A Manhattan plastic surgeon cut back against his model ex-girlfriend’s explosive claims he turned her into a “sex slave” and performed a procedure without anesthesia to cover up his abuse.
Maya Willow Sias’ own texts and Instagram posts disprove her bombshell accusations against Fifth Avenue surgeon Ammar Mahmoud, his argued lawyers in a court filing last week against her $10 million lawsuit.
The 18-page answer contends Sias, 25, is a “manipulative woman with a track record of alcohol-fueled violence and of threatening romantic partners with reporting false accusations of abuse.”
“She doesn’t tell the truth because she is trying to shake down Dr. Mahmoud for money, as we detailed in our answer,” the doctor’s attorney Marc Kasowitz, a partner at Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP, told The Post.
Sias, in a lawsuit filed in Manhattan court during October, contended Mahmoud had turned her into a “sex slave” during a short, abusive relationship with him.
The case was moved to federal court in November.
Mahmoud had once beaten Sias so brutally that he shattered her eye socket — and had tried to cover up his abuse by secretly taking her to his luxurious Alinea Medical Spa, where he painfully injected fillers into her still-swollen face without anesthetic, the bombshell suit contended.
The lawsuit included photographs of Sias’ bruised and swollen face purportedly taken by the model after the alleged June 7, 2023, attack by Mahmoud, in which he was said to have mercilessly punched and smothered her with a pillow after she awoke in the middle of the night to find him partying with three prostitutes.
But Mahmoud’s attorneys maintain that Sias’ story of horrific abuse and sexual slavery is undercut by Instagram photos and personal texts with her then-paramour.
The texts and pics provide contemporaneous proof that Sias carried on a carefree, glamorous life during the time she alleged he horrifically abused and held her prisoner, according to the new filing.
Texts from early June 7, 2023, appear to show that Mahmoud and Sias had been at a nightclub until almost 4 a.m. — and an Instagram post from one of her friends showed she had no injuries to her face, the filing argues.
Other posts from later that day show Sias went to Lamia’s Fish Market with three friends for a “girls night,” contradicting her assertion she went to dinner with Mahmoud, the papers contend.
“More significantly, on June 8, Ms. Sias posted a picture of herself on Instagram which makes it apparent that the alleged June 7 assault could not have happened as alleged in the Complaint,” the filing states.
The Post couldn’t independently verify if the photo showing Sias’ apparently uninjured face was taken after the alleged attack.
Sias contended after the alleged beating that Mahmoud effectively kept her prisoner in his apartment for a month.
In the filing, Mahmoud’s attorneys contend that texts from June 8, 2023, showed she attended “three separate events that evening and did not ask for his permission.”
The clandestine medical treatment Sias alleged Mahmoud conducted on her battered face in late July 2023 is likewise undercut by an early August 2023 text she sent to him that shows it and her right eye “to be in perfect condition,” the filing contends.
The filing offers other, sometimes graphic texts from Sias to Mahmoud that his lawyers contend show that they had a mutual and consensual relationship, rather than the nightly forcible sexual assaults she claimed he subjected her to for months.
Mahmoud’s attorneys also claim that Sias ultimately left New York not to escape his abuse, but because “he no longer was willing to pay for all of the luxuries she wanted,” the filing states.
Days after Sias left the city, she became “engaged to a different, older, wealthy man – approximately 40 years her senior and now her husband” with whom she had an allegedly tumultuous relationship involving false accusations of abuse, the filing contends.
Sias’ attorney Larry Hutcher couldn’t be reached for comment.
The abuse accusations leveled by Sias in her lawsuit echoed similar claims made by Mahmoud’s ex-wife in a long-running court battle.
