What Happened to CNN Anchor Erin Burnett’s Eye?

As Erin Burnett appeared on CNN Monday night, one question kept many viewers distracted from the news. What happened to her eye? Her right eye looked swollen during the broadcast. She tried to mask the problem by looking down and turning to an extreme profile where viewers could barely see that side of her face. Despite those efforts, people noticed. “Can't someone step in for you so you can heal?” asked one concerned viewer. #InsideEdition

I hate the fact she felt the need to apologise sad, we the people totally understand.

[ineverletup]

She didn’t need to apologize. She just needed to let everyone know she wasn’t hit 😂

[RKWWWW]

My eye does that when it's time to shed the scales on my lizard eyes. Perfectly understandable.

[neldanarcisse]

aww you didn't have to apologize, but I'll gratefully accept it😊

[leonahthelioness]

Never had a cold so bad that an eye swelled shut. Never known anyone who did either. She still shouldn't have to apologize though. I just think it's a strange explanation. Hope she's ok now.

I typed in reptilian shapeshifter and this is recommended.

It’s reptile eye it’s like a twitch freeze

[MsTinkerbelle]

I would have thought she was having a stroke...

[PrincessCashmonie]

A bad cold. Sure, lady. We believe you. 🙄

[sheilaedie]

We all know she’s a lizard! Nice try!

[CrnagOwnz]

This is literally what happened to Katy Perry.

[Paarthurnaxdova]

Having a cold does not affect your eye like that!

[vanessal]

Sad people really think this is a cold.

[tooquick]

How don’t people see what is really going on here

[dipsydoodle]

No bigs… she just having a Katy Perry moment.

[orionsghost]

If she had a bad cold, one that was supposedly causing her eye to close up, why were her guests sitting just a couple of feet from her?

[shilohmjh]

She didn’t need to apologize. Props to her for pushing through when she obviously didn’t feel well.

[warriorfor]

I've never heard of anyone having that happen with symptoms from a cold?

[CurlyCruz]

Who the hell gets eye swollen from a cold!?
No, there is something else she not telling us!

[AngelieWhite]

Shapeshifting…that’s what happened to reptilian pretending to be a human.
