CBS Los Angeles reporter may have had on air stroke during Grammy's

[sufrommich]

After being introduced from the studio, Branson began "Well a very, very...", before mispronouncing "heavily". Trying again, she was still unable to get the word out and continued with a train of unintelligible sounds.

It is feared that she may have suffered a stroke on air. Strokes can cause speech problems in different ways, either by interfering with the brain's ability to recognise and construct words, or by preventing the facial muscles from forming syllables correctly.

Watching the clip is really spooky,I can only imagine what it must feel like from her perspective.

1. Holy shit...that was very weird...

...she's suddenly entirely unintelligible, and seems completely unaware of it.

I hope she is going to be alright.

Hope she's okay--been there, done that, and it was entirely medical.

6. The latest is she was treated by on-the-scene medical personnel,

but was sent home with a friend. So hopefully she is ok.
