The Voice contestant’s brutal live TV accident
‘We’ve never had anything like that happen”: A nasty accident during the most recent episode of The Voice horrified the show’s host.
A contestant on the US version of The Voice took a scary tumble on stage during the show’s most recent live results show.
Fortunately, she was able to quickly assure fans that she’s OK.
Wendy Moten was the subject of a lot of online chatter on social media after she was seen to hit the ground quite hard at the conclusion of her team’s performance of The Four Tops’ Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch) with coach Blake Shelton.
Moten, 57, wrapped up the song with her coach and fellow Team Blake members Lana Scott and Paris Winningham when viewers couldn’t help but notice that she turned to walk off the stage and tripped over a nearby piece of stage equipment, slamming to the ground. The camera cut to host Carson Daly, but he had his back to the camera as he looked to see if Moten was seriously hurt. Shortly after, the show quickly cut to commercial while she was assisted off stage.
“Unfortunate moment for Wendy Moten, who is walking off and we hope she’s OK,” he said before the break.
Moten was helped up and taken off stage by both the crew and her coach. Shelton had his back to Moten while walking back to his coach’s chair when the fall took place, but Yahoo Entertainment noted he quickly rushed back to the stage to help her up once he realised what was going on.
Moten even appeared alongside Daly, 48, when the show returned from its commercial break to assure viewers that the fall looked and sounded a lot worse than it was.
“I’m OK!” she said. “I’m a little bruised, but you know what? I’m still ready to go!”
“You scared us with that mishap onstage!” Daly said as she returned. “We’ve never had anything like that happen.”
So, regardless of how she performs in the remaining rounds, Moten has solidified her place in The Voice history.
