Howie Mandel found his wife in pool of blood after drunken accident: ‘It was too much’
Howie Mandel has detailed the horrifying moment he found his wife in a pool of blood following a night of drinking during a recent trip to Las Vegas.
Appearing on “Live with Kelly and Mark” on Monday, the “America’s Got Talent” judge explained that he and his wife of over 40 years, Terry, recently took a trip to Sin City that went horribly awry.
“We partied,” Mandel recalled. “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.”
“And 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.”
Mandel said he heard a loud thump that was followed by yelling.
“I woke up and I went, ‘Where are you?’ And she went ‘I don’t know.’ That’s what she said,” he explained.
In a photo shared by the former “Deal or No Deal” host, Terry’s face suffered severe bruising and lacerations to her forehead and left eye.
Mandel, 68, went on to detail the horror moment he discovered his wife covered in blood.
“I turn on the light, I look, I look around the bed. She’s in the corner, face down, and I didn’t know she’d cut her head. But blood is pooling,” he shared.
“I freaked out. I picked her up, I put her on the bed. There’s blood every[where]. I went and grabbed all the towels, and all the towels are covered with blood. And she’s going ‘Get me ice. Get me ice.’ I don’t know where to get ice.”
Mandel found a nearby can of soda and placed it on Terry’s head. But just moments later, she threw it across the room.
“When she did that, I saw her head, and you could actually see her skull. It opened up,” he said. “I freaked.”
The comic then rushed her to the hospital, where she was treated for her injuries.
Luckily, Terry has now made a full recovery after managing to get out of the ordeal unscathed.
“She is absolutely perfect,” he said. “There is not a scar. She is beautiful.”
