Overview
- A Miami-Dade judge gave Teresita Lavandeira temporary legal custody of Perez Hilton’s three children and allowed the father supervised visitation only after he gets psychiatric clearance.
- The court specified that visits must be supervised by a therapist or a family member agreed to by both sides and will remain supervised until the court says otherwise.
- The temporary order gives the grandmother authority to consent to the children’s medical, dental, and psychiatric care and to enroll or place them in school programs.
- Court filings and family statements say Hilton was hospitalized after an August livestream in which he appeared to harm himself, underwent surgery, and received treatment for an overdose, and he remains in inpatient care.
- The case has been sealed to protect the children’s privacy, the family has asked for space while he recovers, and TikTok has banned Hilton’s account after saying human error allowed the livestream to run.
