Perez Assaulted -- Claims Will.I.Am Is the Perp

Posted Jun 22nd 2009 8:46AM by TMZ Staff

Will.i.am, Perez Hilton Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is accusing Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.I.Am of assault -- but we've learned cops have targeted someone else.

After last night's MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Perez posted to his Twitter: "I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke."

But cops in Toronto tell us it was the general manager of the Black Eyed Peas -- Polo Molina -- who is under investigation and he turned himself in to police early this morning.

Here's the string of tweets Perez left on his Twitter page during the alleged beatdown early this morning:

-- I'm in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please.about 5 hours ago from Sidekick

-- I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke. -- about 5 hours ago from Sidekick

-- Still waiting for the police. The bleeding has stopped. I need to document this. Please, can the police come to the SoHo Met Hotel. -- about 5 hours ago from Sidekick

-- I spoke to my lawyer. I really need to talk to the authorities. Please come to the SoHo Met Hotel. Have called the police. Need them here. -- about 5 hours ago from Sidekick

-- The Toronto police are here now. Thank you. Please stop calling them. -- about 5 hours ago from Sidekick

-- Thank u all from the bottom of my heart for ur concern. The police are investigating the assault now. I did the right thing by reporting it. -- about 3 hours ago from web

18. DOWN WITH PEREZ!! I am sick of celebs kissing Perez's ASS!! I'm talking to you LADY GAGA & MILEY CYRUS. It needs to stop. This guy is not a friend, but these celebs think if they are NICE to him, he will promote them on his website. It's BS!!

19. Perez is such a drama queen. He's loves all the PR he's getting. Maybe people should stop paying him attention and he'll go away.

20. So it's okay for him to slander and say disgusting and offensive things about other people, but when someone comes after him, he begs and pleads for help. Please! His site was funny at first, and then it got mean. Haven't looked at it in months. If we all ignore him, maybe he'll go away...

21. Of course perez will spin it as a hate crime. If someone farts in his general direction, he goes crying on his blog about gay injustice.

22. 'I am bleeding and need the police'? hum, guess we know where your motives are..if you are bleeding you need a hospital, your first thought should not be to 'file a report'.

23. Good job to whoever it was who did it! They deserve a medal.

24. Is Perez sure it wasn't Carrie Prejean?

25. Instead of tweeting he should have used his phone to call the police himself. He's just a stupid douche who is looking for publicity. What a moron.

26. Why was he twittering that he needed help. Shouldn't he be calling 911.

27. Mario Pererz, this is just one of many more to come. You have made a BAD name for yourself. Sissy Mary!

28. Yeah, because posting that you need police on twitter is the same as calling 911 or a police station yourself.

What a twat.

29. I do not believe Perez Hilton's account of this incident. Whatever happened seems to be extremely exaggerated. I find it amusing that he uses Twitter to tell others to call the police and then contact his lawyer. I do not understand why he did not seek help from others around him or ask one of them to contact the authorities. I believe Will.I.am's version of the incident. He does not seem like a mean or volatile person.

30. What a freaking drama queen. It would certainly have taken less effort to call the police than it did to tweet for help half a dozen times.
