TODAY IN GAY HISTORY: Celebrity Paris Hilton was caught on tape saying, “They’re disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS.” about men on Grindr.
During a Taxi ride with a male friend, Paris is talking with a male friend about what Grindr is. The male friend explains,
“Say I log into Grindr, someone that’s on Grindr can be in that building and it tells you all the locations of where they are and you can be like, ‘Yo, you wanna f**k?’ and he might be on like, the sixth floor,”
Paris is then heard saying,
“Ewww. Eww. To get f**ked? Gay guys are the horniest people in the world,”
“They’re disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS.”
The conversation was recorded by the taxi’s driver, who said,
“I couldn’t believe what was coming out of Paris’ mouth and the way she was talking about gay men.”
RadarOnline who broke the story reached out to Paris’s publicist for comment, they replied,
“Paris Hilton’s comments were to express that it is dangerous for anyone to have unprotected sex that could lead to a life threatening disease. The conversation became heated, after a close gay friend told her in a cab ride, a story about a gay man who has AIDS and is knowingly having unprotected sex.”
Paris apologised the next day saying,
“I am so sorry and so upset that I caused pain to my gay friends, fans and their families,
“Gay people are the strongest and most inspiring people I know.”
