As we previously reported, Perez Hilton was hospitalized amid what appeared to be a mental health crisis on Tuesday.
The circumstances that led to Hilton’s apparent act of self-harm — which was documented on a TikTok livestream — remain somewhat hazy.
But a new report about Hilton’s finances adds some heartbreaking context to a series of events that have already left many fans and fellow creators deeply concerned.
According to TMZ, the longtime celebrity blogger had been quietly dealing with mounting financial pressure in the months leading up to his hospitalization, with medical bills and a dramatic decline in income reportedly taking a significant toll.
The outlet reports that Hilton — whose real name is Mario Lavandeira — had confided to people close to him that he was struggling to stay afloat after a string of serious health setbacks earlier this year.
A bout of sepsis reportedly led to a lengthy hospital stay, followed by additional complications that required emergency surgery just weeks later. Those medical emergencies not only sidelined his ability to work, they also left him facing enormous expenses.
Friends told TMZ that Hilton had become increasingly worried about supporting his family, describing him as the sole breadwinner for his household.
The financial strain reportedly compounded an already difficult period marked by health issues and a recent move back to Miami with his three children.
The revelations come one day after authorities responded to Hilton’s Miami home following a deeply concerning social media livestream.
Deputies ultimately transported him to a hospital, where he is receiving medical care. His family later confirmed that their focus is on his recovery and asked the public to respect his privacy during this difficult time.
In a statement shared Wednesday, Hilton’s loved ones thanked supporters for the outpouring of concern.
“We can confirm that Perez is receiving medical care, and our family’s focus right now is on his well-being,” the statement read, adding that updates will be shared if and when appropriate (via TMZ).
While Hilton built his name as one of the internet’s most influential celebrity gossip figures during the 2000s, the media landscape has changed dramatically over the past decade.
Like many independent digital publishers, he has spoken openly about declining traffic and the challenges of adapting to shifting algorithms and audience habits. Combined with significant medical expenses, those factors reportedly created an overwhelming financial burden.
For now, those close to Hilton are asking for compassion rather than speculation. The circumstances surrounding his hospitalization have prompted an outpouring of support from fans and fellow entertainers, many of whom have emphasized that his health and recovery are what matter most.
If you or someone you know is struggling or experiencing emotional distress, help is available. You can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

As you’ve likely heard by now, internet personality Perez Hilton was hospitalized Tuesday night amid what appeared to be a mental health crisis.
During a livestream that left fans horrified, Hilton allegedly cut himself with knives and threatened suicide.
Viewers were concerned for Hilton, of course, but many also expressed fears for his three children.
Fortunately, police have indicated that the kids were not at home at the time of the incident.
However, it’s unclear what will become of them now.
Hilton is a single father, and while he has family in the area — having recently moved from Las Vegas to Miami to be closer to his mother — there’s no word on whether any of them are in a position to take in his children.
The infamous blogger has been open about the fact that his elderly mother is very ill.
Hilton will likely be hospitalized for quite some time following this week’s incident, and the situation has sparked renewed interest in the lives and welfare of his three kids, all of whom were welcomed via surrogate.
“All kids are mine genetically,” he wrote in a Huffington Post essay in 2017, adding:
“Each was born thanks to the generosity of a different surrogate, using eggs from the same anonymous donor.
“While I don’t rule out adoption in the future, for me it was important to have kids with my DNA. My dad passed away when I was 15 and having my children is a way of him living on through them — literally.”
Hilton wrote about how much he “love[s] being a dad more than anything else” and “works hard at it,” explaining, “I have my hands very full changing diapers and taking kids to swim class. And I wouldn’t have it any other way!”
He announced the birth of his first child, a son named Mario, in February 2013.
“I am ready to announce that earlier this month I was blessed with the birth of my first child, a beautiful and healthy baby boy — with lots of hair on his tiny head,” he wrote on his website at the time.
“My family is overjoyed at this newest and most cherished addition,” Hilton continued. “I am so humbled to welcome this little man into my life. And I am honored and ready for the challenge of guiding him through his.”
In May of 2015, Hilton welcomed his second child, daughter Mia Alma.
“It is with great pride and relief that I can finally announce: I am a dad again!” he captioned the newborn’s Instagram debut at the time.
In October 2017, Hilton’s third child, Mayte, joined the family.
She “waited until 41 weeks to make her fashionably late arrival,” Hilton explained at the time.
For obvious reasons, concerns about Hilton’s kids are widespread this week. We hope that whatever else unfolds in the days to come, his children’s material and emotional needs are being met.

What does the ultimate lifestyle queen, Martha Stewart, think of Meghan Markle?
The Duchess of Sussex is diving deeply into that market, with As Ever and With Love, Meghan.
Meanwhile, Martha seldom minces words even when remaining extremely polite.
She actually met Meghan recently. That won’t necessarily make her assessment any kinder.
‘I had dinner with Meghan Markle the other night’
Speaking to people, the legendary Martha Stewart spoke to People about her encounter with the duchess.
“I had dinner with Meghan Markle the other night,” she shared.
Martha explained: “We were both guests at a dinner party in California.”
The other night is a little vague. She narrowed things down a little.
“And she had just gotten back from the palace,” the 85-year-old living legend specified.
In early July, Meghan and Prince Harry took their two children, Archie and Lilibet, on a trip to the UK.
During that time, there were royal meetings.
They also spent some time at Harry’s maternal ancestral home, which sent unhinged royalists into a frenzy.
Martha simply means that it was a few weeks ago.
As for the content of their exchange, she did share a little more — without telling tales out of school.
‘It doesn’t sort of follow’
“I didn’t talk to her really more than to say a couple words,” Martha clarified.
So it’s not really as though she was chatting up a storm.
This was more of a name-drop, it seems, even though surely Martha Stewart does not need to name-drop anyone.
“But I know she was talking about it,” Martha added.
During the interview, People then asked her if she had any thoughts on the duchess’ With Love, Meghan … which some might see as an intrusion into Martha’s fiefdom.
“If you’re an actress,” Martha amused, “it’s hard to then transition to a princess.”
She continued: “And then from a princess into a homemaking guru on a television show.”
Martha explained: “It doesn’t sort of follow. So go from there.”
That’s a little vague. It sounds like it could be potentially shady … but isn’t really a condemnation of Meghan.
It’s more or less indisputable that Meghan has had to put a lot of effort into changing her image from Duchess of Sussex to As Ever founder and lifestyle influencer. She is, after all, still a duchess.

Before Brittany Cartwright married Jax Taylor, friends and fans alike warned that he’s a compulsive liar and a serial cheater.
And in the months since her split from Taylor, Cartwright has been forced to repeatedly acknowledge how right those people were. Now, she’s going to that dark place again.
Yes, Brittany has officially broken her silence on one of the messiest reality TV relationship stories of the summer.
After weeks of speculation surrounding estranged husband Jax’s relationship with publicist Lori Krebs, The Valley star is speaking candidly. And her comments leave little doubt about where she stands.
“I never wish bad for anybody, but they have to be absolutely miserable,” Cartwright said in a new interview with People, adding:
“And I hope they are. I feel like I was taken advantage of by those two individuals and it is sick.”
Brittany also described Jax as “a narcissist who doesn’t have feelings” and claimed he admitted to sleeping with Krebs while speaking with another person.
As for Krebs, Cartwright’s criticism was even more pointed.
“I’ve never seen a snake like this before in my entire life,” she said.
“I’ve never seen another publicist want to be the center of attention like she did.”
The emotional interview comes just weeks after photos surfaced showing Taylor and Krebs looking very cozy while vacationing together at a resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The pair were photographed embracing in a swimming pool and spending time together, fueling rumors that had circulated for more than two years.
Taylor later appeared to confirm he was in a new relationship by replying to an Instagram follower, “No thanks I am taken,” though he stopped short of naming Krebs directly.
According to previous reports, Cartwright learned about the vacation photos shortly before they became public.
Sources close to the Bravo personality said she felt especially betrayed by Krebs, who had represented both Cartwright and Taylor professionally for more than a decade and had become a trusted friend. Following the photos’ publication, Cartwright reportedly ended their professional relationship.
The situation is particularly painful because Cartwright previously dismissed earlier rumors linking Taylor and Krebs back in 2024 after Krebs denied anything romantic was happening.
Last month, Cartwright hinted on her “When Reality Hits” podcast that she would eventually tell her side of the story, saying she wanted to focus on herself and her 5-year-old son, Cruz, before addressing the controversy publicly.
Now, it appears that moment has arrived. And knowing Jax, we’re sure there are plenty more revolting details to come.

This spring, Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll began the divorce process after a decade of marriage.
While the internet debates the truth of what caused their divorce, Bunnie is looking to the future.
But she explains that the 10-month affair that her ex carried on behind her back is making it hard.
The “betrayal trauma” is making it impossible to trust as she considers finding love again.
‘It’s the lies’
On the Monday, August 3 episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie Xo sat down with Denise Richards.
She didn’t have to name-drop her ex. You’ll probably be able to spot when she refers to Jelly Roll.
“When I had gone through a situation with an affair, it’s not the act that hurts you,” she reflected.
“It’s the lies,” Bunnie explained.
She characterized: “It’s just, like, whiplash.”
As Bunnie continued, she acknowledged that there’s really no upside to being cheated on.
“There’s no way to feel good about it,” she stated bluntly.
“Betrayal trauma literally rewires your brain to not trust people,” Bunnie explained.
She admitted that she feels hardwired “to just feel disgusting because you’re the last to know.”
Bunnie then explained: “Nobody ever wants to be the … last to know.”
Even so, they were married for a decade
In 2018, Bunnie discovered that her then-husband had engaged in a 10-month affair.
(This became public knowledge in 2025, when they first opened up about the incident.)
When they first married, both partners disliked monogamy, but that did not mean that they were in an open marriage.
Rather, Bunnie has since explained that they were “free, not open” which is a distinction.
Being open to threesomes as a couple is very different from one partner sneaking around behind his wife’s back to be with one specific mistress for nearly a year.
By the way, this is not “alleged” cheating.
Jelly Roll has openly discussed his deep regrets about the 10-month affair.
In October of last year, he spoke about how repairing the relationship had brought them closer and stronger than they had ever been before.
Obviously, it did not last as long as he had imagined.
Still, they had 10 years of marriage. Presumably, most of those years were good. Not the affair year, however. We’re sure that Bunnie — like so many others who feel betrayed by a loved one’s secrets — will take years to unlearn.
