Hot Topic: Perez Hilton's Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit

(Getty Images) A woman from Ohio and her husband are suing online gossip Perez Hilton for a whopping $25 million.

Why, you ask?

According to The Smoking Gun, the woman blames Perez for getting her fired. Her husband, Joel Wargo, obviously does, too, because his name is also on the lawsuit.

The whole mess began when Diane sent Perez a rather angry email containing anti-gay slurs in response to an item he had posted about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt spending Christmas in New Orleans with their kids.

Always one to share with the world, Perez posted Diane's email on his site along with her email address. Diane, who worked in a senior living center called Menorah Park at the time, fired off her email from her work address.

Stupid!

Her supervisors at the old folks home were not so thrilled with Diane when a public backlash and tons of negative publicity ensued, and Diane lost her job.

In addition to getting fired, Diane claims that she received hundreds of threatening emails and phone calls in the wake of the incident.

Curious as to what Diane wrote to inspire such anger among PerezHilton.com readers?

Short and not so sweet, the email Diane sent to Perez read:

Perez you are a FAT GAY PIG! Angelina is an ugly whore! You love her because she is a fag lover! Her brother is a gay little jerk just like your fat ugly ass! MANGELINA is a disgusting gross skank!

Hmm, I wonder if Diane has issues with gay people? What do you think of her email outburst?

And while we're on the subject, do you think Perez, who usually goes after celebrities, went too far in exposing this ordinary citizen's rant to the public, or was Perez perfectly within his rights to post Diane's email along with her email address?
