Amber Riley of "Glee" gave photographers and her co-stars quite a scare last night when she passed out cold on the red carpet at a TV Academy event honoring her hit series at the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre in Hollywood.
The actress took to Twitter late last night to let fans know she is fine.
"Hey guys, I’m okay :) I got a little dizzy from all the photog flashes! You’d think I’d be used to it by now, still a red carpet amateur I guess. Gonna get checked out but I feel fine. Thank you for all the concern and well wishes," she wrote. "I’d also like to thank the photographers for being so professional and not taking photos of me on the ground. I truly truly appreciate it. Could have been super embarrassing."
Riley's episode was surprising, as the 26-year-old says that she has been on a health kick since the summer. "I decided I was going to make a change and eat healthier," she told People, explaining that she decided to give up fast food and burgers because of chronic stomach pains. "I dropped two dress sizes! I'm a lot more comfortable in dresses, especially gowns."

But I'm sure there's an In Touch article about her SCARY DIET DRAMA already in the works.
This is like that Full House episode where DJ starved herself and passed out on the treadmill.
or when miranda passed out on lizzie mcguire after not eating for like two hours
I am surprised they didn't take photos. Very surprised.
Grrl, mkay with that brush off. Maybe a blind item will be released about an overweight minority actress on a hit show, being pressured to lose weight. Or putting pressure on herself...either way.
