Lots Of People Think Fox News' Judge Jeanine Pirro Was Drunk On The Air

Judge Jeanine Pirro, the host of Fox News' Justice is no stranger to stirring up controversy. But during Friday's broadcast, many online thought she might've been stirring something else.

Following a 15-minute delay to the broadcast, which Pirro recorded from her home due to social distancing rules, the Judge began her show a little disheveled, as noted by Twitter user @Acyn. Jeanine's noticeable "I can't" before returning from commercial notwithstanding, she soldiered on, slurring and stumbling her way through a segment on restarting the economy. Though, many viewers thought that doing so in her condition was ill-advised.

In a statement, Fox News blamed the issues on the "loss of a teleprompter." Press "F" to pay respects to the teleprompter. They wrote:

Jeanine Pirro was broadcasting from her home for the first time when she encountered several technical difficulties which impacted the quality of her show, including the loss of a teleprompter. As we have previously said, we are operating with a reduced staff working remotely to ensure the health and safety of our employees in these unprecedented times.

After the clips went viral, people began jumping to offer something of an early hangover for the controversial TV host. Even her former Fox News co-worker Gretchen Carlson got in the mix.

Will another one bite the dust? Let’s just say she’s not one to support other women https://t.co/IVavnGQsDm
