Ivana Drunk

Ivana Trump was escorted out of Barbara Davis’s Carousel of Hope ball in Beverly Hills Saturday night for being "severely intoxicated," according to two well-placed sources. Later, back at her hotel, Trump lapsed into a "comatose" state, frightening a friend into calling paramedics.

The episode came as no great surprise to pals of the former model, who sought treatment for her drinking earlier this year, friends say. In August, Page Six reported that an out-of-control Trump was thrown out of Monte Carlo nightclub Jimmy’s following a noisy row with her boyfriend, Rossano Rubicondi. More recently, she has taken to calling friends late at night and leaving rambling, incoherent voice-mails.

Donald Trump might be expected to take an interest in seeing his ex-wife overcome her issues: The Apprentice star is a teetotaler whose brother Fred died from alcoholism. But when mutual friends have suggested an intervention, Donald has demurred, insisting there’s no way to help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.

A spokeswoman for Trump said she was traveling and couldn’t be reached for comment.
