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.

46. We all have skeletons in our closet, including Harvey and everyone else working for TMZ and everyone posting on this site.

No one has presented any evidence that Dr. West's death was a result of wrong doing on Dr. Jan's part. TMZ is destroying this guys life for the fun of it. Let's hope it backfires on them and Dr. Jan actually uses this as a catalyst to get his drinking problem under control which seems to be at the root of all his bad behavior.

He's human Harv, just like you.

What could this story possibly have to do with Sharpton or Jackson. It has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with if there is a case of Medical Malpractice! Which hasn't been proven yet, because the toxicology reports aren't back yet. And people talk about black people pulling the race card, this time sir i think it was you!

48. And i wouldn't say that TMZ is racist in general , but most definately SOME of their posters are, there has yet to be a story about a black person that i've seen, no matter if the story is about something good or bad that isnt littered with the "n" word, monkey, ghetto trash, thug, go back to Africa and other derrogatory comments. Its really a shame, just go back and read the stories that are featured about black celebs and look at the comments.

49. Ok ,ok already, Harvey you were already on the news yesterday talking about Dr. Jan Adams!! His career is ruined, already! His personal life has nothing to do with his professional life! He is not a politician!! Move on to the next story or is there some personal issues going on here?

50. I feel kind of sorry for Dr Adams.......He is being tried and convicted (of What?)
by the news media amd TMZ......Its like all of the slime is oozing out of the woodwork........
Why not wait for the autospy report on Dr. West's cause of death...........His ex must be really stupid to marry a man who would choke her before marriage....maybe she has an ax to grind maybe she just is trying for her 15 minutes of air time......this sickens me so much negative reporting....

51. Every report on TMZ has a title and/or picture. If you aren't interested in reading about this unscrupulous celebrity doctor, why do you come here? Move on to something or someone that you like reading about. Cease and desist your whining over being bored with another Jan Adams report because no one is holding a gun barrel to your head forcing you to read about this snake charmer.

Some of us are very interested in how Donda West's tragic death occurred. It matters not to us if she was a negroid, a caucazoid, or a mongoloid. She was a human being who inspires our lives in different ways -

52. Uhm, hate to sound stupid. But Who's Dr. Adams? Why is it I should care that he and his wife have problems? That's like saying "your next door neighbor...." I honestly don't know Dr. Adams, never heard of him, never seen his face in a news article or on tv. Oh well. Such is life.

53. He must be related to the killer, OJ ... Who cares about him? We sure don't.

54. Hellooooooooo....did anyone notice she seemingly has been married to HOW MANY wealthy men? You've gotta question her motive and credibility...I AM NOT condoning what he did as right...if in fact he did hit her....however; she wasn't even married to him 5 months....How long did they date before marriage? 5 days? You've GOT to wonder about these Hollywood/Richie types!
We most often "get what we deserve".....Eeeeeek did I just say that?

55. Agree with #4....so many will not come forward for their 15 min. of fame. I can say that I am the daughter of the King of Siam but that does not make it true. Myself, I think it wise to mot form an opinion until all the story is in and we find out what the autopsy report says.

56. Yep TMZ you really know how to hit hard, here comes the mud slinging ! I think that is a poor excuse to report ........Slow down

57. TALK ABOUT BEATING A DEAD HORSE !!! THIS STORY IS SOOOOOOO DONE,MOVE ON PLEASE TMZ !!!

58. Do you notice how fast the reports are about his wifes and affairs come in the spot light when they havent even did a atopsy report. There pulling on TMZ is kind of sleazy to Judge this before a medical examine.

59. Hey Anyone at TMZ:

Somebody dispatch a camera crew quick! I heard that "Rental Man" is out on Wilshire doing a one of his raps about Dr Jan. Just kidding... But you know it probably won't be long...

60. hey harvey are you trying to destroy this guy life before the facts come out. wow you will get your rattings and web hits, nice.lets try to exaggerate the facts for a better story.
this guy was a respected surgeon who worked on numerous celebrities for many years,he is well known in the industry, i dont think they would have used him as the host on a plastic surgery procedure show if he wasnt. all of a sudden someone dies possibly because they were not honest about their medical history and we need someone to blame, uh oh it was kanye west mother and im guessing someone of your staff is great friends with kanye.SHE DIDNT DIE FROM A MEDICAL EMERGENCY SHE DIED POSSIBLEY BY COMPLICATIONS FROM PLASTIC SURGERY,hey people dont you sign a waiver stating im willing to RISK my life to look a certain way.
what if she died from being over weight or the anesthesiologist and it wasnt his fault will TMZ issue and apology for destroying is life.
oh yea doctors pay extremelly high insurance rates because they always get sued, he got sued twice in 20 years . oh god oh god hes the worst doctor on earth.
