Perez Hilton is accusing the Black Eyed Peas frontman, Will.I.Am, of assaulting him outside a Toronto club in an after-party for the MuchMusic Video Awards where Perez was a presenter.
According to his account, he was first confronted by Fergie for the negative posts Perez wrote about her. He’s called her fugly on several occasions. After that, Will.I.Am came up to him and asked him right to his face never to write about Black Eyed Peas in his blog again. Enraged, Perez called the frontman a “faggot”, and left the club after. Upon stepping out of the club, he was hit in the right eye by the band’s manager, 2-3 times according to Perez.
Watch an emotional video from Perez detailing what happened. Warning: the video contains explicit language.
And here is a video from Will.I.Am himself, denying Perez’ allegations of an assault. I believe he’s claiming a random fan attacked the blogger. Duh!
I believe Perez more than Will.I.Am. He’s right, he doesn’t need any press so there’s no reason for him to make things up. And violence should never be the answer to anything. Bloggers are entitled to their opinion. Sure, Perez dishes it out more “eloquently”. He says things hurtful at times. But that is not enough reason to hit him. The “faggot” thing is just way too bad. He shouldn’t have said that at all. Again, hitting him should never have been the answer to it.
People these days…
