Perez Hilton receives an apology from Angelina Jolie

Los Angeles - Perez Hilton received an apology from Angelina Jolie's "crisis management expert" after her lawyers threatened to sue him.

The 37-year-old celebrity blogger was recently asked to change elements of a story he ran about the Maleficent star's split from husband Brad Pitt, and her lawyers threatened legal action if he didn't comply.

At the time, the star hit back by posting his email response on Instagram, demanding an apology from the 41-year-old star herself.

Speaking on Australian radio show The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Perez has now revealed that he did in fact get an apology, though not directly from the actress.
