Kim Delaney Gives Bizarre Speech And Is Escorted Off Stage

What was she thinking?
Kim Delaney gave an incoherent, rambling and strange speech on Thursday night at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center at the Liberty Medal Award presentation and was eventually escorted off stage because of her bizarre behavior.
The Army Wives actress shocked the audience when she started off her speech saying she “served in an active military duty family for five years,” going on to slur: “I’ve seen soldiers come home with painful life-altering injuries borne of their time and service,” and: “I’ve attended numerous military funerals, including that of my best friend’s son.”
However, the Emmy Award winning actress was far into her speech before she revealed that those “details” were just part of the storyline for her character on the Lifetime show.
“It’s all make believe. I have the luxury to do all of this on a television show.”

According to the local ABC News affiliate, Delaney was escorted off the stage before she finished her speech, with the audience uncomfortably watching.
Delaney has long battled a public fight against addiction; she was arrested for DUI in 2002 and has reportedly been in rehab twice for alcohol problems.

The best part of the video was when she got escorted off. Kim, girl, wake up. Didn't you know you were going on stage? This was such a DIS-Service to our fine military. Bad move.

there have been several videos of her floating around on the internet - this one by far - seems to be the clearest. still she bulloxed this speech. she had no business being up there giving a speech - she is so far removed from these folks.

She had to be escorted off the stage without finishing her speech. Sounds like she fell off the wagon.

Super ignorant that you would use that word!!! Its VERY clear that she is drunk, she has had a problem with alcohol for years. Thats why she was fired from CSI Miami. She got her life back going on Army Wives. TIL NOW!!

Don't think she was under the influence, but she does need a remedial reading course.

OMG...Kim fell off the wagon again. She has a huge problem with alcohol. I remember when she was fired from NYPD Blue for drinking. I wish her well I really do. I like her, always have.
