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

46. Umm is it just me or what but why didn't Perez use the phone to call police? Or is that the style now to Twitter someone to call the cops for you?

"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!!"
ITA! BUT the sad thing is Perez does have a huge amount of traffic to his site every day and I think some of these celebs are just "Keeping their enemies close". IDK I think Perez has become desensitized to his own meanness - He's gotten more disgusting and heartless over time. :/

51. Aw too bad Perez. I was always told being stupid should be painful. Well this time I guess it was.

52. When you try and destroy people's lives for personal gain like he does....well, you know.

53. yes! you deserve it perez!

54. Well Perez I guess KArma is a bitch. You talk so much hate, it's about time it came back to you.

55. I don't buy it. If you go to Perez's website he's advertising the new Black Eyed Peas album, the E.n.d. It's a stunt.
He's got the Black Eyes Peas and the Pussycat Dolls as the background on his website.

I seriouisly hope no one actually called the police in TO last night and hindered people with actual emergencies getting through.

56. Hell yeah! Who hasn't been waiting for this moment?? He was bound to mess with the wrong guy sooner or later.

57. if he was that badly hurt why didn't he call the cops himself instead of blathering about it on twitter or whererever? If I'm hurt and bleeding, I'm calling the cops or the ambulance, not sitting in my hotel twittering about needing the cops. Idiot.

Posted at 10:08AM on Jun 22nd 2009 by Who gives a ****

58. If Will I Am beat him up why is he advertising the new Black Eyes Peas album on his website? It's the new background on his site. Publicity stunt!

59. LOL and who goes to Twitter after getting beat up?? What a cry out for attention, pussy.

Posted at 10:10AM on Jun 22nd 2009 by pollysmall

60. I'm sure he got his a## kicked enough growing up that he'd know how to call the cops!! What kind of a douche twitters for help. Cops would have been on the line an enroute by the time he got done typing. What an assclown!! No pun intended. He probably just has a cruch on him and is upset that Will I Am won't switch to the pink team!
