![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Perez Hilton is striking back at the man who allegedly punched him in the face -- by filing a civil lawsuit against him.
Hilton is suing Polo Molina -- the road manager for the Black Eyed Peas -- for battery and an intentional infliction of emotional distress. Hilton's suit claims Molina attacked him outside of a Toronto club on Sunday night because the blogger wouldn't stop writing about the Black Eyed Peas on his website. The suit wants payback in excess of $25,000.
Molina turned himself in to Toronto cops on Monday and was charged with assault -- he is due back in court on August 5.
Hilton's attorney, Bryan Freedman, just released the following statement:
"Perez Hilton files this lawsuit to protect his freedom of speech and seeks legal redress against those who have physically assaulted him because they do not like his review of their album. Whether you love Perez or hate him, he is entitled to his freedom of speech without fear of physical violence. This lawsuit will make the statement that violence is never the answer."

Perez Hilton is a stain on society. To give him any power, fame, time, or money is a true shame. He deserved what he got. The Black Eyed Peas are so above him in every way. They are actually good people with character. Perez is trash and should be taken out to the land fill and dumped! He's a complete loser and no one should ever visit his website or give him the time of day. Waste of Space........

perez is a sissy
Perez Hilton, brought this on himself. He seems to feel he has license to say and do what ever he wants to people but if they come back at him he is on his page crying like a little girl. He is being overly dramatic, making a Mountain out of a Molehill. He got what he asked for he needs to shut up. I am so tired of his whiny complaints. He then gets upset because G.L.A.A.D. got upset with him. What makes it okay for him to say slur towards someone but if the same comment had been made to him we would have to endure more of this dribble. Perez Hilton is used up, and tired. Please don't waste anymore airtime or computer time on this cry baby.
Perez is nothing but a hypocrite and a poor representative for the gay community.
I hope Perez learned a lesson to knock off his hate speech. One guy punched him, but many of us would like to!
