Perez Hilton re-ignited his feud with Lady Gaga on Tuesday during an appearance on the Australian talk show Mornings in which he claimed she has been ‘‘poisoned’’ by fame.
The 36-year-old celebrity blogger told show hosts Sonia Kruger and David Campbell his friendship with the 28-year-old superstar started to unravel after she got drunk and became upset with questions he asked her during an interview.
But Perez truly believes Gaga’s fame was the main reason their friendship fell apart.
Actually, all the drama went down in Australia in the summer of 2011,’ the blogger, real name Mario Lavandeira Jr, told the hosts.
Perez said he was in Sydney hanging out with his then-friend and she was taking part in a special he was filming for television that included a cooking session with the singer.
‘‘She proceeded to get obliterated drunk, drinking Jameson, and she was a surprisingly functioning drunk woman,’’ said Perez who was wearing a T-shirt that read ‘‘Parental Advisory Explicit Content.’’
Perez said he was sober and interviewing Gaga when she became upset over a question about her single Judas.
‘‘The (question) framing made her real angry,’’ Perez recalled.
He followed that up with a question about her boyfriend and he claimed that further angered the Poker Face singer.
‘‘the fact that I brought up her boyfriend made her livid and she stormed off the set and stopped the interview,’’ Perez said.
The blogger said the blow-up made him re-evaluate his friendship with her.
‘‘Now I feel like I think the whole time she was just using me,’ Perez said.
Sonia asked if maybe the Jameson whiskey played a role in her reaction and Perez dismissed that.
‘‘No, I think it was fame that just poisoned her,’’ he said.
‘‘She had an album Fame Monster, her second album, and she became consumed by that which she was fascinated about. You know, fame can be a very deadly drug and it has damaged her personally,’’ he said.
He also said he no interest in rekindling their friendship. — Dailymail.
