Jared Padalecki apologizes for supporting Perez Hilton after self-harm incident

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton (Mario Lavandeira Jr.) was hospitalized in serious but stable condition after appearing to engage in acts of self-harm during a TikTok Live broadcast. The incident prompted a response from Miami authorities, who visited his residence to provide assistance and de-escalation.

Actor Jared Padalecki, known for the series "Supernatural," initially posted a message of support for Hilton on social media, noting that "this 'being human' is a strange thing." However, Padalecki later deleted the post and issued an apology, stating he was unaware of the extent of Hilton's controversial past and his history of mocking the mental health of others. Padalecki clarified that he had previously felt Hilton had not been kind to him, but chose to offer grace, unaware of the blogger's broader reputation.
