Dr. Adams' GF Gets Restraining Order

TMZ has obtained documents filed by Dr. Jan Adams' ex-girlfriend, claiming alcohol brings out his "Jekyll and Hyde" personality.

The papers, filed in L.A. County Superior Court in 2002 by Deborah Pratt, seek a restraining order, claiming, "Defendant has an unfortunate drinking problem and unless restrained immediately, will assert the worst side of his 'Jekyll and Hyde' personality when he is intoxicated."

She goes on, "Defendant is very attached to my children and he has been abusive when intoxicated in their presence, so he must stay away from them, also.'

She claims that on occasion he burst into her home, threatened and chased her in his car. Dr. Adams filed papers denying the allegations. The judge granted the restraining order.

31. Kathy King are you trying to get your 15 minutes of fame too? Who cares that you dated this man back in the 80's?

32. Wow... In our own backyard we have people that are so ignorant, selfish, and cold hearted. We all have went against the grain when told not to do something. But is that grounds for negativity. Someone has lost a mother,daughter,sister, and a friend. Please keep that in mind. Everyone makes mistake but know that we all problems and we all have to die someday. Out of respect for the West family please stay positive. We never know when it will be our day and how we will leave this place. Your negative thoughts should be kpet to yourself.

33. Dr. Jan Adams is a nice person at heart and in mind, I once had a consultation with Dr Adams and he was very professional, He talked to me as if he cared and he did not smell of liquor, nor did he seem to be withdrawn, I feel for Ms West i really do but, She knew what her options where and maybe she had a condition that could not be detected by the test that is needed for her surger. It was just her time, and the lord wanted his angel to come home, now she can watch her son and protect him from above.

34. I tip my hat to you, Mr. Levin, and your staff for scooping the L.A. Times on this one. This Dr. Adams is/was an apparent alcoholic with a messy private life. And darn, Oprah, you've done it again. You promoted the lying author of "A Million Little Pieces", Seinfeld's dishonorable wife's purportedly pilfered cookbook (and made this otherwise unremarkable housewife a bestselling author) ...and now Dr. Adams. Harpo Productions will soon need a vetting bureau. Thanks, TMZ. When you're good, you're really good.

37. To 14,16, and 17.... TMZ took down some of the racist remarks that caused my reply. Evidently you were not able to read it. So my reply still stands for the simple fact that such a person to type such a thing must be such person. May you rest in peace Dr. West

38. And on the contrary Mr. RedBear, I have been taught quite well. I have been taught to assess people by the way they live and treat people, not by their race. I have been taught by life that in most situations I am forced to clarify my integrity by other races due to thier preconcieved notions that they have most likely picked up from televison or other ignorant people. That is all I will say about that matter as I had every right to reply in such a way to such an ignorant remark. The fact of the matter is, is there may or may not be a Dr. out here who is practicing in such a negligent manner and I hope there will be a thorough investigation before something so unfortunate, especially if at the hands of someone who is licensed, happens again.

39. There is nothing raciest here. A woman went against some very strong advise NOT to have this surgery done , until she went for clearance about another health problem that could cause complications. She ignored this and had the surgery done by another dr who had lawsuits against him. So sad that she died, but she knew the risks she was facing. I feel she did this to herself. What differance does it make what color she was ?? She did this to herself out of vanity. She was a very pretty , vibrant and smart woman who went against dr orders. What is raciest about that ??

40. I don't care what color, sex or affiliation this doctor is. The fact that he 'seems' to have a history of sloppy plastic surgery is what bothers me. Yes, I know the allegations have yet to be proven, however, the fact remains that Kanye West mom is dead and Adams did the surgery on her. It is NOT uncommon for others to 'come out' and reveal their horror stories after an incident like this. Look at all the children who hid in the shadows around Priest abuse until more and more stories were revealed. My best guess is that this doctor will be punished for his sloppy and careless work.

43. Condolences to the West family. As an educated and conscious family, I think that even Dr. West would urge you not to destroy a man's life, who himself is accomplished, graduated from HARVARD and was able to get into the t.v. industry, another accomplishment. How many of us have accomplished even half of that? Unfortunately, these types of things do happen sometimes and in fact are EXPECTED to happen. That is why ALL doctors are required to get malpractice insurance...even yours! Have you compared how many success stories Dr. Jan has? Do you think he said "Let me go kill so and so?" In your persecution don't forget the liquor in George Bush's closet!

44. Yes kkh or Kathy King..whatever you go by....

Who cares that you dated this man back when? He probably doesn't even remember your ARSE....LOL. I guess well see you on the gossip circuits next. You'll be out there saying...'I dated him back in the 80's and blah...blah'. Just seeking your 15 minutes. I bet you have been waiting so long to have anyone hear that you dated this man back in the 80's.....LOL. Shut up!

45. Dr. Adams Is a Great Doctor.
He has operated on 4 other people I know.
And They all were Very Satisfied with all there procedures. And everything went great.
I feel for Donda West Family. But we have to remember NO matter what kind of SURGERY we have we are risking our lives . It was her decision to have this procedure done. She knew all the risks.
People need to stop hating on Dr, Adams for just doing his JOB. This could happen to anyone with any doctor. Keep Your Head Up Doctor Adams.
My deepest sympathy Goes out to kanye and his family. You are in my thoghts and prayers.
