The gummies were the problem. Howie Mandel is speaking out to clarify his wife’s recent accident that left her in a pool of blood. “First of all, she wasn’t drunk,” Mandel, 68, told TMZ on Tuesday.
“I’m going to tell you the truth: she took gummies. So it’s not an alcohol problem, she was on pot.” The “America’s Got Talent” judge added that she got out of bed in the middle of the night and “fell,” and it was “really scary.
” He added, “I put her on the bed and tried to give her ice. And I didn’t have ice so I gave her cans of soda to put on her head..
.then she threw them across the room. I didn’t know it was cut so bad, and I wanted it to stop swelling.
” He said that finally he could see the “bone” so he called the front desk and asked him to call 911. When they asked Mandel what happened, he said, “I don’t know, but there’s blood everywhere.” They proceeded to send security up, and he described the scene as “there’s blood everywhere, there’s Coke cans that have been thrown across the room.
They’re taking pictures.” He said because the hotel thought he attacked his wife, “They had me leave the room and asked her what happened. She kept saying, ‘I don’t know.
’ Then she started laughing, because she realized how this was going.” Mandel has been married to his wife, Terry Mandel (nee Soil) for over 40 years, since 1980, and together they have three children. Mandel had initially attributed his wife’s accident.
