Ireland Baldwin is speaking out about Perez Hilton following his recent hospitalization, and her response is more complicated than it might seem
The model, 30, addressed Hilton’s hospitalization on Instagram after he was taken to a Miami hospital following a mental health crisis earlier this week. While Baldwin did not shy away from her painful history with the celebrity blogger, she also expressed concern for his children and said she hopes he gets the help he needs

Baldwin, the daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, accused Perez of publicly humiliating her family for years and of making inappropriate comments about her when she was younger
She also recalled him commenting on her weight and body as a child and making what she described as unforgivable comments about members of her family
Despite those feelings, Baldwin said she felt sympathy for Hilton’s three children
“But his children deserve better and a healthy father and I am so sad for all of them,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “I hope he gets the help he needs and heals.”
The comments come after Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, was hospitalized following a disturbing livestream from his Miami home. Authorities confirmed that deputies responded after receiving multiple calls about a person livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media. He was ultimately transported to a hospital for medical attention
Hilton’s family later confirmed that he was receiving medical care and said he was able to communicate, while asking the public to respect their privacy

The hospitalization also comes months after Hilton opened up about a series of serious health problems and publicly reflected on his past as a celebrity gossip blogger. Earlier this year, he expressed regret over some of his behavior and acknowledged that he had prioritized attention and money over the people he covered
For Baldwin, however, those past actions remain significant
Her comments offer a reminder of just how personal Hilton’s brand of celebrity gossip could become, particularly for stars who were targeted while they were young
Still, rather than simply celebrating his struggles, Ireland chose to acknowledge the people who could be most affected by what happens next: his children
