A month after suffering an alarming episode of mental health that resulted in her hospitalization in early August, Perez Hilton’s family shared a statement to report on the famous blogger’s current state.
According to his loved ones on the blogger’s website, Hilton — whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. — was discharged after healing his physical injuries and formally entered a residential treatment center. He will stay in this institution for several more weeks to focus all his attention on his emotional and psychological recovery.
“This was a crucial step, but there is still a long way to go,” the family said in a statement released Monday. The 48-year-old has no access to cell phones or computers, andins a strictly limited contact with his external environment to prioritize his recovery process.
In the same text, the blogger’s neighbors used to deny various malicious rumors that circulated on social media over the last few weeks. They clarified that Hilton does not suffer memory loss, is not worn or covered with gases, and has not made extravagant requests since his internment. “Perez is lucid and communicates with clarity with his family,” they said to give tranquility to his followers.
As for the well-being of their closest circle, the family confirmed that the content creator’s three children are under full-time care of their maternal grandmother, who seeks to maintain the routine and stability of the home.
“Our family’s priority remains to offer children as much normality as possible while their father focuses on improving,” they added.
Finally, Hilton’s surroundings thanked for the constant wave of support messages and showings of affection received since the incident occurred during a live broadcast in early August. “Now, Perez’s only job is to get healthy; our one is to support him and protect his children,” the statement concluded.
