Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic On Tuesday, a flood of online users reported that celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was allegedly live-streaming acts of self-harm on TikTok. The video on the social media platform appears to have since been taken down.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Rolling Stone that it received multiple calls regarding an individual who was live-streaming acts of self-harm on social media and that deputies located the individual’s residence, who was alone inside. The Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Hilton was involved in the incident and said spoke with family members on scene.
“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,” read a statement from the Sheriff’s Office. “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 concluded, “At this time, deputies have tactically disengaged while continuing to monitor the situation and providing the needed support to his family.”
