Zsa Zsa Gabor Slips Into A Coma, Daughter Denied Visit

Former Hungarian-American screen siren Zsa Zsa Gabor has reportedly slipped into a coma since early Wednesday morning. According to Zsa Zsa’s husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt, Zsa Zsa has been unresponsive since 2am Wednesday morning.

The 94-year old actress was rushed back to the hospital less than a day after being released on Monday after receiving treatment for Pneumonia. Zsa Zsa’s spokesperson told CNN that Gabor was taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon because the feeding tube in her stomach was “bleeding…like a fountain.”

Frederic added that his wife was not responding and she’s suffering from a stomach infection.

Zsa Zsa’s daughter Constance Francesca Hilton has fought with Frederic von Anhalt over her mother’s estate and medical care. According to Popeater, Constance alleges that she’s tried to see her mother for two months but was denied permission. Zsa Zsa’s rep contest the claim stating, “She can go on Sundays when the doctor is there so there is no funny business.”

Frederic was appointed executor of Gabor’s will and her legal guardian since 2005 by Gabor herself. Costance continues to blame Frederic for her mothers incessant and sometimes bizarre coverage in the news. Constance believe Frederic is exploiting Zsa Zsa’s status for his own gain.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
