Is Perez Hilton back on social media?<\/p>\n
When some folks opened their Instagram app late Tuesday night, they may have been surprised to see his page active. There were two fresh clips shot at last week\u2019s New York City premiere of the upcoming movie \u201cSpa Weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
One post is one of the comedy\u2019s stars, Isla Fisher, striking a pose in a shimmery dress. The other clip is the Aussie actress yukking it up with costars Anna Faris, Michelle Buteau and Leslie Mann on the red carpet.<\/p>\n
The caption for both explains the \u201chilarious\u201d flick, about a girls\u2019 trip gone wrong, is in theaters this Friday.<\/p>\n
But as most of the people who follow Hilton\u2019s account know, the gossip legend remains hospitalized after an alarming TikTok Live Aug. 4.<\/p>\n
First responders rushed to his Miami home after multiple 911 calls reported the blogger was engaging in acts of self-harm. He was taken to the hospital and is reported to be in serious but stable condition. He remains under the medical care for both his physical and emotional state, according to a statement on his official, eponymous website.<\/p>\n
Many commenters were perplexed to see new content from Hilton\u2019s account pop up. The last post was on the same day, Aug. 4, featuring the \u201cTed Lasso\u201d premiere in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow?\u201d questioned one fan under the solo Fisher post. \u201cIs he OK?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hilton (real name Mario Lavandeira Jr.) is obviously not the person sharing the footage and, unfortunately, not OK.<\/p>\n
The Belen Jesuit alum\u2019s younger sister Barbara Giarraffa wrote on his site she would be taking over digital duties<\/a> while her brother recovers. The L.A. resident, who helped him start his blog two decades ago, also revealed she was at the house at the time of the emergency. TikTok has permanently banned Hilton\u2019s account for violating the platform\u2019s community guidelines.<\/p>\n Giarraffa, who also was born and raised in Miami, explained she used to work with Hilton before the father of three moved to Las Vegas a few years ago. The 42-year-old appears to be getting some help. She tagged celebrity photographer John Pascarella, who reshared the \u201cSpa Weekend\u201d premiere on his own page.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know is thinking about self-harm, call the toll-free National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255). It\u2019s available 24\/7. You can also dial 988.<\/p>\n
