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.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
