Denise Dowse, best known for her roles in Insecure, Beverly Hills, 90210 and Grey’s Anatomy, is currently in a coma after contracting meningitis, her sister Tracey Dowse revealed over the weekend.
“I am requesting support and prayers be offered me and my sister, and my only immediate family Denise Dowse,” Tracey wrote on the actress’ Instagram. “She is currently in the hospital in a coma brought on by a virulent form of meningitis. Her doctors do not know when she will come out of the coma as it was not medically induced.”
Tracey adds that her sister “is a vibrant actor and director that should have many years ahead of her” and that “thoughts, prayers and support are greatly appreciated.”
Most notably, Dowse played Mrs. Yvonne Teasley on Beverly Hills, 90210. Her other roles included playing Judge Rebecca Damsen on CBS’ The Guardian and Dr. Rhonda Pine on HBO’s Insecure. Her numerous TV credits also include Grey’s Anatomy, The Resident, Good Trouble, The X-Files and Criminal Minds.
Dowse made her feature film directorial debut with the upcoming biopic Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story, which follows the legendary gospel singer’s contribution to the Civil Rights Movement, as well as her friendship with Martin Luther King Jr. Keith David. Corbin Bleu and Vanessa Williams are set to star.

Normani claps back at fans who question her “motivation”
Normani is shutting down speculation about her work ethic.
On Tuesday, the singer hopped on Twitter to clap back at a user who claimed that she no longer has “motivation” to make music.
According to Billboard, in a since deleted tweet, one user wrote, “No idea where Normani’s motivation (no pun intended) has gone but I just don’t see the same passion from her as I used to.”
They continued, “Before y’all start, its not depression so don’t even go THERE!”
Another user replied, adding, “What happens when you’ve gotten comfortable and you’re not HUNGRY anymore.”
Normani then entered the conversation, tweeting, “Just shut the f*** up.”
Following the comment, another Twitter user seemed to empathize with the “Wild Side” singer, writing, “It’s so interesting that people that have no clue what it’s like to be in the music industry & the complexities that can come with that, but will dish out unwanted & rude opinions all the time smh.”
The 26-year-old singer seemed to agree with sentiment, responding, “On top of real life s*** going on in my personal life.”
The whole ordeal appears to be over the fact that Normani has yet to share a release date for her debut album. Her debut single, “Motivation,” was released in 2019, followed by 2021’s Cardi B-assisted “Wild Side.” Her latest song, “Fair,” was released in March.

Young Thug hit with new felony charges, including possession of a machine gun
Young Thug has been hit with some new charges from the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office.
According to ABC affiliate WSB, the rapper, whose name is Jeffrey Williams, is facing “a new gang charge, new drug charges, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a machine gun.”
The new indictment, per the outlet, stems from arrests that were made on March 17 and May 9 and involves Young Thug and four other defendants.
On May 10, Williams, 30, was among 28 individuals — including fellow Atlanta rapper Gunna, born Sergio Kitchens — included in a 56-count grand jury indictment. The counts include conspiracy to violate the RICO Act, murder, armed robbery, and participation in criminal street gang activity. A few days later, Young Thug was also charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of firearm during commission of a felony.
At the time of the indictment, Young Thug’s attorney Brian Steel told local WSB, “Mr. Williams committed no crime whatsoever and we will fight to my last drop of blood to clear him.”
