Perez Hilton podcast future remains undecided after hospitalization

The Perez Hilton podcast future remains undecided as he receives medical care, according to a Wednesday update from his cohost Chris Booker reported by TMZ.

Booker addressed both the pair’s iHeart podcast and related Patreon content, saying the immediate focus is Hilton’s health. He said he hopes he and his longtime friend can return to both projects when the time is right, TMZ reported.

Will Perez Hilton’s podcast return?

No return has been announced. As of Aug. 5, Booker had not set a new episode date or announced whether the show was formally paused, canceled, or set to continue with a replacement host.

That leaves the podcast’s next step open, rather than settled. Booker’s statement expressed hope for a future return with Hilton, but did not provide a timetable or production plan.

What led to the update?

Hilton was taken to a hospital by ambulance Tuesday night after police received multiple reports about concerning behavior during a TikTok livestream, TMZ reported. The Hollywood Reporter also reported that police responded to his Miami home after the livestream.

There has been no hospital statement in the available reporting describing Hilton’s condition or giving a date for his release or return to work. TMZ reported that he was undergoing a psychiatric evaluation after he arrived at the hospital.

Booker told TMZ that he had spoken only briefly with Hilton’s family and would respect their request for privacy. He said he was devastated for Hilton and his family.

For listeners, the practical update is narrow: no cancellation has been announced, but neither has a restart. Any future plan for the iHeart show or Patreon content has yet to be made public.
