Perez Hilton, a celebrity blogger, was hospitalized last week after a mental health crisis at his South Florida home. His mother has now filed for temporary custody of his three children, citing concerns for their safety and well-being.
Mental Health Crisis
Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, livestreamed what appeared to be self-harm on TikTok before the platform pulled the video. Viewers pleaded with him to stop and asked for his phone number to alert authorities.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office responded to multiple calls regarding the livestream and confirmed that Hilton was the person involved. He was subsequently hospitalized and stabilized, but his family said he would require surgery.
Natalie F. Guerra-Valdes, an attorney representing Hilton’s mother, stated that the family’s main concern is to protect the children and ensure their safety during this difficult time.
