Hilton's brother-in-law says he suffered broken bones during suicide attempt

Perez Hilton was hospitalized after a suicide attempt that resulted in broken bones and other injuries, according to his brother-in-law Tom, who spoke on the "Perez Hilton Podcast with Chris Booker." Tom said the injuries stemmed from cuts and several falls during the incident and that Hilton had been receiving treatment for the physical wounds for about two days before the interview.

"So we are now just transitioning into the mental side of things," Tom said, adding that psychiatrists are monitoring Hilton while he remains in the hospital to prevent further self-harm.

Tom noted that the underlying cause of Hilton's mental crisis has not yet been identified and may never be known. He emphasized the need to focus on physical recovery before addressing the psychological aspects.

The media personality, whose legal name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., attempted self-harm during a livestream on Aug. 4, cutting himself with a knife and sustaining significant blood loss. Family members left the home as the situation escalated. A family statement said Hilton is being held under Florida's Baker Act, his condition is serious but stable, and he will require surgery for his injuries.

In addition to treating the cuts and broken bones, doctors addressed an overdose. Last week, Hilton was granted supervised visitation with his three children—Mario, 13, Mia, 11, and Mayte, 8—under the oversight of a therapist or agreed family member.
