Terrifying to think he has young dc. If this is a mental health episode he could have harmed them too. Did anyone see the livestream?

This is one of the wider issues with social media and the ability to “live” in moments of extreme distress and unfortunately Hilton is by no means the first and won’t be the last.
Increasing numbers of people are streaming self harm and suicide to the point that “controlling” it is a massive issue for tech companies. Particularly the spread and sharing of these things.
As social media has expanded its capabilities, its use has also changed over time and not for the better.
Young people in particular who are accustomed to living their lives online are particularly vulnerable.
Its tragic.

Your thread really is in poor taste OP.

No one with a basic amount of decency should seek and watch a video of that live stream if it is still available.

The poor man is obviously in a very distressed mental state and is now under medical care and no member of his family, or anyone else, were harmed during the incident.

Have a bit of respect.

He deserves no peace. He made a career out of being a vulture to others in their hour of need. . Karma is a real bitch.

But how are you any better as yoire doing rhe same, do you also deserve no peace? Are you not worried that karma will come for you too?

I’m not making money of a man’s mental health crisis. Never forget the T-shirts he had printed after heath ledger passed away wishing a young woman dead.

He really did do awful things.

But, as I said earlier, I cannot get on board with the karma thing at all. I personally think it's awful that people online are laughing and saying it was clearly attention seeking etc. Esp when there are 3 blameless children and his wider family involved.

Absolutely leave his children and family out of it, unfortunately not something that he afforded to his victims. I wish his children peace but not him, you don’t get to do those terrible things and not have a form of backlash when the tables are turned

ok You’re not making money , you’re doing it for what, fun? As you’re still doing it. The fact you’re not cashing in on it doesn’t make it better.

Me too and they canr seem to see they are doing exactly what they are attacking him for. Even worse, because of rhe context.

i can’t get on board with it either,

Verv · 07/08/2026 15:47

I think there's a vast difference between "attacking" and observing on MN that Hilton thrived on, contributed to, enjoyed, and profited from the exact kind of public misery that he is now enduring.
This event doesn't magically undo the years he spent haunting and taunting vulnerable women, and the concept that it should is laughable.
He isn't immune to criticism, and he has certainly earned it.

There’s an enormous difference to observing and wishing a terrible cretinous human being no peace, to attacking him.
Perhaps you should read up on what the now adult children of some celebrities have said about him, more specifically, the way he sexualised them. 🤢

But it's been well established that he had sepsis a few months ago; that he nearly died; that he said God presented himself to PH in the hospital; that he was then doing Bible readings; and that he was going to move to Miami with the kids, as God told him to sell up.
The sepsis and subsequent psychosis battle explains all of these things far more than substance abuse which has not been mentioned or suggested as having contributed or as something he has ever been involved with

The link doesn't open.
From what I have read, he overdosed during his episode. Is that correct?
If so, that has nothing to do with my post.

So he was on drugs. This may dispute that it is a result of sepsis.

Rumpledandcrumpled · 15/08/2026 14:10

The drugs he was on which led to sepsis was not class a;s it was flu tablets as he had flu.

He overdosed and was treated in the ambulance. I believe you said the following:

substance abuse which has not been mentioned or suggested as having contributed or as something he has ever been involved with

So, just an update. Not a 'gotcha'. I already knew.

And where is the evidence that he was involved in substance abuse?
An overdose isn't the same thing

I can show you the information but I can't make you understand it. Some work just has to be left down to you.
