Transcript

We just got an official update on what's going on with Perez Hilton's children. Were they there? What's going on with him? He's still barricaded in his home with the cops. This is insane. Now, he was live on TikTok for 30 minutes and made an attempt, but a lot of people were screaming, what's going on with his kids? Some people said they were happening. Here's what we know. This is an official statement from the son. So they say that the cops there in Miami Dade got a bunch of calls about this saying that he was online doing these things. They went to the home, they spoke with family. He is home alone. Children. Thank God the children are not there. They say in situations like this, they want to try to deescalate the situation, so they're trying to monitor from a distance. They're afraid if they come in and do something too much, he may just decide not to be here. Well, they're still communicating with him. They are also tactfully disengaging with him to try and not make the situation worse. Now, we still don't know why this happened. A lot of people think it's from the stress this year of court and what happened, lively. Some people think it could be some of the medical history he's had over the last year. Whatever it is, I'm praying he gets the help he needs.
