Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is continuing to share his transformation, breaking down in tears while reading Scripture and reflecting on a new direction for his life.
“I’ve been crying, but happy tears… I’ve been reading the Bible… it’s just overwhelming in the best most beautiful way,” Hilton said in a recent video.
He explained that a passage about pruning deeply resonated with him, aligning with changes he had already begun making.
“I was reading about pruning… something that not only was I thinking of but I was doing already,” he said, pointing to efforts to simplify his life, including cutting down his social media activity.

Public Repentance
Hilton also openly addressed his past behavior.
“I made a lot of mistakes… my mistakes are very public,” he said. “I carry with me deep shame and regret. I’m sorry… I’ve apologized publicly and privately to dozens of people.”
He admitted his past was driven by attention and profit.
“I didn’t care who I hurt. I just cared about the views, the attention, the money,” he said.
Now, he says his focus has shifted.
“What matters is today. How I behave today, how I behave tomorrow,” he said. “God gave me a new lease on life… to truly be better and do better.”
From Crisis to Conversion
This moment builds on his earlier revelation after a life-threatening hospitalization with severe sepsis, where he said God revealed Himself to him and changed his life.
Raised Catholic but not previously committed in faith, Hilton described that experience as the turning point that led to his current spiritual journey.
A Call to Prayer
“My heart is filled with gratitude and love and repentance,” Hilton said.
As this story continues to unfold, let us pray that this transformation remains real, that repentance takes deep root and that his walk with the Lord produces lasting fruit.
