July 20, (THEWILL) – The Guinness World Record has distanced itself from a Cameroonian, Tembu Ebere, who attempted to break the Cry-a-thon record after he revealed that he was blind for hours.
Ebere attempted to break the Guinness World Record for crying for seven days, non-stop.
Speaking in an interview aired on BBC on Sunday, Ebere disclosed that during the challenge, he temporarily lost his vision for 45 minutes.
He explained that he had to reevaluate his approach and reduce the intensity of his wailing as it was causing him headaches.
However, the Guinness World Record, on Wednesday, dissociated itself from Ebere’s feat. It noted that such a quest was not approved, adding that they would never be able to monitor such a record.
“Just to quell some recent rumours, we wouldn’t ever monitor a record for the longest marathon crying,” the body wrote.
