The Jackson family continues to move with grace. Following a deeply disturbing social media incident involving veteran gossip blogger Perez Hilton, singer and nephew of the late King of Pop took to X to address the situation with pure class, proving that taking the high road is always in style.
As we previously reported, Perez Hilton livestreamed a horrifying mental health crisis on TikTok from his Miami home, prompting thousands of panicked viewers to call 911. Miami-Dade authorities quickly responded, and the 48-year-old blogger was safely transported to a local hospital where he is currently receiving medical treatment.
While TikTok swiftly banned his account and wiped the footage, screen recordings had already begun circulating across platforms, leaving online communities shaken by the graphic visual cry for help. For the Jackson family, extending sympathy to Perez Hilton couldn’t have been easy. During the peak of his blog empire in the mid-2000s, Hilton built his platform on ruthless celebrity commentary, frequently targeting Michael Jackson and his children with venomous headlines and cruel doodles. Yet, when the news broke about Hilton’s state, TJ Jackson chose empathy over lingering bitterness, taking to social media to send love where many expected silence.
“Everybody is talking about this Perez Hilton video,” TJ tweeted. “I haven’t seen it but from what I’ve heard it’s horrible. One thing I’ll say…He hasn’t been nice to many celebs including my family. Nevertheless I never want to see anyone broken and in such a dark place. I am praying for his healing and his health.”
