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.

32. Dena and College Grad, you'd think they'd have more sense but the hospitals, morgues and shelters are full of women who think the guy really loves them and will change if they (the women) only do everything right so their man doesn't get disappointed and angry at them. Only a small percentage actually have the sense to eventually leave like this woman did. Sad but true.

35. NOW NOW

this whole thing is starting to smell really bad

can we say it??

yes we can (please pray this doesn't get censored)


TMZ is racist
TMZ is racist
TMZ is racist
TMZ is racist
TMZ is racist

TMZ is racist

TMZ is racist
TMZ is racist
TMZ is racist
TMZ is racist

Why such obsession over the doctor and 0 coverage of the victim?
Why plaster his face over and over and over again?
Why does he get several stories while Britney now is sharing story space?

This is not a strech when you considered that TMZ has shown a pattern of negative coverage of the black community. For example when they did the bit about the tax-cheats they selected ONLY the black people on the IRS list...and so on and so forth.

Why is Levin so anti black?
is there something about him?
his upbringing? family culture?

and why does TMZ staff play his race-hate game??

36. "10. gomez addams
move on to what??? Britney???

Your choices are Dr. Adams or Britney...ALL.DAY.LONG"


Wicked: You sure got that right. If it's not this guy or Britt the Twitt, it's Hayden Panattiere.
I honestly dont know why I come here. It's like a car accident and I cant make myself look away.

37. I dont care what color the guy is, I am just tired of seeing stories about him. I am sick of seeing Brittney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, and Hayden Panattiere, and last time I checked none of them were black.

38. OK how can you people say TMZ is racist? the main person they make fun of and report is britney spears, who is as white as the come. and lets not forget when they were doing all that Paris and Lindsay stories who are again both white.

but anytime the put a black man in a bad light (which this doc deserves to be). it must be racism?

and by the way im black, so i don't want any of you calling me a racist either

41. TMZ has got to be the LEAST racist website out there! 99% of their stories are about how screwed up the rich white brats are! Look how mean they are to Britney, Paris, Nick Hogan, and the like.

When the news of Dr. West's death was reported by TMZ it was done so with tact and respect. They're currently bashing this doctor not because he's black but because there is increasing evidence that his malpractice killed this woman!

42. I'm just glad she got out of that abusive marriage. I hope she prospers, LOL. Azz whuppins are costly!

Posted at 1:58PM on Nov 14th 2007 by LoveyDovey

43. It's obvious she only married him because she WANTED to divorce him and claim alimony from a doctor. No normal woman would marry a man AFTER he beat the cr*p out of her unless she was in it for the money.

44. I think, combined, you poster's have an IQ of like 24. Good luck with that...LOL.

45. STOP MISREPRENTING FACTS. TMZ is lying about this doctor and the surgery he performed. Also, DUI arrests and malpractice cases from 2001 don't matter - they don't have any bearing on whether he did anything wrong with Dr. West. He practices plastic surgery in LA - does anyone really expect that there won't be lawsuits against someone doing plastic surgery on a bunch of wanna-be actresses looking for a job, money and 15 minutes of fame??????
