Renowned American blogger and media personality, Mario Lavandeira, known professionally as Perez Hilton, is in a "serious but stable" condition after an incident of self-harm during a livestream on TikTok. The event took place at his Miami residence on Tuesday, prompting concerned viewers to contact emergency services. Subsequently, the Miami sheriff's office responded to reports of a man livestreaming acts of self-harm. Hilton is currently under Florida's Baker Act, a law that provides mental health crisis services, and is expected to undergo surgery in the coming days due to significant blood loss. The incident occurred on his popular TikTok account, which was subsequently flagged by automated moderation systems within minutes and reviewed by the company's US moderation team. However, a moderator error caused a delay in the removal of the livestream. TikTok has since closed several subsequent streams and banned the account. Perez Hilton gained fame with his celebrity gossip blog launched in 2005, named after Paris Hilton during her time at the pinnacle of her career. The website garnered 8 million hits daily, a significant number for the relatively nascent internet era. Although criticized for its vicious commentary toward stars like Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga, Hilton has since expressed regrets about being "mean or cruel." He has also ventured into reality TV shows such as Celebrity Rap Superstar and Celebrity Big Brother.
