Alright, celebrity bloggers are starting to perspire. Let’s face it, everyone is getting sensitive these days. If we weren’t talking about the celebrities, who would care? Anyhow, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton recently accused the Black Eyed Peas manager of hitting him outside a nightclub in Toronto. The civil suit was filed by Mario Lavandeira, the real name of celebrity blogger Perez Hilton who seemingly took on a name close to that of Paris Hilton?
Seems Perez is looking for unspecified damages in excess of $25,000 for battery and emotional distress. He also wants to protect his right to free speech. Perez claims manager Polo Molina attacked him for making critical comments about the new album released by the Black Eyed Peas. The publicist for the Peas hasn’t said much and Molina is scheduled to be back in court on August 5.
Bryan Freedman, attorney for Perez, stated, “Perez Hilton was assaulted by the band’s road manager because he would not agree to stop writing about the Black Eyed Peas on his Web site Perezhilton.com. Whether you love Perez or hate him, he is entitled to his freedom of speech without fear of physical violence. This lawsuit will make the statement that violence is never the answer.”
