Army Wives, Kim Delaney Epic Speech Fail – Kicked Off Stage – Was She Drunk?

Posted by September 24th, 2011 | 0 Comments »

Army Wives actress Kim Delaney was escorted off stage at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center Thursday night after delivering an inappropriate and at times incomprehensible speech at the Liberty Medal Award presentation to former defense secretary Robert Gates.

Delaney stumbled to the podium and spoke about having “served in active military duty family for five years.” “I’ve seen soldiers come home with painful life altering injuries borne of their time and service,” she said, slurring at times. “I’ve attended numerous military funerals, including that of my best friend’s son.” The only problem is…..this isn’t true and didn’t tell anyone until nearly two minutes into her speech saying, “It’s all make believe. I do that as a job. It’s make believe,” she continued, “I have the luxury to do all of this on a television show.”

Delaney has had problems with alcohol in the past and even went to rehab back in 2003. I’m not sure the cause of the incoherent speech but something was definitely wrong here.
