A Los Angeles reporter suffered a possible stroke during a live broadcast following the Grammys Sunday night.

Serene Branson was outside the Staples Center for CBS 2 News in Los Angeles and was set to share the "highlights and backstage coverage" from the music awards show when things went wrong.

The journalist's speech slurred almost immediately and became incomprehensible.

She struggled to speak for nearly 10 seconds, clearly aware she is having problems, before the video cut away to pre-recorded Grammy coverage.

"Sending my best to Serene Branson that she's ok," wrote Kim Baldonado, an NBC 4 News reporter in Los Angeles, via Twitter. "It doesn't sound like it's anything to laugh about."

Despite a report from London's Daily Telegraph that she was hospitalized, Branson may have merely been checked by EMT personnel and sent home with a friend, according to Kristin Cruz, co-host of the Mark & Kristin Show on KOST 103.5 in Los Angeles.

Change the thread title. It's not certain that she had a stroke. That's just a rumor that's been been blasted through the Twitterverse.

The problem with Twitter and news via social media is it's like a bad game of telephone.

Daily Telegraph: "Not sure why this happened. She may have had a stoke."

"Reporter may have had a stroke."

"Reporter likely a stroke"

"Reporter had a stroke at the Grammy's"

Dpantherman: "Video of a reporter having a stroke live on air!!! OMFG!!! That's so sad!"

"possible stroke" my bad.

btw, u mad?

Yeah, as a Journalism major, bad reporting really pisses me off. Not mad at you, but rather the morons who take speculation, and run with it like it's the truth, and clog up Google news with their misinformed idiotic blog entries, quoting a source who quoted a source, who misinterpreted the Telegraph.

It's really frustrating.

      Who do you despise more… LaMelo Ball or Bryce Young

      Names I'd keep an eye on... Coby White,  Jalen Suggs, Amen Thompson  and Stephen Castle...  3 teams except Orlando has checked on Melo before and rumblings of sours getting rid of fox too. I'd think they think Melo and Wemby would make them nuclear out west.

      Well he somehow had 12 preseason carries for not playing. He also has 20 carries in the regular season, not three. He has actually played in about 7% of the offensive snaps for this regular season(33% of the special teams snaps). This isn't stuff you have to make up, these are very easily referenced statistics, man.

      It's not common for a RB to recover from two ACL tears in the same knee. It's fairly rare. You are correct that it isn't the career ender that it used to be but there is also the fact that we appear to have largely moved on with the additions of Dowdle and Etienne.  Dobbins is a very good example. He has basically missed 54% of his career regular season games since he came into the league in 2020. It will end up being 57% at the conclusion of this season. It's a big contributing factor to why he is on this third NFL team in 6 years. It's certainly possible that may be 4 by the beginning of next season. I would say there is very little chance that Brooks ever contributes in any meaningful way in Carolina. Possibly with another team but I am extremely skeptical of his future here because of those injuries and because of the roster.
