Marie Osmond Faints on Dancing with the Stars
Marie Osmond fainted onstage during ABC's live broadcast
Monday of "Dancing with the Stars" but quickly recovered. Osmond
and her partner, dancer Jonathan Roberts, the first performers
of the evening, had just finished a samba and were listening to
comments from the show's judges when she suddenly toppled.
"She was laughing and then sank like a stone. ... Everyone
froze," said ABC publicist Amy Astley. As the show cut to a
commercial, Osmond started to rise and was helped by others,
Astley said.
When the show resumed after the break, host Tom Bergeron told
the studio audience and TV viewers that Osmond had fainted but
was fine.
"I want to just quote her exactly. ... The first words out of
her mouth when she saw us all leaning over her were, 'Oh,
crap,'" Bergeron said. A backstage camera showed Osmond smiling
and nodding.
