Summary
Barbara Lavandeira said she found Perez Hilton covered in blood in his Miami bathroom on Aug. 4 after he stopped responding during a TikTok livestream in which he repeatedly cut himself and made suicidal threats.
30 minutes into the stream, she said she moved his three children and her daughter out of the house, called 911, then returned to place towels on him to slow the bleeding.
Hilton remained hospitalized in Miami as of Thursday, and his mother has begun legal proceedings to take temporary custody of his three children.
Lavandeira said she spoke publicly to counter rumors and rejected online claims that the incident was "comeuppance," saying her brother has long acknowledged and apologized for harm caused early in his gossip-blog career.
Page Six said Hilton had struggled since moving from Las Vegas to Miami earlier this year, after a three-week March hospitalization for an ulcer, perforation and sepsis left him with mounting medical bills.
