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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
