Perez Hilton Cutting Himself: WATCH FULL VIDEO
Miami, August 5, 2026 — Celebrity blogger and podcaster Perez Hilton (real name Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr.) was taken to a hospital Tuesday night after a TikTok Live video from his Miami home raised serious concerns among viewers.
During the livestream, Hilton appeared to be in significant distress. Multiple people who watched the stream contacted emergency services, prompting the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office to respond to reports of an individual livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media.
Deputies arrived at the residence, spoke with family members who were present, and confirmed that Hilton was alone inside. Authorities monitored the situation. He was later safely recovered and transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to a local hospital, where he is receiving medical attention.
TikTok removed the livestream and suspended Hilton’s account. His representatives have acknowledged awareness of the concerning content that circulated online.
The incident has drawn widespread media coverage focused on the emergency response and Hilton’s hospitalization. Graphic details from the stream itself have not been widely republished by major outlets.
Hilton, 48, is a longtime entertainment commentator and father of three. He had previously spoken publicly about personal challenges, including a recent hospitalization earlier in 2026.
