Celebrity Justice
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.

I guess when you claim your being sleazed you better make sure your not guilty of being one.

# 50. Stop being like a fat mayor on a soap box trying to calm the people "Charles"
This is not standard practice for an ex wife. What kind of knuckle dragging logic is that!
I bet you believe Drew Peterson's version as well, that his wife was just emotionaly unstable from PMS!
Could not have been the mind bending games of an abuser now could it.

64. You know sometimes... I get the feeling that someone who must really like defending Dr. Adams, is posting here with many different screen names. Is that you Jan?

65. Well you know once you are forced into the limelight that all kinds of stuff is going to find it's way into the public view. Dr. Adam's should have kept his big mouth shut until everything was over. The less said the better by him... Now this can and will probably get ugly. Until the report is released no one will really know what happened to Ms. West and that will take weeks probably. I guess Dr. Adam's has a case of hoof and mouth desease. Everyone is now looking at his records including malpatient claims...which all doctors get... it is the settlement issues that often times will say more about the validity of a case. Now I am wondering does he have a professional death wish? May be his actions speak louder than his words.

66. In response to #60

Jan... ooops, I mean HONEST ABE,

What is up with you? Your rant seems like that of a crazy-insane person. Do you personally know Dr. Adams? If so, please tell us all about your personal connection...

In the meantime, stop ripping on Harvey and his staff - they are just doing their jobs - reporting the headline M&E news. And like it or not , Dr. Adams is headline news now - and if this trainwreck continues to pile up - probably for a long while to come...

67. I would like to see a Picture of Susie -- is she white? is she fine? Didn't she know he was a psycho before she married him? And how much is she getting in the divorce?

68. Susie seems to have the problem instead of Dr. Adams for marrying an abuser after expericing his brutality. Is it a sweet or legal attack after marriage or bragging rights that your husband hit you vs your man? Its amazing that all garbage comes out on this man and he is not the first doctor to have DUI's or check the doctor's lockers and you find liquor and etc to deal with their needs and its ignored until something like this occur.Dr. Adams did his job but the concern is the supervisor/anesthesiologists/chief medical doctor over the surgery department that did not have medical clearance for this patient and the case management that would allow a patient to be discharged after 8 hours of surgery to go home without 48 hours observation and the discharge planner. Its a lot of people responsible before it reaches Dr. Adams.Dr. Adams may have taken 8 hours and all his procedures were done properly but what happen with postop care.

69. Gettting a TV doctor is like getting a TV lawyer. You get the bum rush. But he was probably on the cheap so it was OK. Research, research research people. Know who is cutting you open, know who is giving you the anesthesia. But for all you who are coming forward now, if you were so concerned about his medical practice you would have notified the medical board before this. You are all on the bandwagon for Kenye's lawsuit and hoping you will get alittle something and I am sure you are all emailing your names and addresses to him too, waiting for a buck instead of getting a job

70. Holy smokes, that was the worst written article I've ever seen. It doesn't explain ANYTHING! Hire new writers.

71. Just reread the article. No place does it state that he was convicted of anything. He was accused and that is not guilt in my book. If all this crap happened before she married him and she still married him, could seriously question her truth telling in the matter............

73. o.k., and she is revealing this now...for what reason?

Posted at 4:55PM on Nov 14th 2007 by VAN DIVA

74. I think TMZ is in general being fair to Dr Adams... Well, at least they are not printing headlines line the New York Post did today:

"KANYE-MA SURGEON A DWI BOOB"

Wow! Thats got to sting... The NYP has a circ of about 725,000 and over million readers.
