Perez Hilton’s Sepsis Battle Sparks Self-Harm Crisis Fears, Friends Say

Perez Hilton’s inner circle fears his bout with sepsis may have triggered a severe mental-health crisis, including a livestreamed self-harm incident. Medical experts note that post-sepsis psychological issues can persist for months or years. Hilton, 48, was hospitalized for sepsis (and later a blood clot), with his family saying he was in extreme pain and that his children were moved to safety during the crisis; authorities responded to the self-harm incident and Hilton reportedly told responders, “I need help.”
