NYC Model Sues Ex-Boyfriend, Claiming Captivity and Torture in Disturbing Domestic Dispute

NEW YORK — A lawsuit filed in New York has surfaced unsettling allegations against Dr. Ammar Mahmoud, a plastic surgeon based in the city, accusing him of severely abusing and controlling his ex-girlfriend, Maya Willow Sias. Sias, who is pursuing both a modeling and singing career, claims the abuse was so severe that she had to flee to Los Angeles to escape the situation.

According to legal documents, the ordeal began shortly after Sias moved into Mahmoud’s $1.7 million Fifth Avenue apartment. Sias alleges that Mahmoud physically assaulted her, causing significant injuries including a fractured orbital socket, and subsequently held her captive to prevent her from seeking medical help or contacting authorities. The lawsuit details that during this period, Mahmoud administered antidepressants and ketamine to maintain control over her.

The documents further allege that to conceal the injuries he inflicted, Mahmoud used his medical skills unethically. It is claimed he performed medical procedures on Sias without proper anesthesia, including injecting tear duct filler in a purportedly excruciating and unnecessarily painful manner.

Sias’s attorney, Larry Hutcher, described the abuse as life-threatening and mentioned that after a lengthy period of fear, Sias gathered the courage to forward with the lawsuit. Hutcher expressed that Sias is motivated by a duty to protect others from potential harm.

The lawsuit also includes earlier accusations from Mahmoud’s ex-wife, suggesting a pattern of abusive behavior. The complaints compound the serious nature of the allegations against the plastic surgeon, raising concerns about his conduct both personally and professionally.

Despite repeated attempts, Mahmoud remains unreachable for comments, and his office has not responded to inquiries. However, he was recently observed in public in upscale locales around New York, appearing unaffected by the ongoing legal troubles.

This case shines a light on the dark intersection of personal relationships and power dynamics, especially concerning individuals in positions of authority and trust, like medical professionals. The legal proceedings are expected to further explore the depths of the allegations and the evidence supporting Sias’s claims.

Legal experts predict a challenging battle in court, given the severe allegations and the complexity of relationship-based disputes that enter the legal arena. The case is likely to attract attention from advocates against domestic abuse and those calling for stricter oversight of professional ethics in medicine.

As this story develops, the court documents and subsequent proceedings will provide a clearer picture of both the accused’s actions and the resilience of the alleged victim in seeking justice.
