Social Media Disaster Averted: will.i.am Responds Effectively to Perez Hilton's Twittered Assault Claims

Perez Hilton is a grotesque, hysterical slob and his Twittered claim that will.i.am and his security guards attacked Miss Thing seems to have backfired.

tonite was a good (& kinda crazy) nite!!!

According to will.i.am, taping apparently before hearing about the tweets, he confronted Perez in a nonviolent manner after the MuchMusic Awards and asked him to chill on the disrespect after Perez made Fergie cry. Then he follows on an even more serious note after being informed of Hilton's Twitter hysteria.

My general take is that will.i.am effectively responded in a timely manner on his own video blog, the mass media has picked up on that response and many folks on the web are questioning Mr. Hilton who clearly overreacted.

If Hilton was attacked, maybe he has problems telling black people apart?

Charles Hamilton take note! This is a great example of effectively using social media to respond to specific claims in a calm, cool and collected manner. And a great example of a major star addressing people directly, word to celebs with ghost twitterers.

I think we know who everyone was rooting for in this little "smack down" between Will.i.am and Mario (Perez)
