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.

      Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.

      That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
