On Tuesday, Hilton's lawyer made statements that Perez would file a lawsuit against Liborio "Polo" Molina, the manager for the Black Eyed Peas, for assault that occurred on Monday. Hilton has in fact filed that suit. Lawsuit accuses Molina of battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. According to the suit, Molina hit Hilton numerous times and Hilton suffered an injury to his eye. Hilton is seeking unspecified damages.
In related news, Hilton issued a statement apologizing for using an anti-gay slur against Will.I.Am during the incident. His website read,"I am sorry that any good work I have done for promoting equality may be tainted by me reclaiming a hurtful word — that's been personally used against me and the gay community — to hurt someone that was verbally attacking me. It was stupid." Perez also stated that he would never use the anti-gay slur again and apologized to the gay community, not GLAAD. "I am not apologizing to GLAAD," he wrote. "I could care less about them, my former employers."
