Overview
- On Aug. 4 Perez Hilton livestreamed what viewers reported as acts of self‑harm, prompting multiple 911 calls and a Miami‑Dade deputy response to his Miami home.
- A Miami‑Dade incident report says first responders treated Hilton on scene for multiple lacerations and an overdose before he was transported to a hospital and held for psychiatric evaluation under Florida’s Baker Act.
- His sister, who was at the house, says she found him injured, removed his three children from the home, tended to his bleeding while awaiting emergency crews, and has since given eyewitness interviews about the night.
- TikTok removed the graphic livestream after about 10 minutes, which the company attributed to human moderation error, and the platform subsequently banned Hilton’s account for violating its rules.
- Hilton remains hospitalized with limited communication, his family says he suffered significant blood loss that required or will require surgery, and his mother has temporary custody of the children with court papers indicating his reported voluntary consent.
