Perez Hilton's Insensitive Michael Jackson Coverage Backfires
By Allen Starbury ♦ Published 06/26/2009

2009-06-26 - Perez Hilton and Michael JacksonEveryone was shocked Thursday (June 25) when news of Michael Jackson's heart attack was reported, followed by reports of his death.

While some were sadden, others were outraged when blogger Perez Hilton posted an entry on his website, claiming Jackson's hospital admission was fake, so the King of Pop could bail on concert commitments.

However, upon learning the heart attack was very much real and that MJ had died hours later, Hilton edited his post, removing the insensitive comments.

But, the damage was done though. A trending topic appeared on Twitter called #unfollowperezz, where users unfollowed his account and expressed his distaste for his comments.

Rocker Pete Wentz blasted Hilton as well, and the two exchanged words numerous times throughout the day over the blogger's insensitivity.

Comedienne Sarah Silverman tweeted an ill-timed joke about MJ's death as well: "Did you hear Michael Jackson's kids are free? That's not nice. I'm sorry. Ugh, I feel bad for saying that. LOOK A BLUE CAR!"

Being the hypocrite he is, Hilton immediately chastised her: "I love you, but that's low!"

Support the Twitter movement: #unfollowperez

    if blame just has to be placed, its the american public that did wrong by writing his paychecks...

    Perez's comments are very distasteful. I mean, who is he? other than a loser who claims to be a celibrity reporter. Don't get it. He is mr. Nobody.

  • karl anglin

    Perez Hilton is perez Hilton.

    Enough said!

  • mjfan

    perez was very insensitive for the MJ comments.you dont say things like that unless you have facts to back it up. He also put his foot in his mouth calling Will i am a faggot. aNy GBLQT knows that word is unacceptable and not tolerated. he's a big hypocrite he bashed isiah washington for allegedly using it and then he does the same thing. he gets the big L.

  • jaxio

    perez hilton what the hell are you doing boohooing about "where is the love?" after you got "boom, boom, powed?!" u ass? it is the lack of tact and your ignorance that has you and that skanky idiot silverman opening up your mouths and letting out pure stupidity. you should get another shiner and she should keep getting strung along by kimmel, she is garbage that no one will take seriously. Maybe that is why she is a hater!

  • jenjen
