Former Bachelor contestant Gia Allemand was hospitalized on Monday in New Orleans for a “serious medical event.”

The 28-year-old model, who appeared on season 14 of the reality dating show with Jake Pavelka in 2010, was taken to University Hospital and is in critical condition, her publicist said in a statement.

“Ms. Allemand’s mother is with her, along with her long-term boyfriend, NBA basketball player Ryan Anderson of the New Orleans Pelicans,” the statement continued. “On behalf of the family, we kindly ask for privacy at this time.”
