Brooke Shields had a seizure from water

Brooke Shields had a frightening experience in September when she was rushed to the hospital after suffering a grand mal seizure in New York City, only a week prior to the opening of her one-woman show. According to a recent interview with Glamour, she said over-indulging in water was the cause.

“I was preparing for the show, and I was drinking so much water, and I didn't know I was low in sodium," she told the magazine's writer. "I was waiting for an Uber. I get down to the bottom of the steps, and I start evidently looking weird, and [the people I was with] were like, ‘Are you OK?’” From there, Shields said "everything went black," she fell headfirst into a wall and started frothing at the mouth.
