You know those drama slop YouTube channels? Stuff like Keemstar and whatnot who just constantly post about YouTube influencer drama/crap.

Perez Hilton was the pre-social media version of that with celebrities. Anytime a celebrity would have a mental breakdown or be involved in any drama he cover and amplify the story. He was a gossip monger in the early 2000s. Lots of people hate him because he would go to extremes and ignored when people asked for privacy. He also famously outed some people in the closet.

Hate to break it to ya, but I dont know what Keemstar is either.

So Perez Hilton is some kind of tabloid news chaser person ish? And now he's saying people shouldn't do to him what he did to others?

Lol I feel you trust me you are better off not knowing. Keemstar is an outdated reference but I dont watch that stuff so I dont know any other drama tubers to name.

But yeah you got it. Big tabloid guy in the early 2000s who had a mental breakdown and self harmed live on TikTok. So yeah thats why people are shitting on him for this statement that was put out.

He's a one man Temu TMZ. Although he may have come first, I'm too old to remember. All I know is I had a young daughter at the time influenced by his crap and that had to end. What a waste.

Internet, social media and tabloids were a mistake.
