Exclusive: Perez Hilton Quotes From 'Joy Behar' Interview

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 17th 2010 07:16PM

Controversial blogger Perez Hilton is hitting HLN's 'The Joy Behar Show' tonight to talk about this week's Miley Cyrus photo incident for the first time -- and PopEater's got exclusive quotes from the interview.

Earlier this week, Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, posted a link to a photo of Miley Cyrus on his Twitter account. The photo featured Cyrus climbing out of a car apparently wearing no underwear. And while underwear-less photos of celebrities are a common occurrence on Hilton's site, Miss Cyrus is only 17 years old, making her a minor -- and his actions could have some serious legal implications.

Joy Behar scored the first sit down with Hilton, and the blogger was eager to tell his side of the story. Excerpts from the interview after the jump.

On why he posted the photo:
"I didn't pick it for her to look like she wasn't wearing underwear. The point of me choosing that one photo is because it was showing Miley getting out of the car in an unladylike fashion. And I just thought that was funny and in keeping with her shocking behavior of late, because she was very well aware that she was in a public place at a -- at a video shoot and that there were paparazzi present."

On if he altered the photo before posting:
"I did not pixelate anything. I did not PhotoShop anything. There's been a lot of inaccuracies being perpetuated about what happened in the media. And I just chose a photo that showed her getting out of the car. You didn't see anything down there."

On why he removed photo:
"I did not take the photo down. I didn't even post the photo on my website. I wanted to clear that up, as well. I merely linked to a photo that I found on the Internet on my Twitter ... Then that website that I posted a link to, they're the ones that took it down. I would have posted the image on my site had I been able to. But it was taken by one photo agency that I don't have a deal with. So I've learned my mistake in the past about using photos that I don't have licenses to."

On possibly being charged with child pornography:
"I think it's insulting to children to accuse that of child pornography. If you want to look at the definition of child pornography, it is not an image like the one I posted. It is explicit behavior designed to arouse, engage in sexual activity. You don't see anything from Miley's private parts. You just see here from an unflattering vantage view getting out of her car. The point is that it's not child pornography. And if I was aware that it was or that she was not wearing underwear, I would not have posted it. But I -- I knew the opposite, Joy. I saw other photos from that video shoot and I was very well aware of the fact that Miley was wearing underwear."

On whether he regrets posting the photo:
"I don't regret what I did and I would do the same thing again ... It's not actually doing anything worse than Miley herself has been doing recently, from grinding up on her 40-something-year-old director to pole dancing to all the over-sexualized things that she has been doing and turning herself into this creature."

Catch the full interview on 'The Joy Behar Show' tonight at 9PM ET on HLN.

its weird but its holywood. it is a legal grey area and perez is usually pretty good about stuff. what he did may have been illegal and he may face consequences, but i know hes not posting that for old pervs to look at, hes just saying people look shes 17 and going in the buff where millions of cameras are isint there something wrong with this, and he proved it with a pic. he doesent want her to get hurt or be sexualized, hes just writing her biography as it goes. i say its a legal grey area and its up to the courts to decide weather he should be prosecuted.

Throw the book at the little bugger. It's time somebody took this parasite out of circulation.

By Donna

Perez should be in jail now. Why he hasnt been arrested is a mystery. HE DID BREAK THE LAW.
What are California police doing over there? Eating donuts and watching soap opras? This wouldnt happen in Texas, the pig would have already been in front of a judge, with a busted nose and lip.

Of course Hilton would claim it was not child porn, since it did not arouse any sexual interest. Knowing where his boat floats and where he drops his anchor, why would an upskirt photo of a girl arouse any interest or sexual desire in him at all?
