What happened
During a local televised forum on Oct. 9, West delivered a rambling monologue that drew widespread criticism and was later labeled a “train‑wreck” interview. Host Piers Morgan pressed her about her sobriety, and West eventually admitted to having “a couple” and then clarified it was three beers.
What was said
West told Morgan, “I was nervous! I was going into a room full of Republicans,” and later repeated, “Alright, three. Three beers. What do you want me to say, man? I had three beers.” She added she was “not that intoxicated” and still knew “what I’m talking about when it comes to Indiana politics.”
