Perez Hilton Outed Lauren Jauregui: A Deep Dive

Perez Hilton has resurfaced in headlines following a recent incident where he reportedly attempted self-harm during a livestream, leading to hospitalization. This event brings renewed attention to his past actions, notably his admission to outing former Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui.

Jauregui recounted on "Red Table Talk: The Estefans" how Hilton exposed her sexuality when she was a teenager in a relationship. She explained that a private photo shared by her aunt was leaked and subsequently amplified by Hilton, who then publicly revealed her relationship.

She described the experience as a violation of her personal journey, expressing anxiety about how her community and family would react. Hilton, in response to Jauregui's claims, stated he was "not sorry nor remotely remorseful," arguing that he did not consider his actions as "outing" her. He asserted that the photo had already gone viral before he commented on it, suggesting it was fans, not him, who initiated the public exposure.

This controversy mirrors Hilton's past behavior, as he previously admitted to outing other celebrities like Lance Bass and Neil Patrick Harris. While expressing regret for those past instances, he differentiated the Jauregui situation, questioning if his involvement constituted a wrongful act.
