Director John Singleton’s daughter says her father is “not in a coma” and claims Singleton’s mother, Shelia Ward, is “misrepresenting” his condition, according to a new court filing.

Ward is seeking temporary conservatorship, claiming Singleton is in a coma after suffering what was characterized in court documents filed Thursday as “a major stroke” more than a week ago.
