A Manhattan plastic surgeon has retracted his former model girlfriend's claims that he turned her into a “sex slave” and operated on her without anesthesia to cover up his abuse.
Maya Willow's political texts and Instagram posts refute her shocking accusations against Fifth Avenue surgeon Ammar Mahmoud, whose lawyers argued in a lawsuit last week against a $10 million lawsuit.
The 18-page answer asserts that Sias, 25, is “a manipulative woman with a history of alcohol-fueled violence and threatening romantic partners with false accusations of abuse.”
“She is not telling the truth because she is trying to blackmail Dr. Mahmoud for money, as we detailed in our answer,” the doctor’s attorney, Mark Kasowitz, a partner at Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP, told The Post.
In a lawsuit she filed in a Manhattan court in October, Sias alleged that Mahmoud turned her into a “sex slave” during a brief, abusive relationship with him.
The case was transferred to federal court in November.
Mahmoud had once beaten Sias so brutally that he shattered her eye socket – and tried to cover up his abuse by secretly taking her to the luxury Alinea medical spa, where he painfully injected fillers into her still-swollen face without anesthesia, the stunning suit. He claimed.
The lawsuit included photos of Sias's bruised and swollen face, which the model allegedly took after the alleged attack on June 7, 2023, by Mahmoud, in which he allegedly punched her mercilessly and suffocated her with a pillow after she woke up in the middle of the night. The night finds him partying with three prostitutes.
But Mahmoud's lawyers contend that Sias' story of horrific abuse and sexual slavery was undermined by personal Instagram photos and text messages with her then-lover.
The texts and photographs provide contemporary evidence that Sias lived a glamorous, carefree life during the period when he allegedly horrifically abused her and held her prisoner, according to the new dossier.
The texts from early June 7, 2023, appear to show that Mahmoud and Sias were at a nightclub until about 4 a.m. — and an Instagram post from one of her friends showed that she did not suffer any facial injuries, the filing says.
Other posts later that day show that Sias went to Lamia Fish Market with three of her friends for a “girls’ night,” which contradicts her assertion that she went to dinner with Mahmoud, the newspapers assert.
“Most importantly, on June 8, Ms. Sasi posted a photo of herself on Instagram making clear that the alleged assault on June 7 could not have occurred as alleged in the complaint,” the complaint states.
The newspaper was unable to independently verify whether the photo showing Sias's apparently uninjured face was taken a day after the alleged attack.
After the alleged beating, Siyas claimed that Mahmoud kept her prisoner in his apartment for a month.
Mahmoud's lawyers assert in the lawsuit that texts issued on June 8, 2023, showed that she attended “three separate events that evening and did not ask for his permission.”
The dossier alleges that secret medical treatment that Sias claimed Mahmoud performed on her damaged face in late July 2023 was also undermined by a text message she sent him in early August 2023 showing her with her right eye “in perfect condition.”
The file presents other, sometimes graphic, texts from Sias to Mahmoud, which his lawyers contend had a mutually consensual relationship, rather than the nighttime forced sexual assaults he allegedly subjected her to for months.
Mahmoud's lawyers also claim that Sias ultimately left New York not to escape his abuse, but because he was “no longer willing to pay for all the luxuries she wanted,” the suit says.
Days after Sias left town, she became “engaged to a different, older, wealthy man — approximately 40 years her senior and now her husband” with whom she had an alleged tumultuous relationship involving false accusations of abuse, the filing said.
Sias's lawyer, Larry Hatcher, could not be reached for comment.
The assault accusations made by Sias in her lawsuit echo similar allegations made by Mahmoud's ex-wife in a long-running legal battle.
