Perez Hilton hospitalized after self‑harm TikTok livestream FAST-MOVING

On August 4‑5 2026, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton (legal name Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., 48) streamed a TikTok video that appeared to show him cutting himself with a knife, his torso covered in blood. The broadcast prompted multiple emergency calls to the Miami‑Dade Sheriff’s Office. Deputies arrived at his Miami home, spoke with family members on scene, confirmed he was alone, and employed a tactical disengagement while continuing to monitor the situation. The Sheriff’s Office Crisis Response Unit and licensed mental‑health professionals provided support to his family. He was safely recovered and transported by Miami‑Dade Fire Rescue to a local Miami hospital, where he is receiving medical care. Representatives of Golden Artists Entertainment said they were aware of the concerning content, were trying to contact him, and emphasized concern for his health and his family’s well‑being. No arrests or criminal charges have been announced, and authorities highlighted the use of de‑escalation protocols for mental‑health crises.
