Perez Hilton's Mother Files for Temporary Custody After His Mental Health Crisis

Teresita Lavandeira sought temporary custody of her three grandchildren — Mario, 13, Mia, 11, and Mayte, 8 — in Miami-Dade court on August 7. This followed Perez Hilton's hospitalization under Florida's Baker Act, which permits involuntary psychiatric evaluation, after a livestreamed self-harm incident three days earlier. His family says the 48-year-old remains in serious condition and will need surgery.
