that Will.I.Am was guilt about this incident, but if he was, he can be understood. You are NOT a victim. You're just getting back all the things that you said.

    And another thing… You cannot say that you are not a spokersperson for the gay community. You put the gay rights issue on the spotlight constantly on your blog. And now, you've just lost all the respect you could have to demand respect as a gay guy. By calling another man a F*GGOT, you have thrown away years of your fight for gay rights. If not years and decades of the gay community for those rights. So, for THAT you honestly own an apology to the gay community and, also, to Will.I.Am.

    So, instead of playing the victim, you should reconsider ALL your actions and start playing the GROWN UP MAN.



  54. 654

    I'm glad you stepped back and thought about it before writing anything again. Obviously, you were feeling personally attacked. I personally don't agree with most of what you say or personally stand for. But I acknowledge that you have the right to think and say anything you want. I think this situation will help you grow as a human being. Maybe now, when you're deciding what to say, this situation will give you a new perspective. I hope things work out the way they should.



  55. 655

    well written and so true.

    love ya perezzz



  56. 656

    Re: yeahsowat – I couldn't agree more!!! verbal violence is JUST AS BAD!!! The wounds from a physical attack quickly go away, but the wounds from constant emotional attacks never disappear and can cause irreversible damage..remember that, perez, before you call a teenage girl potato head or manly. if you continue, you are JUST AS GUILTY as the man who attacked you.



  57. 657

    You are deleting post right and left. I knew you would not man up.



  58. 658

    Re: ledzepgirl78

    get off of your high horse dumbass

    LEDZEPGIRL78='s FAIL



  59. 659

    perez u verbally attacked people on your site. that hurts sooo much more and lasts longer than a physical attack. you bully these people and now you cry and whine like a fuckin baby. I AM GLAD A LOT OF PEOPLE THINKS YOU DESERVE BEING PUNCHED. violence is not something I would do but you are a very MEAN, DISGUSTING, DISRESPECTFUL, and RUDE PERSON.



  60. 660

    team perez



  61. 661

    i'm going to say something
    i hope gets through your head.

    physical pain heals, emotional pain doesn't.
    the way you bash people all the time- can do some SERIOUS harm to someone emotionally. it is insensitive, rude, and disrespectful.

    IN YOUR OPINION, physical violence may be by a long shot- worse.
    but i can tell you right now. people are different. you need stop being so fucking selfish, and realize that to MOST people in the world. - emotional harm is far worse than physical harm.

    ^ think about it.



  62. 662

    1. wheres the clip
    2. when did this happen?

    psychological abuse is just as bad as physical abuse

    you bully people with your harsh words and shit happens perez! grow some balls!

    where are the pictures lets see your humiliation spread across the net like poor ri ri
    question: when you were getting knocked around did u get hit in the head hard enough to actually develop a concious?

    PEACE :)



  63. 663

    I love you.



  64. 664

    Let it go already, for fuck's sake man! You blubber on and on, no one cares and you make an ass of yourself, you self-important fuck!



  65. 665

    i support you a 100%



  66. 666

    Seriously, the cruel way you abuse people, I'm very surprised you don't travel with security at all times. I'm very surprised the Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher haven't beat you up for the way you abused Rumer for weeks and and months. Why? Because you thought she was ugly. She must have been rude to you at some point. Let's agree on something: Verbal and physical abuse are both wrong and hurtful. You go on drawing dicks on peoples faces and come dripping out of their mouths, and cocaine dripping out of their noses. You're very very lucky something terrible hasn't happened to you. You need to stop picking on people or hire some security!



  67. 667

    Well said. THere are so many losers out there who like to say bad things about you and disslike you. Those same losers are taking the time to go on your website and make harmful remarks. Get a life! You are great, and you seem like a nice person. You have made yourself a well known celebrity for a unique website and sense of humor. WIshing you only the best. Get that ghetto ass dirtball behind bars. What a puss to sucker punch someone. Take care, Rebecca



  68. 668

    I mean, if even Kelly Clarkson, who's one of the nicest person you could ever hear of, has said that you should expect something like this to happen to you, then it's about time you stop throwing up words and start measuring them.



  69. 669

    Please know that not everyone thinks you had it coming. Did that Iranian woman who was shot through the heart have it coming? Would people be celebrating your death if that had been your fate? I sure hope not. I've been on the receiving end of violence and also been demonized, don't let the haters get you down.



  70. 670

    I agree with you entirely about violence. Many people are not fair at all to victims, and like to think that victims somehow deserve what they got. I wonder sometimes if people think this way so that they can somehow believe the world is under control, as in "this could never happen to me like it did to that person because I don't do anything like that to deserve that kind of violence". In that way, any kind of violence or pain seems less random and thus controllable by "us". Or, people just like violence and being mean! Who knows. Either way, I wanted to say that i am glad you wrote this. Life is about learning and life is about growing beyond our mistakes. I like that you wrote you learned more compassion from this experience. If anything, you can walk away from this painful situation with that. You didn't deserve being punched like that. You are right that no one does. Good luck with it all.



  71. 671

    you shitless fucker. u have no balls - da la cara pendejo sucio haha



  72. 672

    That was a sad ass lame attempt at "Im Sorry for using slurs I preach and bash other people for saying"



  73. 673

    just as a fore-note i created my account before this assault and don't think anyone should be assaulted, but when you say negative things about other people, negativity comes right back at you.

    You say that you do not claim to be a spokesperson for the gay community, but you are and you have a responsibility to the gay community that you chose by speaking very publicly, protesting publicly, going on television shows publicly, and giving a very politically charged question during a miss usa pageant. Whether you like it or not, you are a figure of the gay community.



  74. 674

    FUCK YOU! GO DIE YOU FAT PIECE OF HYPO CRITICAL SHIT!



  75. 675

    You frequently criticize other celebs for not doing their part for the gay community by using their "star power" to campaign for gay rights. You show pictures of protests on here and name drop the celebs that are there. You are using celebrity to make a political statement. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. More power to you, but you are CHOOSING to do so. You're being criticized because you said something hurtful. You made a mistake and you are not owning up to it as you should. You are justifyng the hell out of what you did when you don't give that same opportunity to any of the people you trash on your website very publicly.

    Did you ever think about how you verbally assault Miley Cyrus, who is still 16. Or how you judge Lindsay Lohan daily when the negativity thrown at her clearly has a lot to do with her addictions. And these are people younger and less wise than you.

    If you aren't willing to accept that you made your celebrity by being a reality star (all reporters are reality stars even if it's just in print) and that you chose not to draw a line between your personal views and your professional ones, then you need to reevaluate your website because you are being a huge hypocrite. Shame on you. Your voice reaches millions and you should know your responsibilities. You fought hatred with hatred and that makes you a fool. Don't try to play the victim when you ACTIVELY participated.



  76. 676

    You're doing the right thing Perez!



  77. 677

    Re: greece – were you saying that when he wrote what he did about Lily Allen's miscarriage. This whole arguement of if you don't like what he say than leave can be turned around to Perez. "If he doesn't like the BEP he shouldn't write about them."



  78. 678

    I agree, no matter what the situation, no one should ever touch anyone else in a violent manner. I'm sorry that this happened to you, and I'm sorry for anyone else it has ever happened to. No one ever "has it coming". No one should ever be hit.



  79. 679

    THAT WAS PERHAPS, THE MOST NARCISSISTIC APOLOGY IN AMERICAN HISTORY. AND YES…MANY, MANY TIMES, SOMEONE "HAS IT COMING." THAT WILL NEVER, AND SHOULD NEVER CHANGE.

    This is powerful, don't listen to any of the comments below. Anyone who says your full of shit or w.e can never truly speak for you and I'm sure you know that. You know your own truth, no one else can choose that for you. As for karma, it leads itself in one direction. This couldn't have been karma, for if it were… it wouldn't have allowed a continuation of the ongoing problem. Once karma as taken place, the problem should then fade.

    None of this is the answer physical or verbal. None of it. No one won in this situation.



  83. 683

    Who you are as a person and what you do for a living are NOT separate and they can never be. No matter how many times you might utter those words, they simply are not true.

    And one more thing, I find it very interesting that people WHO COME TO YOUR SITE believe that you deserve violence because of the bad things you have said. If people don't like it, THEN DON'T COME TO THIS WEBSITE! And, you know, there are many assholes out there that say evil horrible things. But I still would not think they deserve to get hit! geeze people!

    Good for you, Mario. Your statement shows that you acknowledge that you are a human being with imperfections and sensitivities just like the rest of us. When I first read of your assault and watched your video post describing what had transpired I have to say I didn't, at first, have much sympathy for you. i wondered why you would have said such an ugly thing to Wil I Am But you have now defended yourself intelligently. We have all been in situations before where we may not have acted in the proudest manner due to the heat of the moment (wether we are in the right or wrong). But violence is NEVER the answer, and no one EVER deserves to be the victim of physical abuse. It is absurd that an "artist" was so on the offense with you that they had to resort to having their friends beat you in the head just to get their anger out. They are obviously the ones with the problem, not you. yes, you said some words that you thought would defend yourself but instead incited a homophobe. But you are a bigger person for acknowledging this. No one is perfect, but now that we know better hopefully we can do better. Thanks…

    Mario I have known you for many years. Everything you wrote is so right.

    Perez, Despite all these IGNORANT HATERS posting comments…you get the last laugh in the end. They just can't quit you.
    Rise above!



  92. 692

    must really suck when someone talks shit about you…
    karma is such a bitch, huh?
    you had it coming.



  93. 693

    FUCK YOU. YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT LYING FAT ASS!



  94. 694

    Mario, iz u editin' my words? Come on, let your 'fans' know how truly evil they are. If it weren't for them, your voice would never be heard. Your hatred would never have a public outlet. Your negativity would eat you from the inside.

    But that's okay. You can express your opinion all day long. It's those who buy into your vileness that should be looking inwards. It's your 'fans' that support your bullying. Since they can't bully others, they live vicariously through you. Yet they don't see themselves as 'bad', but they support your hatred as if they were doing it themselves. They are the ones who enjoy laughing at others, happily, even gleefully, watching as others are 'slammed'. And this is the human race. Sad, really.

    Where in your strange world did you come to the conclusion that you could literally say anything to some one and assume it could not potentially escalate into violence? I've been amazed at how tolerant many celebs have been over the cruel things you have said or written about them. Some times very damaging things. I watched a judge rule against a woman who dared to claim she had been innocently attacked physically. The problem with her cries of being a victim failed because she had so taunted her male neighbor over and over verbally thinking she could get away with it when he finally did lash out he punched her and the judge even admitted she may have done the same thing.

    You spend way too much time justifying your verbal blows directed at people. I believe you are not going to win your case when it's all done and said and you are going to have to learn to reel it in and not believe you can literally say any thing and every thing to a person without the consequence of putting yourself in danger.

    You need to hold yourself accountable for your behavior. In this case I personally believe you provoked every thing and no one was intimidating you. In the one video it sounds like you wouldn't shut your mouth. You are trying too hard to play a victim while you suggest you were verbally continue to victimize people. Best of luck with that because you just aren't getting it.
