Cleopatra Singleton, filmmaker John Singleton’s adult daughter, claimed in a court filing Friday that her father is “not in a coma” and that her grandmother, Sheila Ward, is “misrepresenting” his medical condition.

According to court documents obtained by TheWrap, Cleopatra Singleton opposes Ward’s petition to be named conservator of her father and his estate, calling Ward’s behavior toward Singleton and his children “disturbing.” She further said that in a family meeting with doctors two days ago, she was told her father’s condition is “progressing every day” and he could be out of the ICU within five days.

“My father is breathing on his own. He is only medically sedated to keep his blood pressure low and allow the vessels in his brain t0 heal,” Cleopatra Singleton wrote. “My father responds to stimuli and has even smiled on many occasions.”
