Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton’s mother has filed for temporary custody of his three children following a disturbing incident that led to his hospitalization for a mental health crisis.
Perez Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, was hospitalized after a live stream on TikTok showed him harming himself. The incident prompted his mother to seek temporary custody of his children, citing concerns for their safety and well-being.
According to court documents, the request for custody was made to ensure the children have a sense of normalcy as they begin their journey of healing after the traumatic events. Hilton’s family has asked the public to respect their privacy and allow the children to safely return home and rebuild a sense of security.
Hilton’s Mental Health Crisis
The celebrity blogger was ‘Baker-Acted’, a term used in Florida to describe laws that allow for temporary detention for an involuntary psychiatric evaluation. Hilton’s family stated that he remained hospitalized in serious condition and had been stabilized, but his injuries would require surgery.
Hilton’s three children, all under the age of 14 and born via surrogacy, were inside the home minutes before the live stream began. They immediately fled the scene to protect them from witnessing further trauma.
The incident has sparked concerns for Hilton’s well-being and the safety of his children. As the family navigates this difficult time, they remain focused on Hilton’s treatment and recovery.
