After CBS correspondent Serene Branson’s frightening on-air lapse into slurred and incomprehensible speech during a post-Grammy newscast Sunday night, neurologists offered an array of potential diagnoses. Was it a stroke? An epileptic seizure? Or the isolated “mini-stroke” episode known as a transient ischemic attack? None of the above. It turns out that Branson suffered a “migraine aura”–a speech and sensory-impairing side effect of certain severe headaches–according to Dr. Andrew Charles, director of UCLA’s Headache Research and Treatment Program, who treated the Emmy-nominated entertainment reporter following the unfortunate episode.

WTF! The dozy mare! What a f-ing world when a ‘tard like this miffs her lines and makes a major screw-up. If she was feeling that bad, why the hell did she go on? And now everyone is sympathising with her… for being a tool… ‘I was scared and confused’ Oh you poor dear, man up Missy…Geez!
@GlobalGrandMaster You’re a jackass. She’s leading the 11:00 news on the CBS Los Angeles affiliate. vs. all the other L.A. stations. She can’t just say, “oh sorry, I’m not feeling well, I think I’ll just skip this report. No way. She would be fired. She had no idea she’d start speaking in tongue until after it came out of her mouth, so how could she have known in advance? Huh? She’s been on KCBS/KCAL for 4 years now, that wasn’t her first trip to the rodeo moron.
I’m sure when she dyes her hair brown she will be better. Otherwise total fail lol
About 2 or 3 years ago I had a migraine at my girlfriend’s house. My left hand went numb and vision went blurry, exactly what happens with all migraines I’ve had, but when I tried speaking at a normal speed my words came out mixed up mumbled. when i slowed my speech dramatically the words formed but it took alot of concentration and patience. poor girl to have this happen to her in front of millions..
BULLSHIT!
@J0NNYBOY My brother just had a “mini-stroke/severe migrane” at 29, he’s now in a hospital for several weeks for migrane research now.. Are you gettin that crap worked out bro?
I have these migraines. They are TMJ related from an old jaw injury. When I have these spells, my words sound exactly the same. It’s like having dyslexia of the voice. I stumble really bad over words with the same consant sounds in the first and last syllables. It’s truly bizarre. I went to the ER, 7 hour visit, becasue I thought I had a stroke.
Why is it sooo hard to believe her? ;(
@GlobalGrandMaster Your a tool.. you have no idea at all!!!!
There is the distinct possibility that she did it on purpose for attention.
I have simliar thing happens to me. My speech starts to slur, my words dont sound right and my memory goes as if i am thicko. Happens every since I had CFS, recovered from CFS after 2.5 years but this brain problem persists.
Its due to Nibiru ..rogue planet coming to our solar system. Google it….its just the beginning folks..people will go crazy and become zombie’s , do not buy into main stream media lies….
you will see this happen more and more….
Another simple test is to stop carrying your mobile on your body (chest or trouser pockets). in many cases people experience the so-called “phantom text messages”. This describes a situation where every now and then you think you had a text message, when keeping the phone in your pockets, but when you checked there was no message. Some even suffer from heart palpitations. If that is case, just try for a while to carry your mobile in a bag or switch it off, while you have it in your pocket.
Even if you are not ES, it is beneficial to turn off your Wifi over night, as well as to ban electrical items, your cordless phones and mobiles from your bedroom. You will sleep much better and are less likely to have an interrupted sleep pattern. Usually waking around 4 am.
Electro-Sensitivity (ES)
Electro-sensitive people suffer from a variety of symptoms in close vicinity to electromagnetic fields, Wi-fi, mobiles, DECT phones, baby monitors, certain light sources etc: Headaches, Speech problems, dizziness, chest palpations, tinnitus, sweating at night. skin irritations, pins and needles in the hands in the mornings, short-term memory loss, nauseas, joint aches and pressures at the back of the head as well as in the sinus or forehead area.
This lady is not human.
The end of this video is really unsatisfying. Migraine aura?
her looks are like she just got RAPED
It’s nice to know that she’s a typically good American girl, therefore her episode couldn’t possibly have been drink & drugs related on such a Hollywood party night !
And it’s very noble of all the YouTube viewers not yet to have passed disparaging comment upon her conspicuous blondeness (so don’t start !).
this also happened to 2 other reporters as well as judge judy.
I’d hit that soooo hard.
After experiencing headache, blurred vision, then spouting off that mouthful of jibberish while having her cheek and hand go numb…..she doesnt go to the hospital??? Im sorry, but Im thinking Barbie may have embelished a bit in order to deflect people having a huge laugh at her expense…I just cant see how someone with all that stuff going on lets some EMT take her pulse, feel her head and decide everythings cool. I mean cmon…
poor girl
@kitrick42 Well put.
@kitrick24 i dont understand entirely what you mean but i get migraine attacks like that (complicated migraine w. aura). I Didnt go to the hospital either the first time i got it. i was unable to call for help and couldnt think straight. i passed out and woke up the next morning feeling fine.
