Perez Hilton's Sister On Witnessing Brother's Suicide Attempt: "I Didn’t Recognize My Brother When I Looked At Him"
Barbara Lavandeira, Perez Hilton’s sister, has done an interview with Page Six, and here’s an excerpt:
“That afternoon, Mario was in his bedroom with the door closed and locked, which wasn’t like him. His door was almost always open,” Barbara explained. “When I knocked, he said he was fine, but I could barely hear him. After I knocked a few more times and asked him to open the door, he stopped responding. I tried calling his cell phone in case he couldn’t hear me, but he wouldn’t answer. Something just felt wrong.”
When Barbara managed to enter the bedroom, she discovered he was locked in the bathroom and unlocked the door, coming face-to-face with her injured brother.
“When I opened the door, my nightmare became a reality. Mario was standing in front of the shower, naked, cut up, covered in blood, with a box cutter in his hand,” Barbara courageously shared.
“What I can say with certainty is that I didn’t recognize my brother when I looked at him. I saw it in his eyes. They didn’t look the same. Then, a split second later, he smiled at me. It felt like I was staring at someone else.”
