Howie Mandel Offers Health Update After Wife’s Awful Accident in Vegas
Howie Mandel is updating concerned fans following a fall his wife Terry sustained while in Las Vegas.
While appearing on Live With Kelly and Mark, the 68-year-old recalled the gruesome incident in which he found his wife of 44 years and the mother of his three children bloodied and on the floor of their hotel room during a recent getaway to the resort city.
The America's Got Talent judge said the awful accident happened in the middle of the night, following a night out in Sin City where he admitted the couple "partied."
The voice actor explained the couple enjoyed a meal at Papi's, a renowned steakhouse on the famous Las Vegas Strip, which he later described as one of the "best dinners" the two had. But things took a turn for the worse when they got back to the hotel.
“It was too much. And [Terry] was tipsy. I did not know that, and in the middle of the night, she got up and, I don’t know where she was headed, but she headed into the wall," he told hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos.
Unfortunately for Terry, the wall didn't break her fall–it broke her cheek.
“And she fell and hit the wainscoting. She hit that as she went down," he shared. "She slipped, went down, hit that on her eye, then fell on the floor and broke her cheek.”
The Toronto-born actor and comedian went on, saying that while he was asleep for her slip-and-fall accident, he was awoken by the loud bang of her fall and Terry calling out for help.
Immediately after being injured, the TV personality said his wife didn't know where she was. Thankfully, now, "She is doing well," he said.
The AGT star went on to share a picture of the aftermath and relay a sarcastic comment Terry had been replying with when asked about her injuries.
"[When people asked] 'What happened?' she said, 'Vegas!'"
"She's recovered now," he added. However, it appears Mandel is still a little scarred from the incident as he continued to describe the full detail of her cuts, which were deep enough so that he could "see her skull."
"Nothing bleeds like the head," Ripa replied.
