Angelina Jolie threatens to sue Perez Hilton

Los Angeles - Angelina Jolie is threatening to sue Perez Hilton.

The lawyers for the 41-year-old actress - Bert Fields and Priya Sapori - have emailed the celebrity blogger to ask him to change certain aspects of his report on her split from Brad Pitt, or else he will face legal action.

Posting a screenshot of his email response on Instagram, that has now been deleted, the 37-year-old star wrote: "In other news, #AngelinaJolie's lawyers at Greenberg Glusker have just threatened to sue me for my coverage of her split from #BradPitt.

"ME!! I have always been one of Angelina Jolie's loudest and strongest supporters and defenders!!!!! This was my email back to Angelina's lawyers, #BertFields and#PriyaSapori. Glad I'm not running for president!! (sic)"

And the outspoken star isn't going down without a fight, as his response to the Maleficent star's lawyers said he wasn't "changing anythin" about his article, and that he demanded an "apology" from Angelina herself.

The response read: "Please get this message to Angelina Jolie herself. She KNOWS ... I have ALWAYS been a huge fan and SUPPORTER of hers!! I am livid!!! Unless she wants to turn me into an enemy, I want an apology right now. I am not changing anything. If you want to sue me, my lawyer is Brian Freedman and he is CC'd. I did nothing illegal. We stand 100% behind our reporting. Fuck YOU. And suck my dick! (sic)"
