Channel 5 have denied that Perez Hilton was ‘made to stay’

[erinp5]

Channel 5 have denied that Perez Hilton was ‘made to stay’ on Celebrity Big Brother.



Perez was evicted from the show last night but claimed he had tried to “repeatedly” walk from the house.

Speaking to Rylan Clark on Bit On The Side, Perez even told how producers took him out of the Diary Room at one point to personally convince him to remain in the series

“They convinced me not to leave. Big Brother convinced me not to leave – repeatedly. I tried walking many times,” Perez said. “I’m being really honest. Let me be real honest – this is my time to be real honest.

“I won’t mention names but I got out of the Diary Room and somebody from production said, ‘You can’t quit – it’s The Perez Show’. I’m all about me, myself and I.”

Saying that he ‘didn’t want to get anyone in trouble’, Perez continued: “I won’t mention who. They did… While I was in the house they said, ‘This is the most watched Celebrity Big Brother in years and it’s The Perez Show’.

“Once I heard that I thought, ‘Alright, why am I going to quit if it’s the ******ing Perez Show and if it’s the most watched season in years?'”

A spokesperson for Channel 5 has since responded to Perez’s comments with a short statement.

They said: “Housemates are free to leave the house at any time.

“Perez’s decision to stay in the Big Brother house was his, and his alone.”

Well I believe this above him.glad that's clarified

[Vanessa]

Of course they have. Covering their asses.

[Denver]

I knew it and its just another story he made up if i was the producers id take him to court

[Amy Jade]

I still believe he was convinced to stay rather than them telling him it was his show etc, they generally try to convince all possible walkers.

Watching him on BOTS stall Rylan and give himself time to think up a lie though was a pretty big indicator he was lying imo

[Cherie]

He is still hogging the threads, he knows how to court publicity :laugh:

[Calderyon]

I do not believe them for a second. Of course they would not admit to that, even if it happened, cause it would make them look really bad.

The Perez Show comment was most likely exaggeration on his part, but i believe fully that he was persuaded hard by the producers to stay in the house.

But people wont accept this and will blame anything on him being evicted

[Niamh.]

i believe Perez tbh, the way the secret room task happened right after he decided he wanted out was a bit suspicious imo

[Vanessa]

I hope Perez names and shames them. That will teach them to lie. :hehe:

[Denver]

I hope Perez names and shames them. That will teach them to lie. :hehe:

Is that before or after he is charged with slander? :joker:

[Denver]

i believe Perez tbh, the way the secret room task happened right after he decided he wanted out was a bit suspicious imo

The only thing i believ is they wanted him to stay because they already had 3 leave from the back door the rest he made up

[erinp5]

I believe Perez was asked to stay, I also believe he was told he could chill out in the "secret room " and that's why he continued with the show .

[Denver]

This basically the rest he made up

[joeysteele]

I am sorry but I believe his account,for ages BB denied anything about fights and someones mess put in a freezer.

It was then when more and more mentioned it that came out that they then had to admit they were wrong, being dragged kicking and screaming doing so.

BB are liars and manipulators, they do it every series.

Hew as threatening to leave and even after time had passed was stlll saying he was leaving, then in a flash, he was told BB wanted him foer a secret mission, the secret room came into play, the watching of his fellow housemates too.
All at that moment.

No public vote arranged as to who went in the secret room, no further noms from the other hms either.

There had been 2 ejections and 1 walkout at that time,had he gone they would have looked pretty bad in my view.
I really believe his account and I wouldn't, after what ahs gone on in past series, believe a word BB says.
Channel 5 may have no idea of it but the BB production are far from reliable as to what they say and present too,even as to the highlights most of the time.

[arista]

“Perez’s decision to stay in the Big Brother house was his, and his alone.”

[bots]

That statement is all about semantics. Yes, perez was free to go at anytime, but that doesn't mean they did not arrange the secret room for him and exclude him from nominations in order to help convince him to stay.

If they had made any other statement it would mean he was being held against his will.

[Cherie]

Good point, it would have fallen flat on it's ass if he had left at that point

I bet you believe they was also allowed there phones?

Or they only film till a certain time?

Or they sleep in a hotel?

[MTVN]

That statement doesn't really contradict what he said though does it. He was still technically free to leave anytime, it was still technically his decision to stay, that doesn't mean they didn't do everything in their power to persuade him

[Drew.]

i believe Perez tbh, the way the secret room task happened right after he decided he wanted out was a bit suspicious imo

This.

Also the way he entered the secret room looking pretty fed up and straight away sparked up and said the Perez Show was back on.. I'm sure he was told that Big Brother had actually become the Perez Show to convince him to stay.

[abhorson]

Perez embellishes again.

[Amy Jade]

I believe Perez was asked to stay, I also believe he was told he could chill out in the "secret room " and that's why he continued with the show .

I agree. I don't believe anyone told him it was the Perez show and he was popular etc

[Spring]

I hope Perez names and shames them. That will teach them to lie. :hehe:


Really hope so ^^^

[Vanessa]

Really hope so ^^^

In his blog. :smug:

[Denver]

The thing i dont understand is how can they make him stay? If he really wanted to go he would have

[CaudleHalbard]

Every housemate whether on BB or CBB who wants to walk is "asked to stay".

Where's the story? Or am I missing something?

[Niamh.]

The thing i dont understand is how can they make him stay? If he really wanted to go he would have

I would imagine he means they gave him enough incentive to stay :shrug: Obviously no one tied him down lol

[Vanessa]

[joeysteele]

No I do not,since that has never been said anyway or anytime has it.
However since people seem to be able, if it suits BB now, to come and go from the house and even write a professional column from the house, nothing would in fact now surprise me as to BB.

I wouldn't be surprised at all as to what they would do, and now allow, as part of their contract to do so,to get celebrities in the house in the first place and keep them there.

[bots]

I would imagine he means they gave him enough incentive to stay :shrug: Obviously no one tied him down lol

What he and katie hopkins did when they were off air is their own business :hehe:

[Denver]

I would imagine he means they gave him enough incentive to stay :shrug: Obviously no one tied him down lol

All he has done is bad mouth the veiwers and produucers and saying he wish he never entered so in that case if you hate being in the house so much why stay

[Vanessa]

What he and katie hopkins did when they were off air is their own business :hehe:

:creep:

[CaudleHalbard]

Is he implying they offered him extra money to stay? If so, that would certainly be a story.

But there will no doubt be a confidentiality clause in the contract which prevents Perez or C5 from ever talking about it!

[Jamesy]

The thing i dont understand is how can they make him stay? If he really wanted to go he would have

Easy... money

I bet the producers told him if he left his fee would be cut by X amount or he would not get it fee at all. Technically he is still free to go or stay and it's his choice under that.

[CaudleHalbard]

As I understand it any CBB housemate who walks gets no fee at all.

E.g. Alexander

[Denver]

As I understand it any CBB housemate who walks gets no fee at all.

E.g. Alexander

You still get money but its only a % of your original fee also Alex exit is still not clear

[Macie Lightfoot]

In his blog. :smug:

He hasn't written for his blog in years

[abhorson]

Every housemate whether on BB or CBB who wants to walk is "asked to stay".

Perez being the DQ again.

[VanessaFeltz.]

I believe perez. BB is getting worse every year.

[CaudleHalbard]

Not my understanding all. You only get your fee if you've stayed until you have been voted out - plus you have done all the necessary BOTS appearances.

If you fail to do the above, you leave with nothing.

That is the only way they manage to keep housemates on on CBB. Otherwise we'd see far more walkouts.

You still get paid both Jeremy and Ken confirmed this

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Their making a big mistake publicly lying, Perez is hardly the type of character who will let something like this luy or let people accuse him of lying.

I'll be keeping a very close eye on his Twitter and hopefully he will spill on BOTS tonight.

I 100% believe Perez.

^this.

There is a huge difference between being forced to stay (kept against ones will) and persuaded to stay. I don't doubt for a moment that Parez was persuaded through kind words. He and Hopkins have made this show and the last thing CBB needed was him leaving.

You do realise Perez is a known lier? He should expect a court case on his hands and this one he wont win

Nobody is lying. What they said is: “Housemates are free to leave the house at any time. Perez’s decision to stay in the Big Brother house was his, and his alone.”

If they persuaded him to remain in the house, it was still his decision to stay. If he was a child we could call it coercion but he's an adult who makes his own choices.

[Samm]

Perez is manipulating **** of course he would say something like that, to get media attention what he is getting now

He is a male version of Josie Cunningham

[Samm]

lol Perez being some kind of source in here when he is a known liar :joker: :joker:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

You do realise Perez is a known lier? He should expect a court case on his hands and this one he wont win

Lets not go overboard :rolleyes:

I believe Perez is telling the truth, I believe producers kissed his arse and fed him compliments to get him to stay.

How else do you explain the blatant secret room twist lol.

Its nice you have such faith in producers but they have been doing this for years remember Speidi?!

[Jamesy]

I don't believe they told him to stay. Which Perez said and some fans are believing as gospel. However I believe he certainly wasn't that open to leave whenever and the producers at least persuaded him a hell of a lot to stay. The thing like the random secret walk-out and room twist was obvious of that (look at how makeshift that room was).

I still believe they got him staying in for the fee.

We know how dodgy C5 production has been, from Spedi to simple things like them trying to cover that Rylan was leaving the house for X Factor rehearsals. Lets not forget the amount of times we have seen pictures of the house with production team members in the background with housemates too.

I doubt C4 were any better but C5 do seem to have the ' no outside world contact' rule thrown completely out the window and they have been awful at covering everything up.

[Lstan]

Dont bb always try and convice housemates to stay when they want to walk tho?

[Denver]

Lets not go overboard :rolleyes:

Good post, I agree with all that

[CaudleHalbard]

Jeremy and Ken did not walk. That is the difference.

They were 'evicted' by BB.

[Vanessa]

At that point he was so good for the ratings they would have done anything to keep him in.

[CaudleHalbard]

We will never know what happened. It may be that Perez was offered extra money to stay but I doubt either he or C5 would ever admit it.

[DemolitionRed]

The producers aren't saying that didn't happen. Its just worded to sound like they are denying everything when all it actually says is, they didn't hold him against his will.

[Maxxie.]

They didn't actually deny that they encouraged him to stay all they said was "perez's decision to stay is his decision" & they can "leave any time they want". That doesn't actually go against what he said

[RichardG]

Obviously they didn't hold him prisoner in there, he was technically free to leave at any point, but they very clearly did everything in their power to convince him to stay in.

Their edit tried to convince us that Alexander calmly went to the diary room to ask to leave the house once, and straight away upon his first request they took him completely seriously and let him out straight away without time to sleep on it. However, Perez asks to leave a few times, sometimes even demanding a lawyer, yet they ignore his continued requests and just throw surprise secret rooms at him instead? Nonsense, there's clearly something very dodgy going on behind the scenes.

There's no way they were going to let him leave. He's ratings gold.

[smudgie]

Apart from Alex, whose exit we are no clearer about, or those that have been ejected, BB have always tried their hardest to stop HMs from walking.
So nothing particularly special about Perez in this instance..apart from his own feeling of self importance.:shrug:

[CaudleHalbard]

Spot on and in a nutshell. There is nothing of any interest here unless (and it is highly unlikely IMO) BB offered him extra money when he threatened to walk.

[Jules2]

Nothing would surprise me tbh, they wanted him to stay and why didnt they show us Alex in the DR, what happened there? We normally get some sort of idea and they try and convince HMs to stay. The trouble was P had been in there saying he was in fear of his life, he had a tantrum on the floor, and then he was put in the spare room. Very suspicious all of it.

Nadia and P are still sure that she was voted out because of him, I am sure that a lot of viewers are not as gullible as to do that. For me it was because she interfered too much in the running of the place. If she watches BOTS in the early days she will see that much was said then about her interfering. Also her hypocricy in supporting Perez after she had taken Ken down to the bottom of her pile and then called Police!! That was when I disliked her. Neither of them seem to be taking responsiblity for their own actions. Does that mean that Nadia is on the panel of LW, that is me out wont be watching the show. Didnt watch it all.......

[daniel-lewis-1985]

What gets me is that Perez threatened to walk if Alexander wasn't kicked out.

Next thing we know Alexander has "walked" and the convo in the diary room not even aired to the public.

The producers obviously had a talk to him and thought it would be best for Alex to leave with im assuming a full pay cheque. It was one or the other and they chose Perez.

[Ant.]

Of course they have. Covering their asses.

Or maybe Perez was lying? Not like he's made a career of it or anything

[Angelika]

I believe Perez was asked to stay, I also believe he was told he could chill out in the "secret room " and that's why he continued with the show .

I agree with you. Perez imo was possibly was made to sign a "gagging clause"
possibly why Ryland shut him down last night when he wanted to say something.

At the time Perez went to the chill out room he looked very traumatised and I do believe he wanted to leave at this point. Possibly he was talked down because he was a pivotal player in the show. Maybe even offered a bonus as well, imo, to keep him in. Its obvious he was the CBB 15 all on his own. I'm glad Perez had the respite from the others he desperately needed.

We'll possibly never know everything!

Absolutely right, well said.

[ruiphillips]

Like they would ever admit or confirm what he said.

[Ramsay]

lol Perez being some kind of source in here when he is a known liar :joker: :joker:

Funny isn't it ha

[jaxie]

That's a vague denial by BB and of course it was Perez decision to stay, that doesn't mean the conversation with a member of the BB production team didn't happen before the decision was made.

I can't see what motivation Perez would have to lie. :shrug:

[CaudleHalbard]

Why on earth does anyone care? Unless it is being suggested Perez was offered extra money to stay - is that what folks on here are worried about?

[Suze]

I believe Perez was asked to stay, I also believe he was told he could chill out in the "secret room " and that's why he continued with the show .

I believe that also. There have been so many seemingly obvious manipulations in BB of late, especially when it concerns noms, so I wouldn't put it past them doing this at all.

[Robodog]

Perez said they convinced him to stay. There is nothing unusual about this.

That's what BB does EVERY TIME a HM says they want to walk. BB tries to convince them to stay. We have seen it for years in both Celeb and Civilian BB.

BB cannot FORCE a HM to stay. They are not the police.

Perez CHOSE to stay.

Why?

He needed the money. He admitted it himself in last night's show with James Jordan.

[Denver]

Because his whole life has been a lie
