‘Very scary’: News guest speaks out after fainting on-air and being left on the studio floor

Camryn Kinsey went viral for all the wrong reasons last week when she fainted on-air during a Fox News broadcast. The shocking moment came as a huge surprise to most, especially as the show’s host, Jonathan Hunt, seemingly tried to continue the broadcast with his guest led on the floor.

On-air blunders are nothing particularly new, in fact, there are dozens of compilations on TikTok that range from that guy’s kids interrupting his BBC interview to the woman saying her favourite Marvel hero is Superman. They just seem to get better and better, but in this case, people were genuinely concerned for Camryn’s health after she hit the studio floor.

The viral moment came last week when Camryn, a former White House employee who worked for Donald Trump, joined Jonathan Hunt on his show to talk about former President Joe Biden’s incompetence.

“So this is about incompetence, it’s not about ideology or uh, it’s not about uh,” she said moments before slurring her words and falling off the chair.

“It was very scary,” Camryn Kinsey told The New York Post. “I honestly felt worse for the audience and the Fox News crew that was helping me than I than I did myself.”

Camryn said she “did feel it coming on” and theorised that it was due to “severe” dehydration, explaining: “I’m grateful my shoulder actually broke the fall, so there’s no concussion or bruising. It was hard to hear my family so concerned, and I can only imagine what that looks like in real time — for my family and my friends and everyone watching.

“It was very shocking, but on the flip side of it, I’m very blessed that the Lord was watching over me and I have such an incredible support system.”

In the clip, which has since been shared to all four corners of the MAGA-hating internet, Fox News host Jonathan Hunt looked to continue with the broadcast without checking on his guest.

“So we’re just gonna get some help for Camryn…um.. lemme come back to Lydia while we get some help for Camryn here… Um, so.. uh, Lydia.. the…ah President… We’re gonna actually, we’re gonna go to a break right here. We’ll be right back,” he said, with people suggesting that he should have abandoned the broadcast to check on his guest.

In the same interview with the New York Post, Camryn Kinsey responded to Jonathan leaving her on the floor after she fainted.

“Jonathan and I spoke afterwards.He was nothing but kind and gracious to me. I understand in a live TV environment, things move fast,” she explained.

“No one is really ever quite sure of what’s happening in real time, but I want to make it clear I hold no hard feelings whatsoever. In the end, we’re all just human. Things happen and I’m just grateful to be OK.”
