This was great! I'm excited for part 2!!

[@betheecommentator]

Oh wow, thank you Perez for watching and commenting. I’m glad you enjoyed part I. Just as a heads up, part II does show more of your “controversial” side that I’m sure isn’t fun to rehash but it is done with respect, balance, and will include the point in which you pivoted your content. Again, thanks for watching and supporting. I enjoyed covering your story. I learned so much. Have a great day ❤

[@jenniferstewart9012]

The fact that after being bullied you chose to become a bully is mind blowing Your mother loving her husband so much is so heart touching in this day and age you don't hear wives speaking like that

He totally lost me when he thought his job was to out different people for being gay. I was done. I don’t care how famous the person is, no one should publicly be outed without the person’s permission. That was wrong and will always be wrong.

[@betheecommentator]

Completely agree!!!!!

[@JaceReboot]

As an openly out queer person I grasp its deeply personal who/when/and even if ya come out. One would assume Perez would know too being also gay...but nope. He is too dumb to grasp bein a minority doesn't give one a free pass to harass or demean others in that group.

I remember being a child and going on this website everyday for the gossip. Once he started tearing Britney down I knew I had to stop. He was so hurtful for no reason to so many people.

[@betheecommentator]

I’m guilty too. But like you, I quickly realized how negative and toxic it was so I stopped. The magazines and media weren’t any better.

[@debbiemckeown7626]

He was posting free Britney acting like he wasn’t horrible to her. The day she jumped in to the car and drove off with Preston in her lap you could tell she was terrified because of the press hounding her and she wanted away from them as quickly as possible. It wasn’t the best decision but I can see why she did it in a panic.

[@thetruesoulofanaquarius9302]

I remember when Perez Hilton was such an mean insecure bully. He took out his insecurities and self hate issues on other people/celebs. You know he was bad when he asked Mischa Burton to forgive him and she was pretty much like yeah no. Lol

[@mel1v]

Gossip in Latin communities is one of the most unbearable things for those of us born into it. This obsession with treating other people’s lives as entertainment and not respecting at all privacy is a form of verbal abuse that is culturally accepted. This guy is a clear example of how bad it is and how much harm it does. I’ve had “friends”, family members, coworkers, classmates that behave like this… the damage they’ve caused is just like a force of nature…

[@realiteaparody9198]

[@catherinewellmon2773]

Funny how back in the 70s, bc I was a teen in the 70s, this was completely acceptable, I would've lost my mind if any of my 4 girls were involved with a man as young teens, and I would definitely have gone after his predatory butt

[@debbiebasche5337]

That was considered normal in the 70's..... 16 was considered the age of consent...still is in some states and alot of other countries throughout the world 🌍

[@terroraustralia]

Perez used to body shame and destroy female celebrities back in 2005 - 2006 and so on. He was a hateful and nasty man that destroyed women. It’s tragic that he had a very traumatic childhood. That doesn’t excuse what he did and said whilst running a gossip website. I do hope he has grown. But he made so many girls and women into jokes so he could gain clout.

[@betheecommentator]

Very true. When we get into part II you’ll see if went beyond 2006, sadly.

[@peachyy666]

The early 2000's were like the dark ages, just incredibly vile in so many ways

[@betheecommentator]

Omg yes, media and entertainment news was brutal.

[@sugma148]

I relate to Perez as a latin person with a toxic and narcissistic mother. My mother also had her first at 18, and me at 34, but she was like a child when she raised me. She told me at a young age about her sexual life, her problems, and I felt like I couldn’t express myself and be a child. She would callously point out my flaws and once did it in a restaurant full of people, in front of her boyfriend at the time and his son who was like a big brother to me. It was humiliating and she was aggressive when she wanted to be. Now she relies on me financially and is annoying as hell in the way she just keeps repeating the same shit from the past and doesn’t seem to care about me and my problems like back then. So I get Perez and his struggles- but unlike him, I didn’t turn this into bullying or abusing others. I decided to not have children and focus on myself.

[@brittanyw7546]

His sense of entitlement is staggering.

[@geminiflame_]

OMG I'm literally watching this right now and I AGREE!!! I can't believe how everything is just "me me me me", he's so dismissive of his mom and villainizes her so much, sheesh. She lost her husband and clearly going through depression/super rough time but please, let's ignore her pain completely and make it about u.....like????🙄 Don't get me wrong - I get she had her faults. Not saying she's perfect💯

[@HanasRoom]

Perez wanted to make others feel horrible because he felt horrible. And then at some point fame fueled that behavior and it became it’s own monster. He’s cruel and caused so much trauma for so many people.

[@betheecommentator]

Yes, misery loves company. You can’t have a strong sense of self and treat people the way that he did. His story reinforces how important self love is, in my opinion.

For some reason, even seeing the more personal side of Perez, he still doesn’t seem genuine to me. Maybe it’s too little too late, but even hearing about his background and seeing his interactions with his mom I’m still not a fan.

[@davidblank420]

Get bullied until you can be in a position to bully others. Great message.

[@PoopiGirl.23]

“In Cuban families the boys don’t play with dolls” 🙄Nice to see Perez inherited his ability to deny reality from his mother.

[@beth-bi9yv]

Truly cruel person. The trauma from childhood is horrible but what he's chosen to do as an adult is reprehensible.

[@tashibalampkin8555]

4:30 I'm with the mother in that instance. If I found my child thinks playing involves "taking off clothes," I would be very concerned. I would be thinking "why do they think that's ok, did they learn this from somewhere, I may need to talk about them about what is acceptable, and what's not," etc.

[@betheecommentator]

Very good point!

[@elirodri835]

I agree with you I don’t think it was about sexuality if not inappropriate for that age.

[@fbitchesbuyhouseplants6454]

Sloan did a podcast episode with him recently and it seemed like he wasn’t sorry and really didn’t care to take accountability like he should. He just admitted that he did it and shouldn’t have. Didn’t seem like it came from his heart

[@betheecommentator]

There seems to be a script that he sticks to when confronted about his past. I’m not saying it’s a good or bad thing. Just that upon watching several interviews of Perez, whenever he’s confronted about his past, his response is the same.

[@s.v.2796]

As a Latina i can verify the gossipy culture. Hilton is wrong about the negative aspects of gossip. It treats family apart. My Tias gossiped so much my father wouldn't let them use the phone when at my house. (This is in the time before cell phones.) I also have seen the destruction in my own family. So we try really hard to separate factual news from gossip.

[@cageybee1154]

I actually have a lot in common with him: his Mom reminds me of my own: a "cold", "distant" immigrant. My Mom was actually a bit more harsh, but I eventually got to know her as a person, and figured out she had CPTSD from an incredibly violent war torn childhood. She was not the sweet hugging supportive American Mommy I (only) saw on television. 80's & 90's kids were pretty awful: they'd bully anyone who wasn't "normal". All of those things made me develop an aversion towards gossip and bullying, so I was never a fan of his. He brought celebrity gossip to a whole new level. People ate it up too. Do I sympathize? I'll give him the same sympathy he gave others. I'll skip the cruelty, though.

[@HummingbirdEighty8]

His mom was a narcissist. The way she responded to his gift! I understand just how terrible he felt, because of my own mother. My heart breaks for him as a child. But I didn't become a bully, and neither did other kids like us. He had a choice, as an adult, to become the best person he could be. But he chose to bully and demean everyone he could. That is totally on him.🕊

[@radicalreactions1633]

He turned into his mother.

I remember as a young girl my sisters always going to Perez's website for the latest "white gossip" they called it, being black obviously we had our own community drama and we tuned into Wendy Williams, but we loved Perez. When he said all that disturbing stuff about Britney Spears however, that's when we stopped paying attention to Perez. Which was around the same time that Wendy outted Method Mans wife for having cancer so we stopped tuning into both. This man's hatred towards women clearly stems from his mother, i kinda figured that growing up but seeing this video confirmed it. His mom seemed like a peiece of work so he took that anger and hurt out onto others Amazing job, per usual Bee! You stay making great content.

[@dasiareed2708]

He hasn’t changed he still acts like a bully

[@purplepickles2.078]

I visited his site a few times way, way back, a long time ago but stopped because I found him so completely repulsive, aggressive and just a very nasty person. The thought of this type of person having children in his care is highly disturbing and deeply concerning to me.

[@betheecommentator]

Thanks for watching!

[@pinkishpoo]

I thought the same. Evil people like him should be denied adoption. He will hurt his children tjust like his narcisstic mother hurt him. He continues the sick cycle.

[@sss_Shaq1496]

Great video, Be!! Early 2000's celebrity culture was so incredibly toxic between paparazzi and blogs. Perez definitely goes down in history as a significant contributor to ruining many celebrities' mental health. Something curious is the people that choose to be friends with him; I wonder if they thought that by being friends with Perez, he wouldn't post about them. I would have lost my f***ing mind if a "friend" posted about me like that lol. Very excited for part 2!!

In the Cuban community gossip is permissible, but usually only for women, so Mr. Hilton is not correct when he says that in the Cuban community gossip or chisme is not a bad thing. It is very much a bad thing to be called a chismoso if you’re a guy.

I was in my early 20’s when Perez was at the top of his game, I would visit his website almost hourly but then after some time the bullying made me feel gross. I never looked into him as a person. It all makes so much sense now. I see a lot of people coming for him in comment section and they’re well within their right, but I pity him. He’s perpetuating a horrible cycle rather than breaking it. BTW I love your content so much! You present the facts, in-depth and without emotion or personal bias which is a rarity these days. And you don’t hop on the trend train! While most creators are beating the Ballinger incident to death you’re giving us something we never knew we needed!

I’ve been waiting for you to drop a new video. I loveee your content!!… so I got to meet him some years back and his tv personality was NOTHINGGG like his real life personality. Perez was actually polite and friendly and had I not been good at recognizing faces especially in the setting that we were in, I would’ve overlooked him as just another regular person because that’s how blended in he was with us regular people. We even sat down and had a convo and I asked him “would you still do reality gossip news??” And his response was “ well no, I’m actually going in a more positive direction and looking to explore other avenues and ideas I’ve been sitting on for awhile.” And he said this so calmly and respectfully. We talked a little more which I can’t exactly remember the convo but I definitely do remember that specific part of our conversation.

[@betheecommentator]

I really disliked Perez in the day. I’ll never forget how he went after Rumor Willis’s looks. He was relentless calling her moon pie face, just tearing her to shreds, oh & she was just a kid, a minor. So hateful. Plus I didn’t Like how he outed people. Funny but as soon as he got a kid he tried to turn himself into a decent person. I don’t believe it for a second.

[@betheecommentator]

Yes, he went after minors all the time. That’s something we’ll address in part II

[@ambera5448]

I really enjoyed part one! I think you did a fantastic job :) I eagerly look forward to part 2 - when do you intend to release it?1? Perez definitely had some troubling behaviour in the past past but , it's truly inspiring to witness his growth

[@betheecommentator]

Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it. The video is currently going through KZbin checks. So, if all goes well, it should be out soon 🤞

[@jessi5401]

LOVE your videos, you do an incredible job with research and the overall flow of your storytelling. I was around for the heyday of Perez Hilton and would hate read it, even though I was firmly a D-Listed fan. Perez was an absolutely disgusting bully. Amazing watching him as an older man recounting his childhood experiences with being bullied and outcast, yet he lacks the self awareness to admit that he repeated the cycle with his own blog.

[@betheecommentator]

Thank you so much for your feedback!!

[@dimplesd8931]

Leave it to BTC to humanize Perez Hilton. I was there as a spectator for his rise and have also seen how mean and horrible he has been to those he covered. It seems in the 90’s-early 2000’s it was sport to be mean to celebrities, like Wendy Williams and Joan Rivers did. Now that I’ve watched Be’s content I see the this is behavior is the result of a lot of childhood trauma. Doesn’t make it right but it explains it. Looking forward to part II.

[@betheecommentator]

Thank you so much for watching. I completely agree with everything you said. It absolutely does not excuse his behavior but it makes you go “hmmm” it puts it all into perspective. Part II is on the way! Thanks for your continued support ❤️

Perez had one thing going for him that really allowed him to not only win the gossip wars, but also destroy various celebs without consequence. His alliance with Paris Hilton. You neglected to mention that how Perez actually got his name, which is important to this. In NYC Paris was slated to host a party at a club Mario was at and she no showed. Drunk off his ass, Mario stormed the stage and yelled "FORGET PARIS HILTON, PEREZ HILTON'S IN THE HOUSE!" Crowd cheered, and he kept the name moving forward. Paris had him by the balls legally and basically used him to destroy various celebrities that she hated. Most notably Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and of course Lindsay Lohan. He also actively covered up Paris's very vocal hatred for gays while accusing said starlets of the same. This alliance more or less made him but his future alliances with Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift created similar situations where he actively destroyed people that those 2 hated as well. (Xtina became "FLOPtina" to appease Gaga and Swifty got Perez to destroy every guy she banged and slut shame their later girlfriends.) Now one would think Perez would despise himself for that, but he went after so many stars on his own with glee that I don't think he ever had a problem with doing it for others so long as they kept inviting him to lavish drug fuelled parties.

[@betheecommentator]

Did I not mention that? It’s been awhile and I can’t remember if I discussed that or not but yes you’re right, his connection to Paris Hilton was a huge asset. And yes I discuss how Perez sabotaged celebrities in part II. I don’t go too much into the specifics because that would be to use for another deep dive related specifically to the artist. So I wanted to save that information for future episodes. But you’re absolutely right.

Wow, I have to say I initially thought that she was very cold in that moment and could’ve been more understanding, but your comment showed me a new perspective and now I understand perhaps why she responded the way that she did towards him. Interesting POV. Thank you for sharing!

He was definitely right about getting out of Miami because it definitely was not right for him back then. So interesting to see how he ended up being such a ruthless gossip a bit like Wendy Williams! I'm so looking forward to part two. Thank You Bee for all of the hard work & research you put into all of your deep dive videos.

This is a great deep dive about Perez Hilton’s childhood so we can understand why he did what he did to Hollywood celebrities. He was deeply bullied, hurt,humiliated, and affected his self-concept. Plus, having to go through an abusive, narcissistic mother, who can’t afford to emotionally connect with him or empathize with what he’s going through. It reminds me of my mother and other unconscious adults around me. Healthy attachment is necessary for us to also connect with our future partners and form bonds. Having to endure my own suffering was really a torture. When a child is suffering from chronic stress, trauma, it affects the brain development. Some experts would say it’s brain injury. There’s arrested development at some point. If unresolved, unprocessed, and prevented it can have long-term effect towards adulthood. Trauma can be stored in the mind and body. It will manifest in autoimmune disorders, mental illness, depression, and more. Children who were bullied can become bully and the worst bully for themselves, Subconsciously. 95% of our daily habits is due to our childhood conditioning from 0-7 years old. Mental health professionals are now talking about this. I am fascinated with human behaviour and have empathy for everyone who had to go through our individual painful experiences. I feel for everyone who went through their own difficult experiences. It wasn’t our fault. However, as adults it’s our responsibility to heal ourselves. ❤ The good news is… We can now talk about our difficult emotions because it’s okay. Get help from professionals. Release all the suppressed emotions. His mom and the rest of their generation were not emotionally mature enough to understand the deep psychological effects nor understand that children needs emotional support and validation. I can talk about this topic for hour’s because it’s fascinating. Ahhh! Human condition is amazing. We’re all connected despite our differences. Because. We have more similarities more than anything. Great job. Keep it up!!❤😮🙏🏼 🧿
