Troubled celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has reportedly signed a legal document allowing his mother to gain custody of his three children after his disturbing livestream where he was seen covered in blood and appeared to be harming himself resulted in his hospitalization.
Teresita Lavandeira, the mother of Hilton — whose given name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. — filed for temporary custody of Mario, 13, Mia, 11, and Mayte, 8, on Aug. 7 in Miami, where the pioneering celeb blogger grew up and relocated to earlier this year from Las Vegas with his son and two daughters, all of whom were born via surrogacy. As of Wednesday, Hilton remains hospitalized in Miami under Florida’s Baker Act, which allows for the involuntary hospitalization of those with severe mental health issues.
“I realize that by signing this document, I am consenting to the Petitioner having temporary legal custody of the minor children and that such temporary custody is in the best interest of the children,” read the documents signed by Hilton. “I realize that the custody of my children by the petitioner is temporary and that I may, at any time, petition the court to return legal custody to me… I understand and acknowledge that I may have to comply with a reasonable transition plan prior to the court returning legal custody to me.”
