When Heath Ledger died in 2008, Perez Hilton sold t-shirts that said "It be Britney." He called her a "ghetto princess" and also called her an unfit mother when she was going through a mental health crisis. He also posted obscure photos of Miley Cyrus underage. But he was a large part of the motion behind the years of targeted harassment campaigns to so many young celebrities, including but not limited to, yes, Britney Spears, but Lindsay Lohan, Hilton as well, as they were spiraling straight to the bottom. He made that website that got millions of views a month and bragged about what he was doing to them. Ireland Baldwin, daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, this week joined the polarized chorus of people who recognize Hilton's struggle while being unwilling to forget the past. "Perez Hilton has publicly humiliated my family for years, sexualized me from a young age, commented on my weight and body (as a child)," Baldwin said on Instagram on Wednesday, saying that he has "always been a despicable being." And never let up for years. He didn't always stop at women. Don't worry, he literally outed Lance Bass and Neil Patrick Harris in the early 2000s, which that's bad to do at any point, but especially in the early 2000s. So what are my personal thoughts on the matter? I think if Perez Hilton was watching this, he would never let up on himself. And he should be lucky that the rest of us aren't Perez Hilton. And I also think it's really telling that requests that I speak on issues like this, I go to their profile to try and get more information, see if they've ever reposted anything about men's mental health. Nothing. Once again, they only care about mental health when it's to weaponize it to try and harass women, just like Perez himself. So do I think any crisis like this is terrible? Yes. As far as response, I think you do kinda reap what you sow in this world. And when I had to put down Leonard this week, I had nothing but love and light from everyone I know. An inbox full of messages and support. And I think it's not shocking that no one is supporting this man.
