ANGELES – A TV reporter who lapsed into gibberish during a live shot outside the Grammys suffered a migraine, her doctors said Thursday.
KCBS-TV reporter Serene Branson was doing a stand-up Sunday outside the Staples Center where the award show was held when her speech became incoherent. The station quickly cut away, and she was examined by paramedics and recovered at home.
Branson's incoherence fueled Internet speculation that she suffered an on-air stroke. But doctors at the University of California, Los Angeles where she went to get a brain scan and blood work done ruled it out.
Doctors said the kind of migraine Branson suffered can mimic symptoms of a stroke.
"A migraine is not just a headache. It's a complicated brain event," said UCLA neurologist
Dr. Andrew Charles, who examined Branson.
