ABCRichard Heene is already sick and tired of accusations that yesterday's balloon drama is being called a hoax. Falcon Heene, the 6-year-old boy behind it, is just sick.
The former Wife Swap family, including mom Mayumi and older brothers Ryo and Bradford, appeared via satellite on the Today show this morning. They're all trying to clear the air following last night's appearance on CNN in which Falcon infamously said the reason he didn't come out from the attic was because "You guys said that we did this for a show."
As dad was explaining that his youngest son didn't fully understand the question, the kid showed his true feelings about the whole thing.
By vomiting.
It took NBC nearly 30 seconds to cut away from the poor kid—feel better, Falcon!—and get back to the matter at hand. By the time he was asked once again if it was all a hoax, dad's stomach was churning, too.
"Absolutely not. And now I'm starting to get a little ticked off because I'm repetitively getting asked this," he demanded. "What have I got to gain out of this? I'm not selling anything, I'm not advertising anything."
