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 Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

      By strato · Posted

      He has made some good throws yes. His arm isn’t great by any professional measure though It might be decent enough, but the poor footwork inhibits it.  So he has to really focus on that and from what I’ve seen he is not consistent.    peace.

      Bryce laughing (from game day thread)

      If only Bryce were 8'1" then CJ wouldn't have needed Woody Marks to carry him against the Titans nor the defense to carry him with 3 picks vs. Cooper Rush. If he were a real QB, he'd have thrown for over 250yds and the Texans wouldn't be 2-3. /s See? I can do the same dumb, lame poo that y'all do. Doesn't this make the board a better experience overall? 🙂

      Chances against the Cowboys

      Their defense is on track to be worse than ours last year. Their run D is in the bottom half but their pass D is horrible.    32nd overall D, 32nd passD, 23rd rush D We are going to have to throw the ball against them, which means down field where they are vulnerable. Problem is Turnover Fred struggles to push the ball down the field and we have the 26th ranked pass offense. Running will help but will have to beat them through the air. On the flip side, Dallas’ offense is awesome.    1st overall, 3rd pass, 8th run.    But Evero’s defense is ranked 12th right now with the pass D around 10th and rush D around 14th.    If we can take care of the football (looking at Bryce) and we make plays down the field (also looking at Bryce) we can win, yes.
