America’s Next Top Model star Adrianne Curry ‘forgives’ Perez Hilton

America’s Next Top Model (ANTM) winner Adrianne Curry has announced that she forgives Perez Hilton for his past ‘harᴀssment.’

It comes days after the controversial blogger, 48, was hospitalized following a distressing TikTok livestream in which he was seen self-harming with a knife.

Curry, who won ANTM in 2003, said in an Instagram video on Thursday: ‘For years [Perez] targeted me and harᴀssed me. He drew wieners that were erect all over, near my face, splurging into my mouth and all over my face.’

She recalled, ‘He bullied me and got the public to bully me. This was during his peak years.’

Curry’s post was a follow-up to comments she received after previously sharing a plea urging people not to ‘monetize off the video’ of Hilton’s distressed TikTok livestream.

‘I also want him to see me saying that his life has value and that I wish him peace, and I don’t want anything bad to happen to him,’ she emphasized.

‘I think sometimes that’s what it takes – not your friends rallying round you, but people who should hate you saying, “Hey, your life has value, don’t do this.” At least that’s what it used to be like for me because I’ve been in some dark places,’ she shared.

Addressing Hilton directly in the new clip, she stated: ‘I forgive you, I don’t think you should be hurting yourself, and I hope you get f***ing better.’

The former reality TV star explained to her audience of 243,000 followers, ‘It took a lot for me to forgive someone who never asked for it, and I think in times where people are down, you have to come out the better person. 

‘It would be really, really, really easy for me to kick him when he’s down. It’s really hard to practice this. You can’t get him any more down than that. You don’t have to kick him anymore.’

Curry’s earlier video, shared on Wednesday pointed out behavior that she called ‘disgusting’ as she noticed people ‘using what Perez Hilton did for clicks and likes’ at his expense.

‘I hear he was on a redemption arc and I love and appreciate those,’ she said.

‘I think it’s horrifying what happened, and I pray that he knows his life has meaning and purpose and that he’s going to be okay,’ as she asked for the public to ‘stop exploiting this stuff.’

Following Tuesday evening’s incident, Hilton’s family broke their silence on Wednesday, saying that he was still being treated at the hospital.

His loved ones later released another statement shared on his website: ‘Our family wants to once again thank everyone who has reached out with prayers, kind messages, and support for Perez. Your compᴀssionate humanity during this profoundly heartbreaking time has meant more than words can express.

‘This has been incredibly difficult and emotional for us, made even harder because very little information has been made available to our family. While we continue to wait for further updates, we remain hopeful.

‘We have also been able to confirm that Perez is able to communicate, which has given our family hope.’

The family asked for ‘continued prayers, understanding, and grace as Perez continues to recover.’

Hilton, born Mario Lavandeira Jr, is a father to three children, who were born via surrogacy. His son was born in 2013, followed by two daughters in 2015 and 2017.
