Perez Hilton livestreams apparent self-harming video, cops respond to celeb blogger’s Miami home

1 hour ago 4

Police have responded to Perez Hilton’s Miami home after the celebrity blogger shared what appeared to be a video in which he self-harms.

Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Newsweek they’d received “multiple calls” of an individual livestreaming acts of self harm and dispatched deputies to investigate.

Officers spoke with Hilton’s family members who were on the scene and, as the outlet noted, decided to “tactfully disengage” while continuing to monitor the situation.

“In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize de-escalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication,” the Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement obtained by Newsweek.

“Unless there is an immediate threat to others, slowing the situation and utilizing crisis intervention techniques can reduce the likelihood of a suicide-by-cop encounter and minimize the risk of injury to the individual, deputies, and the public,” the statement continued.

The blogger, born Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., is father to three children welcomed via surrogacy.

Page Six has reached out to representatives for Hilton but has not heard back.
