Perez Hilton says he feels really, really, really bad about all the horrible terrible things he’s ever said about Britney Spears.
“I regret a lot or most of what I said about Britney,” the out blogger told Good Morning Britain this week, “as I’m sure Piers [Morgan] would if he were her about things he’s said in the past.”
“Thankfully, hopefully, many of us get older and wiser,” he added.
The celebrity gossip blogger was talking about the recent documentary Framing Britney Spears, which documented the years of abuse the pop princess suffered at the hands of fans, her father, the media, and, of course, Perez himself.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
During Britney’s apex, he would regularly mock her alleged addiction issues, accused her of being an unfit mother, circulated rumors about a bogus sex tape, and, in 2008, shortly after actor Heath Ledger died, marketed a t-shirt with an image from Brokeback Mountain along with the phrase “Why couldn’t it have been Britney?”
“I think a lot of people just want to blame this person and that person, and it’s not as simple as that,” Perez said.

In a followup interview with the podcast Chanel In The City with Chanel Omari, he claimed to have apologized to Spears last year for everything that he did.
“I have also apologized privately recently before the documentary, I don’t want to get into details, but I did apologize to Britney recently,” Perez told Omari.
After saying he didn’t want to “go into details,” he then went into details, saying he suffered an “emotional break” in December and decided to reach out to the singer.
“One of the things that I wanted to do, my idea, not even my therapist’s was, I felt it was important for me. It’s kind of like the things that people often do in 12 step programs. You know, they’ll, they’ll reach out to people that they have wronged and apologize,” he explained.
“Even though I had apologized before, there’s nothing wrong with apologizing again or differently. So I did. And she was one of the few people that I reached out to in December.”
Speaking about apologies, in general, Perez said, “It seems like so many people don’t want to give others the opportunity to be remorseful and sincere and grow and learn from their mistakes.”

People forgave Elton Johnny more than once, so why not him?
Ronbo
Oh, play nice. Elton is still mourning the death of his good friend and patron Rush Limbaugh. He’s was in a black mood when tRump lost and it’s wrong to pile on when hero’s are falling away,

Perez is a horrible human being. Hasn’t society canceled him yet?
Openminded
How is it people in this world will look down their nose at a garbage collector doing his job and then turn around and support gossip bloggers and influencers? Too many people are getting paid big bucks to contribute nothing to society while so many others are working their asses off for minimum wage that won’t provide even a minimum living standard. If it were up to me, people like Perez Hilton wouldn’t even be given the ink required to write about them. Quit supporting gossip bloggers and influencers.

Actually it’s only Republican trolls like you that look down on garbage collectors.

He wouldn’t have to apologize if he didn’t have followers. He should apologize to his followers, for making them losers

I used to read his column but it was the Brittney stuff that made me quit cold turkey. He was gleefully posting the latest information about her along with fake messages like “Get better, Brittney!” at the same time he was selling T-shirts that she was crazy. I finally wised up and realized he had a financial interest in her appearing to be unbalanced despite his fake comments about support.

Not like he’s offering to donate all the money he made off Britney…
Unlike others this pig made his fortune trashing Brit.

Miserable!!!!

He’s gone from a no-talent narcissistic fame whore to a no-talent narcissistic martyr. He’s just disgusting in every way. He definitely caused a lot of pain for a lot of people. And yet, they are still fabulous (Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Neil Patrick-Harris, Lance Bass)…..and Perez Hilton is … irrelevant.
Cam
He also used to attack Evan Rachel Wood when she started dating Marilyn Manson. I guess Hilton liked Manson’s ex better so he kept referring to Wood as “Evan Rachel Whore”.
He was vicious when he was popular.

Obscurity would quickly devour this excrement if sites like Queerty would stop giving air to his worthless musings/complaints.
Blech. Blech. Triple Blech.
