According to TMZ, the America's Got Talent judge is a regular customer at the Starbucks in question. Customers who knew him were shocked to see him pass out.
He is said to have been with his wife, Terry Mandel, and some friends when he passed out and was laid down on a bench. He was reportedly able to sit up by the time the Los Angeles Fire Department arrived on the scene but was taken to a medical center as a precaution and to run some tests.
The former Deal or No Deal host has been candid about his Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in the past. He previously told Page Six that he takes medication to manage the condition.
"I’m moving my therapist into a whole new tax bracket on the phone," he joked. "Some people call it a pandemic, I call it 'told ya!'"
