Perez Hilton’s Brother-in-Law Details Recovery After Livestreamed Self-Harm Incident

Perez Hilton ‘s brother-in-law has provided an update on the celebrity blogger’s health , telling podcast host Chris Booker that he remains hospitalized as he’s treated for broken bones and wounds from a self-inflicted cutting incident that he livestreamed on TikTok earlier this month. Hilton fell during the livestream while suffering blood loss and was later treated for an overdose.

The incident took place on Aug. 4 and was streamed on TikTok for 30 minutes before being removed from the platform. Hilton’s children were in the home moments before it occurred and were rushed to safety before paramedics arrived and treated the single father of three for an overdose. Since then, the family has asked for privacy while continuing to share updates on Hilton’s recovery in a Miami hospital .

On Monday, Hilton’s brother-in-law Tom, who is married to his youngest sister, shared an update on the blogger’s condition — and further details on the incident and his children’s situation — as a guest on The Perez Hilton Podcast with Chris Booker .

Tom framed the incident in the context of Hilton’s recent, impulsive relocation from Las Vegas to his hometown of Miami. The move came after a health scare in which Hilton developed sepsis and brought him closer to a network of family members who could support him as he raises his three children.

“I think that if you know Mario, he can be a little impulsive at times. That’s part of him, it’s part of his personality,” Tom said. “I don’t know if that was a red flag, but we also had never had a situation with him as serious, medically, as that sepsis situation.”

Tom went on to update Hilton’s physical and mental condition as he begins his recovery.

“Up until about 48 hours or so before this recording, he was being treated for physical issues from the incident — the cutting and a couple of falls that happened during this process,” he said. “We’re now just transitioning into the mental side of things — the actual healing or digging into what caused this mental break, as I call it, hasn’t been discovered fully.”

Hilton’s physical injuries include broken bones, Tom said, adding that doctors also discovered other issues connected to his earlier struggle with sepsis.

“I don’t know how much he does or doesn’t recall,” Tom said. “We’ll get into that more once he’s in that setting, where we’re focusing on his mental health.”

Hilton has been in contact with family by phone through the hospital’s nurses’ station, as he isn’t permitted electronics in his room. His brother-in-law said Hilton hasn’t seen his children since the incident, as they’re not allowed in the section of the hospital where he’s being treated.

During the incident, Tom told Booker, Hilton believed he was doing the best thing he could for his children, all of whom were born via surrogacy. His family has since told him that isn’t the case.
