Reading Time: 2 minutesOn Tuesday night, video of internet personality Perez Hilton suffering what appeared to be a severe mental health episode rapidly spread across all social media platforms. As livestream viewers encouraged him to put down the weapon and check into a hospital, Hilton threatened suicide and made other deeply troubling comments. Deputies used crisis intervention and de-escalation strategies before Hilton was transported to a hospital for medical care. The 48-year-old is a father of three young children, but early reports indicate that none of them were at home during his most recent episode. The incident has prompted an outpouring of concern from both fans and critics on social media.
