3 articles · Updated · Yahoo! Voices · Aug 21

Summary

  • Court documents show Perez Hilton can see his three children only under supervision by a mental health professional or a mutually approved family member.
  • Teresita Lavandeira, Hilton's mother, received temporary custody after his Aug. 4 TikTok livestream showed him bloodied, self-harming and expressing suicidal intent.
  • Hilton signed the arrangement, giving Lavandeira authority over school enrollment, medical care and other parental decisions while he undergoes recovery.
  • Miami police said they safely recovered Hilton that night and placed him on a 72-hour Baker Act hold; his family said Monday he remained hospitalized in an inpatient facility.
  • The family said the children, niece and sister were inside the home during the livestream and asked for privacy as the children return home and begin rebuilding normalcy.
