Perez-hate... because of his reputation?

A lot of the comments about how he is 'vile', usually references how his blog was nasty. But IMO he wasn't actually nasty in the house, and his conduct in the face of the unkind attacks on him by HMs and BOTS panellists, was dignified in contrast to the bile that we saw from Hopkins & co.
He might have been a horrible person in the past but it seems he turned over a new leaf a few years ago... his appearance with Oprah & Deepak Chopra was interesting (youtube links below) and he seemed genuine in being a reformed sinner.
I think that unfortunately his reputation preceded him and a lot of viewers were ill-disposed towards him from the outset of CBB.

I don't think Perez was nasty before. Yeah he wrote mean things but that was part of his job just like other newspapers/bloggers etc but unlike them I'm so glad he decided to stop. He helped Katy Perry and Gaga become famous advising them and supporting them.
I think Perez changed alot after the death of Tyler Clementi and when he became a father.
Its unfortunate that people in the UK don't get his humour. Alot of the people that hate him seem like the people that would secretly be part of UKIP. He's new to the UK unlike other Americans like Visage and Best (who I still consider American) who have spent alot of time here. I've watched him appear on American Daytime TV shows and everyone loves him. He's amazing.
I hope his heart heals soon. He's a decent person. Unlike attention seeking Hopkins. She was the same on the apprentice. She had no shame when someone called her up on shagging another candidate in the attic regularly in front of Lord Sugar. No embarrassment. Nothing.
I find him really attractive...particularly with facial hair...he's gorgeous
And IMO he was vile... and he no reputation for a lot of us, I looked him up because he was a d**k in the house.... and found out he'd been a D**k before he went in also.
I thought he was very eloquent, sincere and moving in the Interview post-Oprah.
Maybe there have been some after that but they're the only links I've seen on here.
You and me both, though I prefer him clean shaven.
Thank you for this information it puts many things into perspective.;-):)
Exactly everything you want in a man and he's fun!
Thats good to hear
I thought a lot of that interview was relevant to CBB - about his philosophy and I think helps to give an insight into his time in the house
His shoes were colour co-ordinated with his tie :cool:
I enjoyed the Perez show. I didn't think his language was any more foul. than others', and to me, he was mostly just acting the fool for a laugh. He was supportive and kind to more vulnerable people, and as far as I could see, he didn't start all the arguments by any means. Once he did get into confrontation situations, he didn't know when to shut up, but that was possibly a natural response to the amount he'd been having to tolerate and bottle up.
Slightly off topic but as we are speaking of shaveness, I also think he looks better with facial hair...and a pair of shades :cool:
why would you look someone up because they were a d**k?
Exactly...the only thing I would add is that he so clearly used the few people who supported him in the house it was embarrassing. I knew his name, but nothing about him before launch night. As the others, he was a clean slate with me. It didn't take him long to start smearing and smudging all over the slate and I walk away from him now and still detest him.
In all honesty he makes me sad...I believe Katie H thrives on the hatred and confrontation, but watching Perez you could see moments where it appeared painful to him. Shame he wouldn't alter his behaviour in order to avoid it.
Mind blowing. Tell me this hard-on for Perez is a wind-up!
Tell me that whole post is a wind up...
I can not see one redeeming feature in that creature.
He DID NOT help Gaga and Perry become famous. He latched on to them in his usual famewhoring way. He's always been a nasty POS or do you think calling Adam Sandlers little girls fat and ugly was just a larf? He's not funny or clever he's just a pot stirring pathetic attention seeking twonk who tries to make himself feel better by berating others. He's still writing nasty crap on his blog and nobody likes him or appreciates his humour in the US. He's shunned by LGBT community there because he's a vicious little gossip who outs people and uses the f word. Why the hell do you think he went to the UK.
I concur, odious little creep.
I could name many good traits about all the other housemates (whether I liked them or not) but with Perez I'm afraid I can't.
Anyway, it's all past history now, nobody died.
I have a massive crush on him, he has a beautiful smile. He looked so sad though, genuinely so, on BOTS on Friday night, not easy viewing >:(
