As you may already know, Al Roker has been very sick. He’s been battling blood clot issues for a while now. But he was released from the hospital just before Thanksgiving, and things were looking up. But the good times didn’t last long. On Black Friday, Al’s wife had to dial 911, and have an ambulance come get her husband. And as if that was not bad enough, things took an even crazier turn, when she went to get into her Tesla, to follow the ambulance to the hospital, and she couldn’t open the door.
It malfunctioned, and she was locked out.
Understandably, she lost her cool and was smashing at the window, but it wouldn’t break. She ended up taking a taxi to the hospital.
Good lord, what a mess.
Page Six reported that Al Roker was rushed back to the hospital via ambulance the day after Thanksgiving amid his ongoing health scare due to blood clots.
The beloved “Today” anchor fell ill on Friday — just a day after he missed hosting the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time in 27 years due to having just been released from the hospital.
The popular weatherman, 68, was taken away by ambulance as his frantic wife, Deborah Roberts, attempted to break into their malfunctioned Tesla to retrieve her mobile phone to follow her husband to the uptown Manhattan hospital, sources say.
ABC News journalist Roberts, 62, tried to smash her way through a reinforced glass window on the front side of the car with the help of a neighbor outside their Upper East Side home, say witnesses.
One witness told Page Six, “Al was taken from his home in a stretcher back to the hospital on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. His condition was worrying, but once back in the hospital, he improved.
“His wife, Deborah, was understandably very upset. She had left her phone and other possessions inside their Tesla, which had malfunctioned and wouldn’t unlock, so she was trying to smash in a window.”
The onlooker said Roberts’ attempt to retrieve her belongings from inside the electric vehicle was “unsuccessful.”
“Deborah then went to the hospital by taxi with her daughter, where Al has since been surrounded by his family.”
Roker will also miss Wednesday’s Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting, it was announced today.
Roker and Roberts — who have been married since 1995 — share daughter Leila, 24, and son Nicholas, 20. The meteorologist also has daughter Courtney, 35, with ex-wife Alice Bell.
Page Six reported earlier this month that Roker was hospitalized due to blood clots in his leg and lungs. The condition may be fatal if not discovered and treated early enough.
Well, let’s hope Al recovers quickly and that the Roker’s get that Tesla fixed.
