In response to a
statement this morning from blogger Perez Hilton promising any
money he received from the lawsuit he filed against the Black
Eyed Peas' manager who allegedly punched him, the
Matthew Shepard Foundation
thanked Hilton for the offer but said it couldn't accept
the donation.
"We do not know
the details of the lawsuit, whether it has been filed, the
nature of his claims or the likely outcome," a statement
from Judy Shepard reads. "But because the lawsuit
presumably involves the physical attack prompted by Mr.
Hilton's admitted use of an anti-gay slur, the Foundation
will be unable to accept any funds obtained in such a
manner."
