Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…TikTok addressed the delay in removing Perez Hilton’s self-harm livestream Tuesday evening, attributing it to “moderator error.”
While the livestream was sent to the U.S. moderation team for review, a TikTok spokesperson told press that a “moderator error” delayed its removal and the suspension of Hilton’s account.
A TikTok spokesperson shared similar details with TheWrap when asked for comment but did not receive further clarification.
As for the ongoing commentary online that Hilton’s livestream was left up for at least 30 minutes, TikTok defended to outlets that it was up for “half” that time.
Additionally, the spokesperson shared that Hilton’s subsequent TikTok lives were cut off within 90 seconds.
