Perez Hilton hospitalized after livestreamed self-harm; surgery planned
Perez Hilton (Mario Lavandeira) is in serious but stable condition at a Florida hospital after a Tuesday night livestream that appeared to show self-harm. He has been stabilized but will require surgery for injuries and significant blood loss, with his family saying recovery will be a long process. The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office responded to the home, and TikTok removed the livestream after an automated moderation flag, later clarified to have been delayed by a moderator error. Hilton is reportedly hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act, and his family says they are focused on his treatment and recovery; he has not spoken publicly since the incident.
