life-threatening medical experience<\/a>.<\/p>\nOn March 23, Hilton revealed that he had been hospitalized for three weeks with severe sepsis and infections. In a candid video, he said God had \u201cpresented himself to me\u201d during the ordeal and changed him through the experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cGod presented himself to me and then did something. Something I can only call miraculous\u2026 it was real, and this has been life-changing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the entertainment columnist posted another tearful video to social media in which he apologized for past mistakes and said he had begun reading the Bible again.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been crying, but happy tears. Happy tears. Because this is just, this is just so crazy. I\u2019ve been reading the Bible, and so much of what is said here I had already been thinking of. It\u2019s just overwhelming in the best, most beautiful way,\u201d he said, while holding up a Bible to the camera.<\/p>\n
Hilton said what he was reading in Scripture mirrored changes he had already begun making in his personal life, and he expressed remorse for what he described as past \u201cselfish\u201d behavior.<\/p>\nHilton was hospitalized for three weeks with severe sepsis and infections. theperezhilton\/instagram<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI made a lot of mistakes in my past. We all have. Nobody\u2019s perfect,\u201d he said. \u201cBut my mistakes are very public. The internet is forever. Receipts are forever. I carry with me deep shame and regret. I\u2019m sorry. I will continue to apologize. I have also reached out to make amends. I\u2019ve apologized publicly and privately to dozens of people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I was so selfish, because I didn\u2019t care who I hurt. I just cared about the views, the attention, the money \u2014 people hated me,\u201d he continued. \u201cSome people enjoyed it, but it felt like most people hated me. And last week, since I\u2019ve been home, I haven\u2019t been getting as much hate, and I\u2019ve been getting love and prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hilton acknowledged the backlash he has received over the years for his online reporting and said some people still \u201cwant to see me suffer,\u201d but added that he believes God loves him and has forgiven him.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I know that some people are fed up with me talking about God. You don\u2019t have to watch these videos. You don\u2019t have to watch. I love God. My experience was real. My testimony is important,\u201d he said.<\/p>\nHilton said he had begun reading the Bible again. Perez Hilton\/YouTube<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHilton vowed to be a better person going forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat matters is today. How I behave today, how I behave tomorrow,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd not only did God save me in so many ways, but God gave me a new lease on life and a new opportunity to truly be better and do better.\u201d<\/p>\n
