Former White House official and political commentator Camryn Kinsey said she will be returning to Fox News this week after collapsing live on air during an appearance on the network on Thursday night.
“You think about it, you’re like, ‘Do I wanna go back on TV?’” Kinsey said to the New York Post.
“But knowing that I have so many people in my corner, who are genuinely concerned for my well-being and want to see me keep going…that’s anything that I could ever want.”
Newsweek has contacted Kinsey for comment via messages on social media.
The Context
Kinsey had been on Fox News @ Night to comment on former President Joe Biden‘s recent media appearances.
“So this is about incompetency, it’s not about uh, uh, ideology or uh, it’s not about,” she said, before falling from her seat.
“We’re just going to get some help her for Camryn,” Jonathan Hunt, the show’s host, said before trying to hand the show to another presenter.
What To Know
Kinsey told the Post that she had never fainted before and the episode was likely due to “severe dehydration.”
She said her shoulder broke her fall so “there’s no concussion or bruising.”
Kinsey was the external relations director at the presidential personnel office from August 2020 until President Donald Trump‘s first term ended in January 2021, according to her LinkedIn account.
“Only in Trump’s America could I go from working in a gym to working in the White House, because that’s the American dream,” she said in an interview with The Conservateur website. “President Trump takes chances on hiring young people to deliver innovative ideas and policy prescriptions.”
She later worked at the conservative One America News Network before setting up her own public relations company last year.
What People Are Saying
Camryn Kinsey thanked the Fox News team and EMTs for responding quickly in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday morning, writing: “It was an unexpected and frightening moment, but thanks to their professionalism and kindness, I’m doing well.”
She added: “I’m taking it slow, staying hydrated, letting my body rest, and thanking the Lord that everything is okay. It may not have been how I planned to end the segment, but I’ll be back on your TV soon. Hopefully long enough to finally finish my point about Kamala!”
Fox News said in a statement provided to Newsweek on Thursday: “After Fox News @ Night guest Camryn Kinsey fainted during a live on-air appearance last night in our Los Angeles bureau, paramedics were called and she was treated and cleared. We are happy to hear she is now feeling much better and wish her a speedy recovery.”
What’s Next
Kinsey said she is set to return to Fox News @ Night next week.
