Ex-Playboy Playmate, fatally, jumps off hotel with her son
A former Playmate model has fallen to her death with her seven-year-old son from the window of a New York City hotel, local media say.
Both the 47-year-old woman, named as Stephanie Adams, and the boy were pronounced dead at the scene, the Gotham Hotel in midtown Manhattan.
She was in a bitter custody battle with her estranged husband over the child, according to the New York Post. Adams and her son checked into the hotel Thursday at 6 p.m. and were assigned to the 25th floor suite.
Stephanie Adams and her estranged husband, Charles Nicolai, were in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday morning — when she asked a judge for permission to take their son, Vincent, to Spain for the summer.
Nicolai, who has visitation rights, fought against the plans, and ultimately a judge sided with the Wall Street chiropractor. Adams was ordered to turn over Vincent’s passport as a result.
The 47-year-old mom sounded distraught in a two-minute phone call to The Post’s Richard Johnson around 1:15 p.m. Thursday.
She said Nicolai and his lawyer were blocking her from taking her son on vacation. “All I want to do is take my son and get away from this nightmare for a few days,” she said. “But they won’t let me.”
