However, it seems the contentious reporter has finally realized his mistake of ‘hurting’ people through his nonconsensual leaks.

Writing in his memoir, TMI: My Life in Scandal, Perez offered his apologies and said: “People wrote such hateful comments that I couldn’t bring myself to read even half of them.”

“The strength of the hate storm really shook me, and popped the bubble I had been living in. I realized for the first time that it wasn’t just a handful of people who disliked what I did — it was the overwhelming majority. I finally understood that the things I wrote genuinely hurt people, and deeply,” he went on to say.

“I didn’t care. That was partly down to being young and believing I would be successful forever, but it was also because I thought I was happy. In reality, I was drowning in negativity. I was stuck playing a part, too afraid to change, too afraid of losing my readers if I suddenly stopped being so mean,” he said further.
