    Hmmmmmm serious damage limitation there. Maybe next time you will think about opening that gob of yours!

    Even though I dislike her, I really don’t think that she meant to insult the gay community. It appears that the friend she was with at the time did not take insult at her words so perhaps we should do that same?

    1. “gay guys are the horniest people in the world…they’re disgusting”
      Which part of that quote do you think implies she didn’t mean to insult the gay community?

      Post a reply →
      1. she meant the people gay people on the grindr – straight people don’t have apps to hook up for anon unprotected sex. They have proper dating ones.

        Post a reply →
        1. How do you speak for her and know what she meant?
          How did you determine that Grindr is specifically for anon unprotected sex?
          When do straight people only use the web for dating, see http://www.affairs4u.com.

        2. Ahh poor, naive james. Straight men are just as horny as gay guys, they’ve just got women to keep them in check. And I know some pretty horny women too.

          As for not having apps, have you never heard of Blendr? Doh!

  2. I think it sounds like a good apology…shame she said the stuff in the first place , was taped and made public though….you never know with these taped snippets how it was really meant to be taken and she was talking to a mate who was gay…

      Exactly, we might not have heard the whole conversation and it could have been edited. While I don’t agree with what she said either way, we all know she is an airhead bimbo at the best of times!

      @John . It does sound like a good apology “but” who wrote it? .
      I somehow don,t think Paris Hilton did! I could be wrong but i very much doubt it.
      I will accept it is an apology but if she never made the homophbic comments in the first place she would not have to apologise now would she?.

      Mate or not she was in the wrong .

  3. “It is so wrong when people bully or put down others for being gay. No one should have to go through that.”

    Very true, but she did just that and now she’s trying to worm her way out of a bad situation.

  4. She is kinda right thought, using Grindr has been linked to an increase in HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases amongst gay men.

    Fair enough IMO. I get the impression the original conversation was taken out of context anyway, but that does read like a real apology rather than the faux “sorry that people were offended” nonsense you get from some.

    A dumb as bricks or head said something dumb? Colour me surprised – not. I don’t think there was any malice involved in what she said, just stupidity.

    And as others have said, we have all said things that we later regret – god knows I have. Hurt a friend very badly with my words, but hey forgave me. So yeah, apology for being a moronic ditz? Accepted.

    Also, I’m more bothered by the fact that this taxi driver was recording his passengers. I don’t care if they’re famous or not, he had no right to be recording them in the first place.

    Post a reply →
    1. Almost every taxi in New York now records video or at least audio as a protective measure for the driver and the passengers.

      Does it make it right that the taxi driver passed it on to the media. Absolutely not.

      However, if faced with a dilemma seeing a supposed supporter of the gay community and one in such a high profile position saying gay guys are disgusting, and that most have AIDS, hell no, screw the taxi driver / passenger ethics.

      Post a reply →
      1. we all know it wasn’t about the cab driver being shocked it was about him wanting money which is why he sold it to the media.

        Post a reply →
        1. How do we all know that? Do you know he sold it?
          Perhaps he, his friend, brother, cousin, uncle, etc is gay?

  12. Oh please… If she didn’t mean what she said why did she say it. I also find it amazing how this woman can make blatant homophobic statements and then later apologize and think it’s ok.

    This is not the first time she made a statement like this. Who is she trying to fool?

    3. Sighs I am so damn tired of these fake ass insincere PR apologies they rarely if ever are sincere or come from the heart or are genuine. Its always the same thing someone CLAIMS they have gay friends they are sorry they support the LGBT community etc…. Then they screw up and their true colors shine in the ugliest colors and light possible.Shame on people like Paris shes an idiot always has been one but this went too far and she did hurt this community with such ignorant and narrowminded thinking.She didnt help us she only helped the ignorant twits who hate us and would use something like this to CONTINUE to demonize and persecute this community with. To people like Paris actions speak louder then words people like you need to realize that you have no right to claim you support us as human beings…when you can belittle slam and bash us in the way in which you did.Such a hypocrite people like you and You in general.

  14. Thank you for the apology Paris, you were obviously talking in private with a gay friend teasing him without any real malice making a point that he should be careful, it would have gone no further but for the spying activities of the cabbie.

    Post a reply →
    1. Cabbie was not spying. Almost every NY taxi has video and/or audio equipment fitted as standard.

      “Ewwwww…. gay guys are the horniest people in the world. they’re disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS..”

      No real malice?!

        Depends how you say it and who you are saying it to, shouldn’t the guy she was in the taxi say something about the incident, was he offended or did he understand it as just banter between friends.

        Cabbie was spying, it makes no difference that they all spy on their fares, plus he’s selling it on to the media.

        Post a reply →
        1. A person in the mainstream media, who purports to be for gay rights and then says “I would be so scared if I was a gay guy”.. “you’ll like, die of AIDS’, shows an incredible lack of sensitivity and a huge amount of ignorance.

          You rely on some guy in the taxi not speaking up as a vindication that she was not homophobic? Get real!

          As for the spying cab driver? No evidence he did sell it, but it’s a mute point. The conversation is now out there regardless of means.

  18. Another wonderfull example of failing to think before opening your mouth. Meanwhile she has had plenty of time and no doubt help from her minders, to pen a legnthy apology. If she only stopped to think about all the young straight people who continuiously have loads of unprotected sex when out clubbing or on a holiday/vacation and proudly boast about it tanked up with the local beer! None of us are perfect regarless of sexuality and common sence often gets left behind, especially when drunk. She tried to verbally hit the nail on the head. Alas she used her unthinking head to hit the nail. Ouch!

  28. She is, without a doubt, the most vacuous, pointless human being of the current age, you could have a more interesting conversation with an empty glass.

    BUT, as the quotes from the article before this one pointed out, her gay friend was telling her about someone he knows who has AIDS and still has unprotected sex (I think he should be reported to the Police btw), and showing her a website on his phone of a website that encourages “hook ups”. It’s not a huge leap of faith to reach the conclusion that when she said “they” probably all have AIDS, she wasn’t referring to all gay people, but the people on the website she was looking at – people who her gay friend was explaining have promiscuous lifestyles, so actually, venereal diseases are more likely.

    Paris Hilton isn’t homophobic, she can’t form the thought processes needed to hold strong enough opinions to be regarded as “homophobic.” I’d worry more about the billions of religious crazies who want our balls on spikes.

    Apart from the stage managed apology I think PH should enroll on an HIV / AIDS awareness course as she has demonstrated she does not understand the subject.

    Also I think she would do well to take an HIV test & openly talk about that experience; this is the only way she can redeem herself in my view

    Her ignorance has also highlighted the same in others – it really is time that gay men & the general population take more personal responsibility to engage with the subject of sexual health / HIV.

    I find it really sad & frustrating that some PN commentators have agreed with the views PH has expressed – as a minority group we should be working together to stamp out stigma, discrimination & lack of understanding.

    I am totally open about my status, until more +ve people feel able to do the same things will be very slow to change.

    The question is why so many +ve people are unable to be open about their status – the answer has clearly been provided in the PH’s original uneducated comments!
