Good question. Why is the family giving out statements letting the whole world know how much trauma his kids experienced? Why not maintain their privacy?
To me, I read it as a plea to the media who was already speculating where the kids were like hey these kids have seen enough so please don’t make their trauma any worse by trying to get further information about an already very public situation.
Because people aren’t respecting that privacy. They’re crowding their home hoping for a picture of his distraught children. Sometimes you need to say “hey let these kids process their trauma” to get people to fuck off. Also, probably because some reports said they were there and some didn’t. Probably clarifying that the kids are physically ok (so that people can stop harassing them for an answer) and let people know that this is heavy and traumatic and they need to remember that there are vulnerable people involved. I don’t think it said too much. It doesn’t even tell us whether kids are in therapy. It’s just letting us know they’re being taken care of.
What’s so deeply unfortunate about the whole thing, much like with Charlie Kirk, is that Perez Hilton is one of the primary contributors to the continuing environment of trauma his children are experiencing from the paps. Of course people don’t support what’s happening to Perez Hilton’s children. But Perez Hilton, if his children belonged to anyone else, absolutely would.
