Perez Hilton Treated for Overdose After Alarming Live Stream
Perez Hilton was treated for an overdose following an alarming TikTok live stream earlier this month, according to a Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office incident report, obtained by TMZ.
As we reported, the internet personality — legal name Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. — was taken to a Miami-area hospital on August 4, after authorities responded to reports of a possible suicide attempt at his home.
According to the police report, fire rescue personnel treated Perez at the scene for multiple injuries and an overdose before he was transported to the hospital.
His sister told cops her brother was “unusually quiet” that day and had locked the bedroom door … which she said was unusual.
She told cops she asked Perez if he was okay from behind the locked door, and he said he was fine … but she became “more concerned” when Perez unlocked the door, and she saw him naked and covered in blood.
Perez’s sister says she then rushed to take his children out of the home, and they got into her vehicle. While they were in the car, Perez walked out naked and bloody and started banging on the driver’s window. She said she drove away once she saw police arrive.
She told cops Perez previously received treatment and had been dealing with depression, anxiety, and overwhelming thoughts following his hospitalization for sepsis earlier this year.
As we reported, Perez was then placed under Florida’s Baker Act, which allows authorities to temporarily hold someone for a mental health evaluation when they believe the person may pose a danger to themselves or others.
Perez’s family announced he suffered injuries requiring surgery and has been recovering with their support.
A TikTok spokesperson told us his account was also banned following the livestream.
Perez has not publicly addressed the details of the incident as he remains in treatment.
