Perez Hilton 'lucid' after mental health crisis, brother-in-law says Perez Hilton’s family has shared new details about the blogger’s health following his recent mental health crisis. On August 4, Miami police responded to a call about a TikTok livestream where Hilton engaged in self-harming behavior using a box cutter and knife, expressing suicidal intent. Authorities safely recovered him and placed him in a 72-hour hold under Florida’s Baker Act, which allows temporary detention for mental health evaluation. Hilton’s brother-in-law, Tom—married to the blogger’s sister, Barbara Lavandeira—discussed his condition during an appearance on “The Perez Hilton Podcast With Chris Booker.” Tom stated Hilton is now in a “lucid” state after treatment for physical injuries, with his care shifting to focus on mental recovery. “He’s going to be going into a facility that is going to focus on his mental recovery,” Tom said, adding that Hilton would not be making public appearances in the near future. The family revealed Hilton sustained broken bones and other injuries from the self-harming incident, with complications linked to a prior sepsis episode. Tom, who has known Hilton for over two decades, noted the abrupt move to a new city was “a little surprising” but not an immediate red flag. He referenced past relocations to New York City in 2016 and Las Vegas in 2023, emphasizing Hilton’s impulsive nature as part of his personality. “That part made sense,” Tom said, explaining that the structure of support in Miami and the recent near-fatal health scare likely contributed to the decision. Hilton’s mother, Teresita Lavandeira, filed a petition on August 7 for temporary custody of his three minor children, according to the Miami-Dade court case database.#miami_dade #perez_hilton #teresita_lavandeira #tom #barbara_lavandeira
