I’m Still Pissed Off At Perez Hilton

Yesterday, Perez Hilton, gossip blogger and noted misogynist, copied the bulk of my post of the second part of my interview series with Kai Hibbard of the Biggest Loser verbatim, stuck it in his blog, and neither credited me nor linked back to me. In other words, he posted the story as if he had written it.

After numerous tweets, an email to him, and a call and email to his lawyer, he eventually took the post down from his main site while leaving it up on his mobile site. He still has not apologized, nor issued a retraction, nor credited me for my work.  He’s now received credit all over the internet for “breaking this story.”

I wasn’t going to post this post, but I’m still really angry, so I’m getting out a bit of aggression here. And you know what, I do feel better!

By the way, thanks to everyone for their supportive tweets to Perez.

Update:  Received nasti-gram from Perez’s lawyer.  Looking into legal options.

  2. I never read Perez Hilton, he sucks dishwater, IMO, and to plagiarize like that – well, he's scum of the lowest sort and lazy to boot. Someone needs to send him a big bag of STFU.

  3. Golda, I deal with plagiarism as an instructor. May I have your permission to show this entry you just wrote with the photo to my classes? I think it could really drive the point home in a way that would be interesting. Not to mention promote critical thinking about Loser.

    1. @bodylovewellnes you should google it to see if other people have had that experience and written about it – get a group together
