Summary
Aug. 7 court records show Teresita Lavandeira petitioned for temporary custody of Perez Hilton's three children after his Aug. 4 self-harm livestream and hospitalization in Miami.
Barbara Lavandeira told Page Six she found the 48-year-old blogger locked in a bathroom, injured and holding a box cutter, then rushed the children from the home and called 911.
The family said Hilton was later held under Florida's Baker Act for involuntary mental health evaluation, adding that his treatment and recovery will be a long process.
The custody filing was sealed at Teresita Lavandeira's request, and her lawyer said the family's priority is the children's safety, normalcy and healing after last week's events.
