An entertainment reporter at the local CBS station in Los Angeles alarmed viewers when she flubbed her words and started speaking gibberish during a live broadcast from the Staples Center after the Grammy awards Sunday night.
KCBS-TV’s Serene Branson was reporting on “highlights and backstage coverage” from the award ceremony when she apparently stumbled on the word "heavy" and devolved into a series of nonsensical words.
Many viewers were concerned that she had possibly suffered a stroke during the live broadcast.
British newspaper The Telegraph reported that Branson had been hospitalized following her broadcast, noting that “strokes can cause speech problems in different ways, either by interfering with the brain's ability to recognize and construct words, or by preventing the facial muscles from forming syllables correctly.”
Branson was examined by paramedics outside Staples Center after she was cut from the airwaves.
Edward Lawrence, a KCBS reporter, was concerned enough to tweet last night that "station is looking into if there was a problem."
Monday morning, KCBS released a statement saying: "Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized. As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home, and she says she is feeling fine this morning."
Story developing... watch the video of her event here.
