Perez Hilton Hospitalized After Alleged Self-Harm During TikTok Live Stream

Perez Hilton, the American content creator known for his celebrity gossip blog, was hospitalized in Miami, Florida, following a mental health crisis and alleged self-harm during a TikTok live stream. The incident, which quickly went viral, prompted widespread concern among users about the influencer's emotional state.

According to TMZ, Hilton is currently undergoing a 72-hour psychiatric evaluation. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to his residence after receiving multiple emergency calls. Reports indicate that Hilton used a knife to inflict lacerations on himself.

Hilton, born Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. in Miami in 1978, launched his popular blog PerezHilton.com in 2004. The site gained notoriety for its unfiltered commentary and humorously edited celebrity photos. During the 2000s, his blog was a go-to source for Hollywood news, leading him to interview international artists and appear on television programs.

Despite his influence, Hilton has also drawn criticism for the tone of his publications and for public confrontations with stars like Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, and Lindsay Lohan. In recent years, he has shifted his focus to social media, YouTube, and podcasts, while also sharing aspects of his personal life, including being a father of three. His loved ones have stated that his well-being is the top priority.
