Adrianne Curry said she forgives Perez Hilton for years of harassment following the blogger's controversial TikTok livestream earlier this week.
The America's Next Top Model winner took to Instagram to give her thoughts after Perez went live on TikTok earlier this week and showed himself appearing to harm himself with a knife. Miami police were called to his home, and he was taken to a hospital.
He later gave a three-word update to his mother from his hospital bed, and it was later revealed by Perez's family that his children were in the home and fled after the livestream started.

Adrianne posted an Instagram video about the 48-year-old. The winner of the inaugural ANTM season said, "For years [Perez] targeted me and harassed me.
"He drew wieners that were erect all over, near my face, splurging into my mouth and all over my face. He bullied me and got the public to bully me. This was during his peak years."

She emphasized that despite all that, she wants the best for him. "I also want him to see me saying that his life has value and that I wish him peace, and I don’t want anything bad to happen to him," Adrianne continued.
"I think sometimes that’s what it takes – not your friends rallying round you, but people who should hate you saying, 'Hey, your life has value, don't do this,'" she added. "At least that's what it used to be like for me because I've been in some dark places."
In the new clip, speaking to Perez directly, she stated, "I forgive you, I don’t think you should be hurting yourself, and I hope you get f---ing better."

Adrianne added that it would be "really, really easy" to slam Perez at this time, but she was choosing not to.
An insider close to Perez for over 20 years told the Daily Mail, "He's really suffering. He's a man in a lot of pain. I think right now he's focused on the physical, but it's all tied together. No one deserves the torment he's going through. He was able to articulate himself [to his mother in hospital], but I don't think he's quite self-aware enough yet [to understand exactly what happened]."
