NYC Surgeon Fights Back Against Model’s ‘Sex Slave’ Allegations: Court Docs
In a shocking twist in the courtroom drama of the season, a renowned Manhattan plastic surgeon has struck back against explosive allegations made by his model ex-girlfriend, who claims he transformed her into a “sex slave” and performed medical procedures on her without anesthesia to conceal his alleged abuse.
Maya Willow Sias, the 25-year-old model at the center of this storm, has had her bold accusations challenged by the surgeon, Ammar Mahmoud. His legal team argues that Sias’ own text messages and Instagram posts tell a very different story, undermining her $10 million lawsuit.
According to a detailed 18-page court filing, Sias is painted as a “manipulative” individual with a history of violence fueled by alcohol and a penchant for leveraging false accusations in her romantic relationships. “She’s not being honest; she’s attempting to shake down Dr. Mahmoud for money,” stated his attorney, Marc Kasowitz, from Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP.
In her lawsuit, filed in Manhattan earlier this October, Sias alleges that during a brief but tumultuous relationship, Mahmoud subjected her to horrific abuse, including an incident that left her with a shattered eye socket. She claims he then tried to cover up his actions by performing painful cosmetic procedures on her without any pain relief.
The case escalated to federal court in November, drawing more attention and intrigue as the sordid details emerged. Sias claims to have been brutally assaulted on June 7, 2023, when Mahmoud allegedly attacked her after she discovered him partying with three prostitutes. The suit presents damning photos of Sias’ bruised face, purportedly taken after the alleged attack.
However, Mahmoud’s lawyers counter that the timeline of events contradicts Sias’ claims. They point to Instagram snapshots and text messages that showcase her leading a vibrant, carefree life, even on the very day she alleges she was held captive and abused. The filing highlights that late-night texts indicate the couple was at a nightclub until nearly dawn, with a friend’s Instagram post showing an uninjured Sias just hours after the alleged assault.
Further complicating her allegations, Sias is reported to have enjoyed a “girls night” out with friends, a stark contrast to her claim of being trapped in Mahmoud’s apartment. The filing also emphasizes an Instagram post made the day after the alleged attack, showcasing her seemingly unscathed appearance.
Moreover, evidence presented by Mahmoud’s attorneys suggests that Sias attended multiple events on June 8, freely engaging in social activities without any sign of coercion or duress. They also highlight a text she sent in early August, indicating her face was in “perfect condition,” which directly contradicts her accusations of receiving clandestine medical treatment for injuries sustained during the alleged abuse.
In a further twist, Sias’ past communications with Mahmoud appear to reflect a consensual relationship, challenging her narrative of ongoing abuse. After their relationship ended, she quickly became engaged to another man—one significantly older—and allegedly continued to involve herself in tumultuous relationships rife with similar accusations of abuse.
As the case unfolds, it’s clear that the courtroom is heating up with sensational accusations and dramatic claims from both sides, leaving observers eager to see how this complex narrative will evolve. Will the truth come to light, or will this saga become another tale of intrigue and deception? Stay tuned.
As of now, Sias’ attorney has not commented on the ongoing developments.
These explosive claims echo previous allegations made by Mahmoud’s ex-wife in a separate legal battle, suggesting this story may have deeper roots than initially perceived.
