Ex-Playboy Playmate jumps off hotel with her son

An ex-Playboy playmate leapt to her death from the top of a 25-story skyscraper holding her seven year-old son amid a vicious custody battle with her ex.

Stephanie Adams, 47, and her son Vincent died after plunging from the top of the Gotham Hotel in Midtown Manhattan on Friday morning, into a second-floor courtyard at the rear of the building.

Page Six reported that Adams was embroiled in a ‘fierce court battle’ with her former husband Charles Nicolai, also 47.

The chiropractor’s lawyer is said to have recently demanded that Adams hand over Vincent’s passport, spoiling plans for a summer vacation in Europe.

It is reported that the estranged couple’s relationship was so toxic they would meet at a NYPD precinct in Tribeca for handovers, to ensure that violence did not ensue.

Adams and Vincent checked into the $870-a-night penthouse on Thursday evening, NYPD Chief of Manhattan Detectives William Aubrey told a press conference Friday. He added:

‘Early this morning investigators located an individual whose attention was drawn to that same second-floor area when he heard two loud noises. ‘His attention was drawn to that and he discovered these two deceased individuals.’

It is not known whether Adams left a suicide note. The model, who was Playboy’s Miss November in 1992, came out as Playboy’s first gay centerfold in 2003.

She later married a male investment banker, before becoming engaged to Nicolai in 2009. After leaving modeling behind, she turned her hand to writing self-help books, and penned 25 of the non-fiction titles.
