Ex Playboy Playmate Stephanie Adams fires 'too cute' yoga teacher Dilek Edwards

A NEW YORK yoga teacher is suing her Playboy Playmate boss for allegedly firing her because she's 'too cute' to be around her husband.

A NEW YORK yoga teacher is suing her Playboy Playmate boss for allegedly firing her because she's 'too cute' to be around her husband.

In court papers filed Wednesday, yoga teacher Dilek Edwards charges she was illegally fired last month by Stephanie Adams from the Wall Street chiropractic clinic the former nude model co-owns with her husband, Charles Nicolai.

The New York Post reports that Ms Edwards’ firing came after Mr Nicolai had warned her in June that his wife "might become jealous" of the flexible young blonde because she’s "too cute," the suit says.

And on October 30, Ms Edwards claims she got a "frantic," 1:31am text message from Ms Adams that said, "You are NOT welcome any longer at Wall Street Chiropractic, DO NOT ever step foot in there again, and stay the F–K away from my husband and family!!!!!!!"

"And remember I warned you," Ms Adams allegedly added.

Ms Edwards, 32, insists that her relationship with Mr Nicolai was "purely professional" and that she has no clue what sparked Ms Adams’ "absurd suspicions."

Reached on Wednesday, however, she told The Post that Mr Nicolai had her give him yoga-therapy sessions to alleviate pain from an accident - but told her that "it had to be a secret."

"He said if his wife hears about it, she can create some scenarios," Ms Edwards said.

Her suit seeks unspecified damages from Ms Adams and ­Mr Nicolai, alleging sexual harassment, gender discrimination and unlawful termination.

Ms Adams, 43, denied her allegations and sniffed that there’s no way she’s jealous of the younger woman’s looks.

"No disrespect to anyone - but I’m a centerfold," she said.

Ms Adams became the first openly lesbian Playmate after being featured as Miss November in 1992 and last year said, "I still identify myself as LGBT," despite having twice gotten married to men and bearing a son with Nicolai.

She has also claimed to be a "direct descendant" of Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams.

"I can only imagine they’re rolling over in their graves because of the outrageous behaviour of their purported descendant," said Ms Edwards’ lawyer, Maimon Kirschenbaum.

Last year, Ms Adams made headlines when she won $1.2  million from the city over her 2006 arrest for allegedly threatening to shoot a cabby - even though she was wearing skintight clothing with ­nowhere to hide a weapon.

Ms Adams’ lawyer, Doug Wigdor, said Ms Adams filed a complaint with cops after Ms Edwards allegedly threatened Mr Nicolai that she would kill him and his family if she got fired.

Mr Wigdor also said of Ms Edwards’ claims: "I don’t understand how any of this constitutes gender discrimination."
