I think you're jumping to conclusions. More likely people thought it was part of an act. Here's a comment from that page to support my conjecture:

I was there. Regarding the point of nobody helping him at first, it wasn't immediately clear that it wasn't part of the act.

And here's another one:

The reason as to why nobody went up to help him the first time is because everyone thought it was part of his act. Nobody had any idea that he had fainted. Everyone was just dumbfounded by what had happened and thought it was an odd twist to his show.

The second time around, when people did realize what was going on, those who planned the event rushed to the stage to help him. Food was brought backstage and his manager, agent, and local emergency medical services were immediately contacted.

This nonsense about nobody doing anything is absurd. And the commentary by others on social networking sites accusing staff and event planners of not acting is absolutely baseless. Staff were backstage to monitor and assist in his recuperation from the second he stepped behind the curtains.

Just clarifying.
