Dr. Adams' Ex Wife Claims Brutality

Dr. Jan Adams physically assaulted his ex-wife, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

TMZ has obtained a restraining order filed by Susie Field, former wife of music mogul turned movie producer Ted Field. According to the document, Field claims on Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 2006, Dr. Adams became upset with Susie for taking a phone call during dinner. Susie claims, "He wanted to speak to whomever was calling me."

They began arguing and went up to the bedroom. According to the document, Dr. Adams was yelling, "I'm going to f**king kill you. I'm going to beat you. You need to be beaten." Susie claims Dr. Adams then "swung his right closed fist at my face...he attacked me," adding, [Dr. Adams] grabbed me with one arm and threw me toward the bed. I struck the bed and fell onto the floor."

Susie claims there was another incident as well. In September, 2005, she says they were at a New York nightclub, where he became angry because another man was looking at her. According to the document, when they returned to the hotel, he became "angry, threw me on the bed and began to strangle me. I thought I was going to die as he strangled me to the point of almost blacking out."

The judge granted the restraining order on November 28, 2006. Two days later, Susie filed for divorce. They were married in early 2006 and the divorce was final in February, 2007.

16. Based on all the evidence that TMZ has uncovered -- this guy's life seems to be a big trainwreck, DUIs, abuse, malpractice, etc... Its a very interesting story, but very sad because of all the people this man seems to have hurt. It sure looks like this guy is going down fast and hard. Keep on digging and dishing the dirt on this guy TMZ. The public needs to know the real story about this Doctor.

17. This seems to be a very stupid woman if she was assaulted by Dr. Adams BEFORE they were married and she still went through with the nuptials...did she really think he was going to change after the vows had been exchanged???????

18. White Power, what do you mean "those people?" Two of "your people" just raped a nine-year-old girl in Missouri, strangled her to death and left her body in a cave. One of the perpetuators was her 25-year-old stepfather.

MOVE ON TMZ!!!

23. Isn't it funny how the digging starts and the mud comes out . Dr Adams may have made a mistake but guys putting his life out there is kind of cold blooded. Don't let the facts get in the way of trying to destroy a person before we know anything.

I think #2 was referring to Plastic Surgeons.

25. What do some of you mean by "now everyone jumps on the bandwagon" or "people coming out of the woodwork"? These restraining orders, malpractice suits, DUI charges, etc. are all PRE-EXISTING. All it takes is a little digging by TMZ or other organizations like them.

Also, College Grad - I couldn't agree more. I don't think anyone deserves to be abused but what kind of person not only stays in a relationship but marries someone who beat and strangled them? So many wacky people in this world - how sad!!

26. Debra #21 not to mention that psycho white guy that buried that young girl alive a few years ago. I'm white too...doesn't matter. Evil comes in all colors. Amen to your comment sister.

27. OK, the medical malpractice suits against this guy were pertinent. The rest of these stories about his DUI's, ex-girlfriends and wives are not pertinent. I frankly don't care if this guy is a turd to all the women in his personal life, but do care that he's a quack physician trying to botch up people's bodies.

28. I dont get this..Wouldnt you think that if your about to have MAJOR surgery and the doc before told Dr West to get clearance from her reg MD.. Then she seeks out THIS idiot.. Why didnt she do so background checking on this guy before he operated on her for over 8 hours and SENT HER HOME.. boy something sure seems strange here kids.

Posted at 1:15PM on Nov 14th 2007 by dosnt matter does it?

29. Yeah it's funny how it takes this guy killing someone for the media to quickly find all this stuff out. Did no one do any type of research on this idiot before putting him on TV and letting him do countless surgeries he isn't qualified to do?

It took what 30 minutes to find like at least 10 different shady things he has done. And now it looks like the guy pretty much sucks at everything in life

30. Off the subject, YES you do care. Sorry but any doctor in this field of practice gets sued. We live in a sue happy world. I'd never sued anyone, and yes I've had the opportunity, but it wasn't legitimate in my mind and I wouldn't do it.

This guy is innocent UNTIL proven guilty. Everybody has trash in their background...EVERYBODY...and if you think you don't, just wait. That's life.

Racial prejudices are ignorant....should not even be posted. Dumba$$es.
