NY- A group of cops didn’t play nice with a Playboy Playmate, leering at her body and shoving her to the ground in Chelsea after a cab driver falsely claimed she threatened him with a gun, the model says.

“I felt assaulted,” said Stephanie Adams – the first openly lesbian Playmate – of the incident near her home at 11 p.m. Thursday.

“They pulled guns on me and there were several of them,” the 35-year-old stunner said.

“They know what happened was wrong, the way they looked at my breasts and crotch. I was wearing tight-fitting pants and they could see I didn’t have a gun, but they forced me down and pushed my face into the ground.”

Adams said the encounter left her with a sore back and she couldn’t sleep afterward.

“I’m an emotional wreck,” she said.

Adams, who filed a complaint about the incident with the 10th Precinct in Chelsea and the Civilian Complaint Review Board, said cops refused to give her their names and she never learned the name of the cabby.

The incident started after the driver of a yellow cab picked her up on the Upper East Side, where she had treated her stylist to a birthday dinner, and headed downtown, Adams said.

At 10:50 p.m., they arrived at the corner of West 22nd Street and Ninth Avenue but the cabby refused to pull up in front of her door, claiming it wasn’t convenient for him, she said.

An argument ensued, with the driver screaming curses at her as she sat in the back seat, she said.

So Adams – Miss November 1992 and an advocate for gay rights – called 911. The driver also called cops, telling officers she had a gun, she said.

She climbed out of the cab and was standing across the street holding her phone when five to seven officers arrived and drew their weapons, she said. One threatened to shoot her, she claimed.

The cops removed her bag and two of them forced her to the ground, she said, putting pressure on her back and pushing her face into the pavement.

Adams got up and told them they could check her for a weapon. Two officers leered at her snug outfit and said they could see no place for her to hide a weapon, she said. They didn’t frisk her or touch her inappropriately, she said.

The cops told her she had to pay the fare, $10.60, which she did. They let the driver go, then took off.

“He should have been charged with filing a false police report,” she said.

Adams called another police friend – Mike Petrillo, a respected community affairs cop at the 10th Precinct, and he walked her home, she said. She then contacted her lawyer, Raoul Felder, who plans to pursue the matter.

Police spokesman Paul Browne acknowledged that the cabby claimed Adams had a weapon but said she refused to pay the fare.

“She said she didn’t want to pay because the cabby had stopped about half a block from the front of her apartment building entrance, stopped the meter, and asked for payment,” he said. Her complaint about the officers, he said, came after cops “directed her to pay the cabby.”
