Watch: Perez Hilton Says Taylor Swift Responsible for Temporary Twitter Ban
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Look what you made her do... to Perez Hilton?
The celebrity gossip blogger shared a video rant Tuesday, claiming Taylor Swift is responsible for Twitter temporary banning him.
Hilton's account was shut down this week after he posted a rumored track list for Swift's new album "reputation," which is out Friday. In his video, Hilton, whose Twitter account is now back online, claims he received a letter from the "Gorgeous" singer's record label that condemned him for his post.
The Twitter account for Hilton's website PerezHilton.com shared a screen shot purportedly showing an email as to why the blogger's account was suspended.
"The following material has been removed from your account in response to the DMCA takedown notice..." the message reads in part.
"Taylor Swift is responsible for me being suspended," he said in his six-minute clip. "Earlier today I was talking about many journalists who have felt bullied by the Taylor Swift machine.
"I had never felt that before, but I now am a victim of Taylor's wrath," he added. "I didn't know if it was real or not. If it was real, who cares? It was a photo of a guy's hand holding the back of the copy of the album.
"I posted it and then I got a takedown notice from Taylor's label, then my Twitter account got suspended," Hilton went on to say. "The album comes out in two days, and you're suspending me for promoting your album? I didn't leak any freakin' music, it's a freakin' track listing."
