Add BollywoodShaadis on GooglePerez Hilton found himself at the center of another controversy after he went live on TikTok, covered in blood. The blogger seemed delirious as he continued to harm himself while viewers sent help. The police soon arrived at his address, and after hours of back-and-forth, they were able to get Hilton to the hospital.
However, while the blogger is being treated in the hospital, reports have gone rife, with netizens debating that the entire thing was staged, while others have found a comparison between his actions and Ariana Grande's latest music video.
Hours after Perez Hilton's livestream, clips from the video started making headlines, and soon enough, fans were comparing theories as to what led the blogger to take such a step. While some called the video staged, others pointed out that he looked like he was in a drug-induced psychosis. On the other hand, certain groups of netizens even introduced a 'ritual' angle, drawing comparisons between his livestream and Ariana Grande's latest music video.
For the unversed, in the livestream, Perez Hilton could be heard repeatedly saying, "this is what you wanted" as he continued to hurt himself. The blogger was naked and covered in blood while he interacted with the chat. However, soon netizens began questioning if the entire live was real or staged.
Users pointed out why they thought that Perez Hilton's live was staged, as one said, "Why isn't blood dripping or squirting from those cuts? How come those slices aren't bleeding at all?" Another shared, "Publicity stunt. Used the same conviction as Monica did, trying to seduce Chandler with the knife. Just missing the carrots, Perez." A comment read:
"Typical Perez just seeking attention cuz no one cares about him anymore…that’s not even a real knife and none of that 'blood' is coming out of any cuts…this is DEFINITELY a psychotic break, but he’s not actually hurting himself."
However, soon videos of blood stains outside of Perez Hilton's house also started making rounds online. A user pointed out, "Those are real. They are oozing too but not deep enough to cause real harm. STILL SCARY. I'm so glad someone sent police and paramedics there to help him. Look close; that cut by his neck is real."
While many believed the entire thing was fake, another section of netizens began a discussion about Perez Hilton's actions being part of a 'ritual'. The discussion began after an X account shared how Hilton was talking about Ariana Grande and her decision to step away from the limelight a few days ago. Netizens began linking how it was strange that a few days later, he was covered in blood, just like Grande was in her recent music video.
An X user shared how it was eerily similar to Baal worship. The user quoted 1Kings 18:28 NRSV-CI, "Then they cried aloud and, as was their custom, they cut themselves with swords and lances until the blood gushed out over them." A user penned, "For you non-believers, it's time to start believing. Evil is real, the Devil is real, demons are real, and you're seeing it play out more and more: the music industry is under its control."
