Julie Chin, the Oklahoma news anchor who had the beginnings of a stroke during a live TV broadcast, has revealed the alarming and incoherent text she sent her husband after the broadcast.
“I need help. Something is not Run today. My work won’t work is working my help my,” the anchor wrote in a text.
“I never send messages like that, obviously,” Chin said in an interview that aired Wednesday morning on NBC's “TODAY” show. “That just shows my state of mind that morning. I just couldn’t put any words together as hard as I tried.”
Video of Chin's newscast for NBC affiliate KJRH of Tulsa on Saturday has circulated online, showing the moment she stumbled on her words during a live report about an event marking the attempted launch of NASA’s Artemis I rocket.
She said she lost partial vision in her eye, her hand and arm went numb and she struggled to speak.
