As OK! shared, the 55-year-old's address went viral because she had to encourage the audience to cheer for her.

"I’m here to tell you don’t lose hope. On a personal note, I can tell you that I am as hopeful as ever. Because Americans from all walks of life have had enough of the Democrats’ decline," she told the crowd. "And we are ready, we are willing, and we are able to spark a new era of American exceptionalism."

Though she took a pause to hear their reaction, she was met with silence, prompting her to declare, "You can clap for that."

Social media was stunned by the incident, with one person tweeting in reaction, "Clapping for herself, so sad."

"This woman is in a very, very bad way. To be clear, I don’t personally care about her at all, but even still, some part of me wants someone to help her. This is a flashing warning light. She’s not ok. At all," said a second individual, while another called her speech "embarrassing and humiliating."

The duo hasn't appeared in the same social media upload since Gavin Newsom's ex-wife shared a photo of them together on August 10. However, the two still follow each other on Instagram and Guilfoyle has tagged the former first son in recent cooking videos.

The pair faced breakup rumors in July, but on that occasion, pal Rob Thompson debunked the gossip and insisted the couple was "very happy" together.
