Perez Hilton’s Apology To Britney Spears Rejected By Her Fans
After Perez Hilton posted an apology video on YouTube called “My Message To Britney Spears And The Free Britney Movement,” Britney fans didn’t buy his apology, as he previously mocked and shunned the singer countless times throughout her career in the past.
The 43-year-old gossip blogger wore a shirt with Britney’s face on it, saying, “First, I’m sorry to Britney Spears. I’ve apologized so many times and I will continue to apologize for my past coverage and treatment of her.”
He continued, “Today, I have been getting so much hate and bullying from people who were and are upset about how I used to talk about Britney Spears. So my message to all of those people is, ‘F— you.’ It just does not compute that you’re going to bully someone for bullying somebody in the past. How does that make you any better than what I did? It doesn’t! Thankfully, I fully own how reprehensible I used to be back in the day. I can see it, I can acknowledge it and I carry with me deep shame and regret. Especially knowing that I contributed to Britney Spears’ pain.”
He also took to Twitter writing, “The media is trying to claim that I called #BritneySpears an embarrassment in my memoir last year. Yes, I did technically write that – WHILE TALKING ABOUT THE PAST and immediately expressing regret that I used to think this way! This is what I really said. #FreeBritney“

Fans rallying behind Britney Spears called out Perez Hilton, After what we saw today, we should all be supporting Britney at this time.
Regardless of our past, good and bad, and no matter how long ago it was… what’s happening to her is just not right.
No woman should ever be restricted from making decisions about her own body.

I’ve been waiting for that man to be held accountable for his actions, Perez Hilton was a nightmare in the 2000’s. Literally built a career off of body shaming, belittling and stalking women in the industry. So many people have cited his actions as a source of trauma for them 😒

Perez Hilton SPENT years terrorizing Britney Spears. He can go to H*LL. No one cares about what he has to say now about her at this point.

It’s really infuriating how people will add and aid your abuse/mistreatment then pretend they care about your safety and wellbeing. US, Justin Timberlake and Perez Hilton’s tweets about Britney are perfect examples of that. https://t.co/YhYm3xqCuH
