Celebrity gossip muckraker Perez Hilton posted a tearful video to Twitter December 12 in a desperate plea. TikTok has banned Hilton from its platform, leaving him in a state of emotional meltdown.
“The reason that TikTok gave me for permanently banning my account without any warning is ‘multiple community guidelines violations’,” Hilton, 42, lamented in the video. He went on to explain that he’s used to getting banned on social media platforms, and had created a “backup” account on TikTok in case he found himself kicked off the platform. Hilton claims that TikTok shut down both accounts and banned him for life for “harassment, bullying and nudity.”
“I am feeling numb, and I don’t want to seem overly dramatic, but I feel like my world is crumbling,” Hilton wailed. “This feels like a death to me.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Note to Mr. Hilton: it does seem overly dramatic.
A tearful Hilton then went on to discuss his “Christmas miracle” maneuver, in which he messaged TikTok personality Charli D’Amelio, as well as her family, in hopes of getting the ban lifted.
“If anybody can help me right now, it’s Charli D’Amelio’s family,” Hilton added. “Please, Charli D’Amelio, please message me back on Instagram. Please. Please help me. I know you don’t owe me that, but I beg of you. I beg of you. I grovel,” he pleaded.
Hilton, for his part, claims he did nothing to warrant the ban, and called the TikTok system “flawed.”
This is not the first time Hilton has run afoul on social media. In the past, celebrities including Azalia Banks, Neil Patrick Harris, Renee Zellweger and Lady Gaga have all been the targets of harassment by Perez Hilton. He has also attracted criticism for outing celebrities, trying to raise his children to be “straight,” and supporting Donald Trump’s attempts to end birthright citizenship. Hilton also claims he can’t get a date.
We can’t imagine why.
I Am Banned From TikTok! Dear Charli D’Amelio…
Please watch! Please help! I am devastated. Truly. I am begging! Please! This is not right or warranted. #FreePerez #PerezHilton@CharliDamelio @tiktok_us @TikTokSupport @tiktokcreators @tiktok_comms pic.twitter.com/NtYLqVabqe

Perez is an incredibly trivial person. The greatest threat to his well-being is that he can’t post videos on Gen Z social media platform? The hell?
Dijonaise
He never gave a crap about the emotional damage he has done to others, screw him!
pattygale
Perez has no humility, and even tho I have no idea what he sis on TikTok, I know he has always been a nasty, vengeful, petty person who has no problem attacking others. Everything is all about HIM. Well, good riddance.
He doesn’t cry for those he’s harmed, only for himself. He’ll never change.

“I am feeling numb, and I don’t want to seem overly dramatic, but I feel like my world is crumbling,” Hilton wailed. “This feels like a death to me.” Imagine what she would do if faced with an real crisis. Or a threat to her life. It’s TikTok for Christ’s sake. Does she make money on the platform? Is that why she’s so upset? She needs to go away.

Time to flush this foolish shite !
xanadude
Perez overly dramatic??? NEVER! lol Aren’t you getting a little old for these antics (and Tik Tok)?
Phillip
I wish Tweeter would ban Drumpf.
How can we accomplish that?
Four years of whining has become a bit tedious.

Could be as soon as Jan 20th when he leaves office.

I’ve been saying that for FOUR years!!! He would have imploded already….

I feel sorry for this idiot’s children. He’s not fit to raise them. He needs therapy and has needed therapy for many years. He has hurt people and doesn’t know or care that he has. He needs to be banned from everything.

Please step in front of a bus…

Wow! It’s so nice to see someone show the same love, compassion, and tolerance they think they are owed and expect others to show it. It’s a two-way street toots.

As a gay man and an ardent supporter of the gay community, I find Perez Hilton the most obnoxious of all known gay personage. He doesn’t possess even one single redeeming quality, and I’ve always been amazed that he has the celebrity that he does.
jonasalden
I can’t believe Tik Tok means that much to him!

perez and milo are two sides of the same nasty-ass coin
Doug
Wondering why he has Gaga’s gold record on his wall in the background.
whateverokok
Probably cause he bought it. It’s not hard to get an artist’s gold or platinum records. I’ve seen a bunch for sale on eBay from famous, more talented artists than Lady Gag Gag. A lot of talented, more respected artists are selling their song catalog just to make ends meat. Musicians can’t tour right now and that’s where they make their money.

I don’t care about this guy, may he drift off into obscurity
WSnyder
He doesn’t realize that he’s crying not because of being banned, he’s really crying because in the back of his mind he knows he’s irrelevant and it’s catching up to him.
He’s quickly falling down the path of obscurity and in a year or two when his name gets mentioned, people will be thinking it’s about a a hotel in Paris.

Perez recently popped up on my TikTok feed. His content was bad. I thought he had like a million followers when I checked. I was stunned that that many people would follow him. He really isn’t a good person.
Karlis
Aaaaw. Poor wittle baby.
cuteguy
He’s a millionaire and he still looks like this?! Does he own a mirror? For someone who’s made a career of criticizing others looks ie Rumer Willis, etc, why hasn’t he himself visited a plastic surgeon yet? Even that weight loss can’t cure fugly. He’s fugly inside and out
Phil H
I clicked on this, and that’s my fault, but this whole story is about the most pathetic thing I’ve read all year. In 2020 that is really saying something.
Cam
He has kids and yet THIS is what he’s crying about? Imagine the meltdown if one of them gets a skinned knee.
stagehand1
He’s finally exactly where he belongs,
No where!
succubus
he is incredibly unattractive
ARTmark
So wait a minute!!! This little entitled girl has all of that power over TikTok?!! Why doesn’t he talk to someone AT TikTok instead of an adolescent. Pretty unseemly groveling to a 14 year old girl. WTF?!! ….And this is not to disparage his looks, but I couldn’t help think that if he put on green make-up, he would look exactly like The Grinch (really, watch again!)
michael_bates
What a great role model for your children, or should I say your accessories. This video is truly vile , I mean coming from someone who body shames, outs individuals, and just down out vicious. I have to say the silencing of PH is making this holiday season a little brighter. Now someone should call child protection for this poor children being used as photo- ops, props in his shallow life, and a stepping stone to try and legitimize himself. He so wants to be in the Cohen/Cooper/Harris playgroup! Perez the mic has dropped, the fat lady is singing, and your 15 minutes of fame is …. poof ….GONE.
dustychiffon
I find this story disturbing. It’s scary to see somebody who has three children saying that being pushed off a social media platform, by his own behavior, makes him feel like he’s dying. Warranting tears and asking for help? Oh 2020.
I thinks CPS should start to take little visits as this seems far from stable.
