Perez Hilton hospitalized after self-mutilating live at TikTok
The American businessman known as Perez Hilton was hospitalized last Tuesday, August 4, after the Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office police were sent to his home after he broadcast a video live on TikTok social network where he appears self-mutilating himself.
The agents were sent to the scene after receiving several calls from viewers concerned about what they had just seen live, a police spokesman referred to People magazine. When they got to the scene, they realized Perez Hilton was alone.
The social network TikTok was also criticized for acting too late. Hilton's transmission lasted about 30 minutes and, although it was cut and the bill suspended a few minutes later, many consider that the platform acted slowly.
According to the newspaper Mirror, it is not known for sure how many people saw Hilton's broadcast, but the publication notes that, at a certain point, there were 4,000 people watching live what the content creator seemed to be self-mutilating.
