Perez Hilton covers the new issue of Advocate magazine and speaks at length about his feelings on the retarded twitter flamewar heard the world over.
There is only so much room in the world for cuss words and hyperbole but frankly, I need neither to post about this. In the article below, Hilton is reported as saying that in the heat of the moment, when in an altercation with the BEPs crew, he nearly yelled out the N word (rather than yelling f*gg*t).
Yes. He makes it sound as though the only lesson learned in this developmentally-challenged after school special, is that when you wanna get bum rushed, the F word is prolly a better option – as you’ll actually walk away alive after yelling it.
I’m gonna go and scream the word Douche outta my window now. Take some Pepto. peeps, and check out the bile-inducing quotes. (N word quote in bold)
In the new profile by Boston-based gaypert Benoit-Denizet Lewis, he vicious and rotund self-ascribed Queen of All Media practically pleads with his interviewer to please accept him as a Righteous Gay. The Advocate story was written and filed before The Incident, but Denizet-Lewis has spoken to Hilton since and added his quotes to the online version of the article. Hilton, never the intellectual high jumper, buried himself even deeper:
“But Perez tells me that, in the heat of the moment that night, he almost chose to use a different word. “I thought about calling him the n word,” he says over the phone a week after the incident, “but I thought the f word was even worse. I was so filled with hate at that moment because I was hated on so much, and I reacted in the worst way possible. Then I went on to make a bunch of other mistakes. I shouldn’t have made the video. I shouldn’t have released so many statements.”
“But what’s come out of all of this is that I’ve learned so much about myself, and I’m in a much better place. I’m actually thankful that it happened. As cheesy as it may sound, I had almost a spiritual moment when I just let all of the anger and worry go and am now filled with peace, happiness, and wisdom.” (Via Gawker)
this whole sitch is getting said. he can’t seem to let it go, and saying that he wishes he would have yelled the n word. i can guarntee you if he would’ve that would’ve been a whole can of worms he would not have been abke to handle. just ask other public figures that have yelled it out
He would have left the fight minus a few front teefs. The guy is a moron if he thinks that would have given him an edge in a fight.. Sweet Christ. How on earth he keeps getting away with these soundbites is beyond me.
I’m over the queen. And it’s frightfully sad when a queen is over another queen who got beat.
Next…
He waited until people got over it and then made an even worse statement. Sigh. Agreed… next.
When you go out of your way to push buttons and antagonize, be prepared to fight. No one’s above an asswhuppin.
That sow gets no love from me.
I am past supporting his bowel movement of a site. He was getting flamed so hard earlier on Twitter over this. He’s being called a racist by celebs on there. Ha. Serves him right.

You know, I’ve been plenty angry at plenty of people. I’ve cussed plenty of people out, wisely or otherwise, in the heat of anger or after having all afternoon to come up with the right phrases. And NEVER has it occurred to me to include a person’s racial, ethnic, gender, sexual-orientation, shoe size, or weight in any of those cusses. Furthermore, it’s never even *slipped* out – because I don’t think in those terms.
I suppose I was very fortunate to be raised in an environment where that wasn’t how people were judged. I never even *heard* the N-word until we were reading Huckleberry Finn in fifth grade. (For that matter, people were passing around one of the Judy Bloom books in 8th grade, and I was completely lost on the sex passages. “What does this mean? ‘I’m going to come’ where??”)
So maybe I shouldn’t be so hard on the guy – maybe if I HAD been exposed to it, from an early age, I’d fight it too. But honest to God, it is simply appalling to me that he’s going to go public and say, “Well, I was mulling over my choice of epithets, and instead of saying something about his BEHAVIOR or the actual thing that I was ANGRY about, I decided to go for something that he has no control over.”
If you have enough time to think about which slur you’re going to hurl at someone, you have enough time to decide not to use any of them. Grow up, Perez. You’re filled with something, all right, but it is damn sure not wisdom.
I agree this quote is beyond bizarre. Who has that kind of thinking-time in the “heat of the moment”. It isn’t really heat of the moment if you have time to mull stuff like this over. I love the commentary of the person who wrote the article. They are right, Hilton lacks the cognizance to even explain this one.
