Booker, who has co-hosted The Perez Hilton Podcast since 2015, has now addressed Hilton's hospitalization for the first time after the blogger's family released a statement describing the events surrounding his mental health crisis. Booker said in a statement on Instagram: "I am so profoundly sad for Perez and his family and what they're all going through. I read the statement that his team released and want to honour their wishes at this impossible time. Booker also addressed what Hilton's absence could mean for their long-running podcast, expressing hope that the pair would eventually be able to work together again. He said: "I certainly hope to continue them with my friend when the time is appropriate."
