TJ Jackson Rejects Revenge After Perez Hilton’s Mental Health Crisis

TJ Jackson addressed the situation on X after footage of a distressing livestream involving Hilton circulated online. While acknowledging that Hilton had been unkind to his family and many other celebrities, Jackson stated he could not find joy in another person’s suffering. He argued that a healthy ego does not require the validation of revenge, urging the public to lean into love rather than hostility. To support his stance, he cited Martin Luther King Jr.’s philosophy that hate is a burden too heavy to carry.

Hilton, legally named Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., was hospitalized Tuesday after authorities responded to his Miami-area home during a mental health crisis. Surveillance footage captured by a neighbor showed sheriff’s deputies attempting to communicate with the blogger before the situation was resolved. His family has since issued a statement requesting privacy, emphasizing that their primary focus remains on helping Hilton’s children navigate the trauma of the event. They have specifically asked the media and the public to stay away from their residence to help the children regain a sense of security.
