The Lorenzo XPERIENCE

By now you have all heard about Perez Hilton getting hit by the manager of the Black Eyed Peas. Do you know his name? I don’t. Nor do I have the desire to.

Perez Hilton write about everyone and anyone he wishes. It’s his site. He can say what he wants. Can he be hurtful? Yes. Can he be biased? Yes! He is allowed to be biased! It’s not like he is CNN or MSNBC. My point is that he is and should be allowed to say whatever he wants without having to fear physical retaliation.

Will.I.Am may have had just cause for being offended but did it give him the right to try and intimidate Perez Hilton? I know a lot of people would actually answer, “yes” to this question. And that’s the problem. We often get upset about what people say about us. If you feel somebody offended you and it bothers you to a point that you need to take it up with that person, the proper way to go about it would be to calmly discuss how you feel. And in most cases you will just have to agree to disagree. Swallow your pride and walk away.

In this case Perez Hilton wrongfully retaliated by calling Will.I.Am a “faggot”. I hate this word. I have been called this word and it did crush my heart to hear Perez, who I am a huge fan of, say it. However, I can understand where he was coming from as well. He felt he needed to defend himself and was trying to do whatever he could to make Will.I.Am feel the way he did.

For your information, I like the Black Eyed Peas AND Perez Hilton.

I think people who keep saying “he had it coming” are
A) stupid because violence is never the answer
B) Will.I.Am isn’t even the one who hit him.
It was some stupid loser who doesn’t know how to manage his testosterone

Perez apologized numerous times to the gay community and anyone he hurt or offended. I accept his apology, but quite frankly, for me, none was needed.

Chin up Perez!
