Perez Hilton's disgusting dig at Kylie's pregnancy

Perez Hilton is facing a wave of backlash after he suggested Kylie Jenner should "get an abortion" after reports swirled the reality star was expecting her first child.

Taking to YouTube, the 39-year-old gossip blogger told his channel "needed" to get online "instantly" to let everyone know the 20-year-old is "99 per cent pregnant".

Adding that the missing one percent is due to TMZ initially reporting the news, Perez continues that "they could be wrong" but admits "their track record is pretty accurate".

However it was the comments that followed that have shocked after he suggested Kylie is following her big sister's footsteps and is the "new" Kim Kardashian.

"I don’t care about any of those other b*tches right now... If I were Kris [Jenner]... I’d tell that girl to get an abortion," he said, despite claiming he "loves life" and "loves babies".

"Let’s be really real here, people. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are not gonna last - they’re not gonna end up happily ever after. You know the Kardashian show is about to end, so Kylie just wants to get a role on Teen Mom... This is when pro-choice really comes in handy," the celebrity blogger concluded.

Perez, a father-of-two himself, soon received backlash from followers after they took to social media to express their disappointment and outrage at his suggestion that Kylie should terminate her pregnancy.

"Wow. Just lost all respect for you. Unfollowing," one Twitter user wrote while another added: "I am all [about] being pro-choice but I just don’t think strangers should have the right to tell someone to get an abortion. Not [your] place Perez."

"If you don’t see the evil in these words, then there is no hope; what a soulless thing to say, especially from a father," another added.

Trying to defend his controversial comment, Perez added that believed Kylie wasn't ready to be a mother and that her pregnancy was only "good for business" before saying he "felt sorry" for the famous first family of reality TV.
