Perez Hilton regrets how he treated Britney Spears. Fans say he’s not that innocent

Add Perez Hilton to the growing list of celebrities who are reassessing — and apologizing for — how they’ve treated pop star Britney Spears over the years.

Appearing on Sky News Wednesday, the gossip blogger (real name: Mario Lavandeira) told host Kay Burley that he “carries deep shame and regret” for how he mocked Spears on his website.

“I can’t say I was just young and dumb. I think we know a lot more. And initially, many folks, myself included, were shocked and alarmed and especially concerned for her young children,” he said.

“I know I did not express myself as well as I could have. I didn’t lead with empathy and compassion, which thankfully seems like most people now are understanding the severity of Britney’s situation. I absolutely apologize and carry deep shame and regret.”

His apology comes on the heels of explosive news out of Spears’ Wednesday court hearing. Appearing via phone, the singer pleaded her case in a Los Angeles courtroom to make it clear that she wants to end her conservatorship that has been in place for the last 13 years.

After Spears revealed that she is not OK — “I’m so angry it’s insane,” she said at one point — celebrities including Cher, Mariah Carey, Andy Cohen, Halsey and others immediately voiced their support online.

Meanwhile, Hilton’s sudden change of heart strikes some as dubious. After the premiere of the recent documentary “Framing Britney Spears,” which examined the artist’s history with the media and her public struggles, Hilton disparaged her mental health. In 2007, after the erratic public behavior that led to her conservatorship, he called Spears an “unfit mother” on his site.

He even made T-shirts that read “Why wasn’t it Britney?” after actor Heath Ledger died in 2008.

In his 2020 memoir, “TMI: My Life in Scandal,” Hilton referred to the “Oops! … I Did it Again” singer as “an embarrassment” and said he thought her instability was due to her party lifestyle, rather than mental-health concerns.

Now Hilton is working overtime to show that he’s fully behind Spears with posts using the #FreeBritney hashtag and other cheerleading content on his Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Spears’ fans aren’t buying it, though. As the #FreeBritney movement ramps up after Wednesday’s hearing, her supporters are neither forgiving nor forgetting Hilton’s past behavior.

“Do you not remember the career you built on her back? Or the ways you demonized her?” author Roxane Gay responded to one of Hilton’s latest tweets.

“Great question,” Hilton wrote back to Gay. “I answer that here.” He then linked to a nearly 20-minute explanation video he posted to YouTube on Wednesday. – Source
