Perez Hilton Suing Other Bloggers For Defamation

See More... The self claimed ‘Queen of all Media’ Perez HIlton, A.K.A Mario Lavandeira is suing fellow celebrity gossip bloggers.

Perez, who has made a name for himself drawing sperm and cocaine coming out of celebrities’ mouths and nostrils, has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against failed blogger Jonathan Jaxson (real name: Jonathan Lewandowski) and 25 other unnamed bloggers for defaming him.

The lawsuit is based on claims Jaxson made in February that Hilton asked him to send a video of Jaxson masturbating in exchange for celebrity tips and rumors that Jaxson could publish on his blog. Jaxson alleged back then that he sent in the masturbation video, but Perez never kept his end of the bargain. Lewandowski also claimed the pair had dated and had sex. Perez says no way to all that. He complains that he’s “suffered loss of his reputation, shame, and mortification” and “mental anguish.” No money is mentioned but Lavandeira is seeking punitive, general, and special damages, plus the reimbursement of his legal fees.

In his complaint Perez asserts that Jaxson’s claims “expose [him] to hatred, contempt, ridicule, and obloquy. Yeah I know, I had to look it up too. It basically means a state of disgrace caused by abuse.

Another thing Jaxson did which pissed Perez off was publish his phone number on his Website, asking readers to wish Perez “a belated Happy Birthday”. The complaint alleges that 25 other sites and blogs also published Perez’s number, resulting in Perez receiving “over one thousand calls on his private cell phone (which he also uses for business), causing Lavandeira to sustain extreme interference with his business, including the Website, and suffer a loss of productivity by virtue of having his cell phone ringing non-stop since the publication was made.

Jaxson says his version of events is true and that his computer still contains the original chat transcripts between him and Perez.

“Instead of Perez spending time taking lie detector tests for Us Weekly to prove he kissed John Mayer … he should take a lie detector test proving he never asked for jack-off videos from myself in exchange for some sort of celebrity bit to benefit my website or for counseling me on how to become the next porn star and make me famous.”

My take on the entire story is that this is just another grab for more publicity from Perez. I rarely check his blog out, but I have done lately, when stories of his broadening media interest arise. Something I have noticed, is that his posts have got a lot weaker and his site and style has become far more commercial. If anything, he has lost his edge, if he ever really had one.

So I’d say this has very little basis in fact and is all nothing more then to get blogs and others to report, especially considering the irony of the entire claims. Everyone knows Perez is a frustrated Celeb Wannabe.

Oh, and did I mention a Fagadelic Fudgerigar??

Probably best not to mention this!

  • I agree with Staralicious %100 percent!!
    .
    Perez Hilton's posts have become
    so very weak and tired for the most part.
    .
    He has lost his cutting edge for sure.
    .
    More than a few Dotspotter sites
    are frankly outdoing the Queen of
    All Media these days.
    .
    Perez is so busy trying to be a star
    he forgot how to be a gossip blogger.
    .
    My own site and many others are
    more interesting and entertaining
    than the current state of perezhilton.com.
    .
    Perez forgot the old saying,
    "Dance with the one who brought you."
    .
    When a reporter wants to be
    their own story,
    no one wants
    to read that story
    over and over.
    And over.
    .
    Oooo, I'm being mean.
    So sue me!
