Perez Hilton In Tears After Being Banned From TikTok

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has posted a video of himself in tears after being banned from TikTok, saying that his world is 'crumbling'.

The 42-year-old posted the footage on YouTube, where he explains that he's reached out to 16-year-old TikToker Charli D'Amelio, who has 100 million followers - the biggest audience on the platform.

A distressed Hilton claims that the reason he was banned is for 'violating community guidelines', including harassment and bullying, but disputes this.

Speaking on the video, he says: "The reason that TikTok gave me for permanently banning my account without any warning is 'multiple community guidelines violations'.

"I am feeling numb, and I don't want to seem overly dramatic, but I feel like my world is crumbling. This feels like a death to me."

He says he has reached out to members of Charli's family on Instagram, 'begging them for help'.

Hilton continues: "If anyone could help me right now, it would be Charli D'Amelio's family. And with all of the humility in the world, I grovel to them and I pray that they could find kindness in their heart to please help me.

"I don't know if they've seen, they may not even check their message from me."

He goes on to speculate as to why he was banned, suggesting it could be because he makes videos where he talks about other creators, adding: "Those videos do well."

Hilton has come under fire in the past, particularly when he criticised D'Amelio for a video she posted when she was 15, which showed her dancing in a bikini. In response, 228,000 of her fans signed a petition to have him banned from the video-sharing platform.

In this new clip, he responds: "But I have not done anything that's harassing or bullying, and TikTok is claiming that I am, just by sharing news and sharing my opinion."

He says that TikTok may also have banned him for being 'critical' of the site's practices, to which he pledges to stop, saying he loves the site. He adds: "I will shut up."

Concluding his video, he says: "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, I beg."

"I feel really empty right now," Hilton says. He begins to tear up at the end of the message.
