  "account": "In the wake of Perez Hilton's self-harm incident, his co-host Chris Booker shared an update on the podcast's status, revealing that it remains uncertain for now. Booker expressed his profound sadness for Hilton and his family, stating that he had only spoken briefly with the family and honored their wishes regarding the release of information. Booker noted that Hilton's family was struggling to get updates due to the confidential security measures in place at the hospital, owing to the overwhelming number of people trying to obtain information. He assured fans that any updates would be shared on PerezHilton.com. When discussing the podcast with Hilton, Booker confirmed that its future status is also \"TBD\" as the collective focus is on Hilton's health. Booker expressed his hope that the podcast would continue when the time is appropriate, promising to provide updates when the time is right. The update came after Hilton's family and team shared a statement confirming that the blogger was receiving medical care and that their focus was solely on his well-being. The statement also requested that the public respect Hilton's and his family's privacy during this challenging period. Local law enforcement visited Hilton's Miami-area home on Tuesday evening following a TikTok live where he appeared to self-harm. The Sheriff's Office reported that Hilton had been safely transported to a local hospital for medical attention. For anyone struggling or in crisis, help is available by calling or texting 988 or visiting 988lifeline.org.",
