It was very easy for Perez to 'see the error of his ways' and change once he had made his millions....

He seems pretty forgiving of people who hate what he did and still can't move on from that from what I have seen too so that says to me he is a good man. Obviously he just needed to realise that to turn his life around.

Looks like it has been several years since he did it too so how long does someone have to change their life for before they are forgiven (if sorry isn't enough) and if sorry and changing isn't enough what possibly could he do to be forgiven ?

It's a bit like in the BB house I thought at one point they wanted blood as proof !”

I had no idea who he was. After looking at his past history. If that was current I couldn't have supported him either. People grow up, reform or whatever. He was fine with the people who didn't openly despise and try to isolate him or rant at him like a demented foul mouthed vicious school kid. Why did three of the gang say in the last week he'd done nothing to personally offend them? Callum, only after their row? Whatever he was he had nothing like KH's countless number of asinine prejudices. Including anyone who isn't privately educated. How many of the British public is she condemning in one fell swoop there?

Perez kept saying "I used to be her" because they both have the "troll" word attached to them, but what they do is very different.”

I agree

Katie Hopkins say things and people find them offensive, Whereas Perez Hilton sets out to hurt people.

I don't see that at all

I'm not easily offended on other people's behalf and nothing that I've read that Katie Hopkins has tweeted has offended me apart from the tweet aimed at The McCanns when the internet troll who had been stalking the McCanns online, committed suicide after she was outed.

I quote "How many more must die before the McCann's accept their negligence is at the heart of all their grief? Enough already."

Sure, she might offend fat people and ginger people but I personally find that tweet quite evil and beyond comprehension. Also, how does Katie Hopkins know whether the McCanns feel negligent or not? I imagine they've spent the last 7 or 8 years beating themselves up for doing what many parents do when they are on holiday.

And you think she doesn't set out to hurt people?

Yes she's certainly offensive
Quote:
“

adjective

Good one.

I think the Doc is simply pointing out that Katie Hopkins gives her strong opinions on socio-political issues, which some people may choose to take offence at, whereas Perez Hilton actually sets out to attack people with the intention of causing hurt for his own notoriety and sadistic amusement.

It's a fair point, well made.

Well, except that time she attacked Gemma Collins.

And Lily Allen.

And Karen Brady.

And Linda Nolan.

Oh, and Mariah Carey.

And Katherine Jenkins.

And Rebecca Adlington.

And Peaches Geldof.

And...

Well, you get the point.

It's the difference between being a "tell it like it is" social commentator and just being a spiteful, malicious troll grubbing for money and attention, at the expense of other peoples' feelings.

It's hard to judge where Perez was coming from, but from what I have seen and read, he was probably trying to funny and also provoke reactions a lot of the time, and his humour backfired.

I find the attitude of some posters here far more hateful than anything I've read from him. He struck me as relatively harmless on BB . Yes, he was a stirrer, but when he did finally get fed up with people, he only stated fact, rather than spitting nasty venom, as he has wrongly been accused of doing.

Not only that, but he also came to dislike what he was doing to himself and others, and sought to change.

He grew up, whereas Hopkins is still doing it, at the age of 39.

I just feel sorry for Perez's child, that is going to grow up to be one seriously messed up adult.

She was a late starter to be fair. Perez had been doing it for years and as someone said above, he only gave up once he had made his millions.

I remember a few years ago some fms used to post links on here about what he was saying about some of the CBB/BB contestants and other celebs and they were nasty.

He made a fortune out of being nasty but that's ok because apparently he didn't do that whilst on CBB.”

A lot can't understand how some people criticise Perez when Katie Hopkins is far worse

Those are both fair points.

He did change though, so he can't be a total rotter or just after the money.

The jury's still out for Hopkins on that.

She might be now but Perez in his heyday was as bad, if not worse.

it's interesting that anyone criticising Katie Hopkins is insulted and told they are worse than Katie Hopkins, but it seems to be open season on bringing Katie Price's, Perez's and Alicia's kids into the equation.

I agree with you Reality.

Do you?
I don't at all hes a lovely little boy and his father obviously loves him dearly, I guess that's why he was on the 1st plane out of here, to get back to his little boy. I do love seeing the happy pictures of father and child having quality time together.

Nasty! Does that make you worse than Perez? Or does that only apply to KH dislikers?

No he wasn't. Perhaps you can explain why you believe that.

He also received death threats and demanded bodyguards which BB producers supplied to him, until his flight took off. Had he been more popular with the general public, I have a feeling Perez may have delayed his flight home.

I just feel sorry for Hopkin's children. They are going to grow up to be seriously messed up adults.
