The serial celeb critic, antagonist and all out unabashed gossip Perez Hilton, has vowed to stop his bullying ways. The change of heart comes after a surge in teen suicide from bullying and harassment, which served as a wake-up call for the infamous blogger.
Appearing on the talk show “Ellen” Perez was remorseful:
“"Over the last two weeks, I have been doing everything I can to bring awareness to the issue of teen suicides and gay bullying," Hilton told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. "In doing so, a lot of people have called me a hypocrite and a bully myself and a big one. That's not how I want to be perceived, and that's not what I want to put out there into the world. It was a big wake-up call that so many people saw me that way, so from now on I really want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem."
DeGeneres revealed that her advisers had asked her to cancel Hilton’s appearance on her hit show, but she countered that changes of heart were OK in her book, and congratulated the star blogger for being able to admit his wrong actions.
The blogger has vowed to overhaul his website and the way he works. "I'm not going to call people nasty nicknames. I'm not going to go the mean route. I'm going to force myself to try and be funnier or smarter or just do things different, not doodle inappropriate things, not out people, which I have done all of those things in the past."
