Fox News guest and former Trump administration official Camryn Kinsey will be back on the air at Fox News this week after she fainted during a live segment with Jonathan Hunt.
Kinsey,24, was answering a question from Hunt when she began to stumble over her words, then fell to the floor unconscious.
She later said severe dehydration caused the fainting spell.
“It was very scary,” Kinsey, 24, told the New York Post. “I honestly felt worse for the audience and the Fox News crew that was helping me than I than I did myself.”
Kinsey said she had received well wishes from those on both sides of the political spectrum, which was heartening for her.
In these situations, people “put differences aside just to make sure somebody’s OK, and I’m truly grateful for that,” Kinsey said.
“You think about it, you’re like, ‘Do I wanna go back on TV?’" she said. "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.”
Kinsey was also thankful she wasn't seriously injured by the fall.
“I’m grateful my shoulder actually broke the fall, so there’s no concussion or bruising,” Kinsey said. “It was hard to hear my family so concerned, and I can only imagine what that looks like in real time — for my family and my friends and everyone watching.
“It was very shocking, but on the flip side of it I’m very blessed that the Lord was watching over me and I have such an incredible support system,” Kinsey said.
Kinsey also defended Hunt, who was criticized by some for continuing the segment after she fainted.
“Jonathan and I spoke afterwards,” she explained. “He was nothing but kind and gracious to me. I understand in a live TV environment, things move fast. No one is really ever quite sure of what’s happening in real time, but I want to make it clear I hold no hard feelings whatsoever.
“In the end, we’re all just human. Things happen and I’m just grateful to be OK.”
Hunt said, "We're just going to get some help here for Camryn," then cut away to another personality while medical personnel helped her.
