Perez Hilton hospitalized following self-harm livestream

Media personality Perez Hilton, born Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., remains hospitalized in Florida following a graphic TikTok livestream in which he appeared to engage in self-harm. The incident, which occurred at his home, prompted multiple 911 calls and resulted in his involuntary inpatient treatment under the state’s Baker Act.

Family members and close associates report that Hilton faces potential “lifelong disfigurement” from the incident. While he has reportedly asked if his celebrity acquaintances have reached out to offer support, family members have allegedly been telling him that his friends are “in his corner” to avoid crushing him with the truth.

A family friend stated that despite Hilton’s history of cultivating relationships with high-profile figures, he has not received any flowers, cards, or visits from celebrities. The blogger is currently receiving care at an undisclosed facility.
