Perez Hilton’s found himself in a bit of a legal pickle.

Former reader — and presumed fan — Diane Wargo has filed a $25 million lawsuit against the blogger. Wargo claims that Hilton violated his own privacy agreement after he posted a curse-laden e-mail she sent along with her work information.

By printing her e-mail, Wargo says, Hilton set off a firestorm of hateful e-mails from his many readers. The suit also alleges that she, her husband and children all received death threats following the e-mail’s publication. Wargo’s employers, Menorah Park Center for Senior Living, subsequently fired Wargo for the e-mail, which read, in part: “Perez you are a fat gay pig. Angelina is a [sic] ugly whore. You love her because she’s a fag lover.” Sounds like a classy lady.

What’s interesting, we think, is that the press release from Wargo’s lawyer defends her language. And, in fact, blames it on Hilton himself!
