A Disturbing Livestream Draws Alarm
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, whose legal name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., alarmed viewers Tuesday evening during a TikTok livestream that reportedly showed him harming himself. According to the source report, the video was graphic and showed Hilton nude, with visible blood, while using a knife. TikTok suspended the account, and clips were later reposted on X by users urging people to pray for him. His condition was described as unknown at the time of the initial report, though an update said he was later taken away by ambulance late Tuesday night.
Police Responded After Calls Flooded In
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office reportedly received many calls from people who saw the livestream and were concerned about Hilton’s safety. Deputies went to his South Florida home and confirmed he was alone inside. A statement given to The U.S. Sun said that in mental health crisis or self-harm situations, deputies often focus on de-escalation by creating time, distance, and chances for communication. The office said that, unless there is an immediate threat to others, slowing the situation can reduce the risk of injury to the person involved, deputies, and the public.
Viewers First Wondered If It Was a Stunt
The source report said some social media users first thought Hilton may have been staging a dramatic act for TikTok viewers. That impression reportedly changed as the situation appeared more serious and possibly tied to a mental health crisis. One post cited in the report said Hilton had been a hospital patient in Las Vegas in recent months due to physical health issues, but no official medical details were provided. Out of respect for the seriousness of the situation, speculation should be avoided beyond what authorities and confirmed reports have stated.
Hilton Is Best Known for His Celebrity Blog
Hilton became widely known through PerezHilton.com, his long-running celebrity gossip site. The source also noted that he has three biological children, a son and two daughters, all born through surrogacy. The report did not provide further details about his current medical status after he was taken by ambulance. In a case involving apparent self-harm, the priority is clear: safety, medical care, and accurate updates from reliable sources rather than viral guessing games.
