Michael frames his comments as pity rather than hate, positioning himself as the moral high ground against Perez's alleged history of cruelty.
The timing is brutal: Michael chose a podcast appearance to dunk on a man recovering from a suicide attempt and overdose, citing karma.
Michael appeared on the 'Light. Tan. Up.' podcast on Nov 1, 2026. He called the GoFundMe for Perez's mother, Teresita Lavandeira, 'pathetic' and 'beyond disgusting.'
Michael Lohan is serving cold takes while Perez Hilton is still in recovery. The feud continues, and Michael has no chill.
Michael Lohan has officially declared war on Perez Hilton’s recovery narrative, and he is not pulling punches. Speaking on the "Light. Tan. Up." podcast on November 1, 2026, Lindsay Lohan’s father unleashed a scathing critique of the blogger, who was recently hospitalized following a suicide attempt. Michael’s verdict? He has one word for Perez: "Karma." He elaborated with a chilling sentiment, noting, "How's that? What goes around, comes around," suggesting that Perez’s current struggles are a direct result of his past behavior toward others. The core of Michael’s anger stems from a GoFundMe campaign launched by Perez’s friend Tom D’Angora. The fundraiser lists Perez’s mother, Teresita Lavandeira, as the recipient, with the stated goal of helping her cover the additional costs of raising Perez’s three children. Michael didn’t buy the charitable framing. He labeled the initiative "pathetic," arguing that it was less about family support and more about leveraging a crisis for cash. "To use something like that, for financial gain, is beyond disgusting," Michael stated, making his disdain for the campaign clear. Despite the vitriol, Michael attempted to soften the blow by claiming his motivation isn't pure hatred. "And I don't dislike him, I pity him," he said, positioning himself as a benevolent critic rather than a bitter enemy. However, the context of his comments cannot be ignored. Perez was hospitalized in August with broken bones and treated for an overdose, subsequently placed on a psychiatric hold. By September, he was able to have supervised visits with his children at his residential treatment facility. Michael’s decision to air these grievances now, while Perez is still navigating the aftermath of a severe mental health crisis, has drawn sharp attention. This isn't the first time the two have clashed. The history between Michael Lohan and Perez Hilton is long and contentious, largely driven by Perez’s coverage of the Lohan family over the years. Michael’s recent rant feels like a culmination of that friction, reignited by the publicity surrounding Perez’s hospitalization. TMZ reached out to Perez’s team for comment regarding Michael’s accusations, but as of this writing, there has been no response. The silence from Perez’s camp leaves the public to decide whether Michael is a concerned citizen calling out exploitation, or a former adversary piling on while the other is down.
