Perez Hilton goes on another bizarre rant about Britney Spears, gets slammed
Perez Hilton has gone on another bizarre rant about the ongoing controversy surrounding pop star Britney Spears, and is being slammed for it.
"You are starting to sound a lot like your f---ing idiot president," one fan commented on his latest video where he talked about his Twitter spat with Spears' former manager Sam Lufti.
Hilton has been commenting regularly on the current situation with Spears and the Free Britney movement.
Spears, who announced that she was checking herself into a mental care facility on April 4, recently resurfaced on social media after fans alleged that she was being held against her will in the facility. Fans even staged a protest in Los Angeles in an effort to "free" Spears on Monday. She alleged that Lufti, who was fired from her team years ago was the one who circulated fake emails that said that her parents had a "plot to send me away". These emails first made their way to tabloids in 2007 for the first time have fueled the fire of the current Free Britney movement. Britney's mother, Lynn Spears also filed a restraining order against Lufti at the time.
"I did not write them. He was pretending to be me and communicating with my team with a fake email address," Spears said on Instagram on Wednesday. Lufti denied the allegations stating that he "neither wrote the emails nor had access to them." The emails that were circulated also claimed that she wanted to be in charge of her career. After her meltdown that same year, she was placed under conservatorship and is to this day.
Perez, who has been making videos weighing both sides of the story and often switching opinions with every post, went on to claim that he didn't believe Lufti. Lufti shot back at him saying, "Coming from a man who's made a career out of bullying people like Britney, I don't think that qualifies you a barometer of truth. Let's not forget the endless posts you made body shaming her and how that severely deteriorates a person's self-worth and well being."
Perez, of course, had a mouthful for Lufti and shaded him by saying that he went from Britney to Courtney Love and that he wasn't really all that reliable.
Twitter users went on to say, "Here's an idea. Why don't the paparazzi leave her alone and maybe she wouldn't be in the facility in the first place" while another commented, "Perez! Give it a break, Please."
Spears is said to be checking out of the facility as early as Thursday.
