*John Singleton‘s family has an interesting situation going down that was triggered by him supposedly being in a coma due to his stroke.
By supposedly, we mean according to John’s daughter. You see, she says his mother is lying about his condition and he’s NOT in a coma.
Uh oh, this sounds like a family war has commenced.
According to legal documents filed by Cleopatra Singleton, 19, her dad is NOT in a coma and goes on to claim that his condition is actually improving everyday. As TMZ notes, this development is most definitely in stark contrast to the legal docs filed just yesterday by Singleton’s mom, Shelia Ward, who claimed he was in a coma and had suffered a “major stroke.”
Page Six notes that “a form from a doctor at Singleton’s hospital filed with the court by Ward’s lawyer Thursday says John Singleton (51) is incapacitated and can’t make his own decisions, but it doesn’t address whether he’s in a coma.”
Now as far as Sheila Ward is concerned, she wants to establish a conservatorship so she can handle her son’s business dealings while he is incapacitated.
Here’s more via TMZ:
Cleopatra says Shelia is up to no good, claiming she’s abused her position as John’s personal and business manager, especially when it came to supporting his 4 children. Cleopatra, a college sophomore, says in the docs that Shelia has stated her intention to liquidate John’s assets and leave his kids with nothing.
Cleopatra attacks Shelia, saying, “My father’s allowed his mother to stay in that position out of fear and obligation to her as she’s bullied and abandoned my father since he was a small child, leaving him emotionally defenseless.”
John suffered a stroke last week as he was being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. as a patient for a problem with his leg.
Cleopatra says her father is breathing on his own but is in a medically sedated state. She says he responds to stimuli and has even smiled on many occasions. She adds, doctors have told her John could be out of ICU in 5 days.
