HEATHER McDonald reportedly fractured her SKULL after fainting on stage at her comedy show while on the same day her frenemy Chelsea Handler was hospitalized.
Heather, 51, allegedly “lost consciousness” and fainted due to “dehydration,” according to her management.
Reps for the Leprechaun Returns star released a statement to Arizona’s 12 News, which read: “She was tested and does not have COVID.”
The Chelsea Lately comedian is expected to be “released later today.”
Heather’s management also claimed she did not have any alcohol in her system before or during the show.
She was reportedly hospitalized with a skull fracture after she had lost consciousness.
While headlining a show in Tempe, the Juicy Scoop podcaster delivered the second joke from her set before suddenly collapsing.
According to TMZ, eyewitnesses claimed that the White Chicks actress allegedly hit her head on the floor.
An EMT nurse, who was among the audience, rushed up to the stage and provided first aid.
An ambulance had been called and paramedics tended to the standup comic.
Heather then took to Instagram and gave an update on her health status.
She said: “I’m so, so sorry. I passed out on stage. I did one joke and felt so dizzy.
“You can see my eye… when I fell. Oh my God, I feel so terrible. I will be back. I’ve never, ever fainted in my life.”
CHELSEA’S HOSPITAL VISIT
Recently, Chelsea, 46, spoke to her Instagram followers from her hospital bed.
The former Chelsea Lately star apologized: “I’m so sorry that I had to cancel my shows tonight in Portland and my show in Eugene.”
Though she did not explain what possibly caused the “scare at the hospital,” the E! star confessed: “I don’t have COVID. I’m okay.”
She appeared to be disappointed about having to “reschedule the shows. I just wanted to say that.
“I will see you all when I see you. And I’m sorry that I had to cancel.”
Chelsea concluded: “I’m not pregnant.”
Chelsea’s show in Eugene, Oregon has been pushed to March 4th as her two Portland shows have been rescheduled for March 5th.
A formal statement was also released on Chelsea’s Instagram.
“Chelsea is deeply saddened to have to cancel at the last minute and looks forward to giving you a spectacular show in the near future.”
It is unclear how the rest of the Vaccinated and Horny tour will proceed.
The Chelsea star has been dating her boyfriend Jo Koy, 50 – who used to be a regular on her E! show – since August 2021.
THE FEUD
Back in December 2020, Heather slammed her old E! boss on her Juicy Scoop podcast.
She mocked Chelsea’s Instagram post where she jogged in slow motion while wearing Kim Kardashian’s new shapewear line.
Heather said: “So maybe the world is better. It’s like ‘oh really now you’re wearing the Skims and running on the beach and tagging her?”
The comic pointed out: “It’s a very mutual Instagram loving relationship, which seems not completely authentic but to each his own, make a lot of money, get those followers – go for it.”
Heather concluded: “Somehow, I managed to keep surviving. I think she’s a good person.
“I don’t agree with how she treats relationships in her life. She makes you feel so special until you’re not.”
