During an appearance on “Live with Kelly and Mark” on Monday, “America’s Got Talent” judge Howie Mandel shared a chilling account of discovering his wife, Terry, in a pool of blood following a drunken accident during a recent trip to Las Vegas. The couple, who have been married for over 40 years, had been partying in Sin City when the incident occurred.
Mandel, 68, explained that Terry had become tipsy during their night out, and in the middle of the night, she attempted to get up but ended up colliding with a wall. “She fell and hit the wainscoting. She hit that as she went down. She slipped, went down, hit that on her eye, then fell on the floor, and broke her cheek,” he recounted.
The horror escalated when Mandel turned on the light to find his wife face down in a corner, with blood pooling around her. “I freaked out. I picked her up, I put her on the bed. There’s blood everywhere]. I went and grabbed all the towels, and all the towels are covered with blood,” he shared, visibly shaken by the memory.
In an attempt to provide relief, Mandel grabbed a nearby can of soda and placed it on Terry’s head. However, moments later, she threw it across the room, revealing the extent of her injuries. “When she did that, I saw her head, and you could actually see her skull. It opened up,” he said, his voice trembling.
The comedian immediately rushed his wife to the hospital, where she received treatment for her severe bruising and lacerations to her forehead and left eye. Fortunately, Terry, also 68, has since made a full recovery, emerging from the ordeal without any lasting scars.
“She is absolutely perfect,” Mandel said, relief evident in his voice. “There is not a scar. She is beautiful.”
The harrowing incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers associated with excessive drinking and the importance of prioritizing safety, even during celebratory occasions. Mandel’s openness in sharing this deeply personal story highlights the love and concern he has for his wife, as well as the resilience of their long-standing relationship in the face of adversity.
