The doctor who did Paula Jones’ nose job dropped his surgical trousers and demanded oral sex from one of his employees minutes after performing the infamous operation, a sexual-harassment suit claims.
The claim – similar to allegations Jones made against then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton – is made by Christine Sabia in a suit filed yesterday against surgeon Thomas Loeb.
“I’m a doctor, but I’m also human,” said Loeb, admitting to having an affair with Sabia. He said she’s been trying to “extort” money from him since he ended their consensual affair.
In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Sabia, 36, said she first met Loeb, 45, when she went to him for breast-enhancement surgery in 1997. A short time later, he offered her a job as his receptionist.
While performing a follow-up exam on her, Loeb exposed himself, asked her for sexual favors, and threatened to fire her if she refused, the suit said.
He “demanded oral sex … approximately three times weekly, during business hours, and falsely imprisoned [Sabia] in his office unless she would perform the act,” the papers said. The sessions allegedly took place at Loeb’s Park Avenue and Queens offices and in his recovery room.
Last July 18, after Loeb “completed the surgery on Mrs. Jones, he went into his office, pulled down his scrub pants and exposed [himself], and demanded oral sex” from Sabia, the papers allege.
The sexual demands became more “outlandish,” the papers said, and after Sabia told the doctor she “would no longer service him,” he fired her.
Loeb said, “In 1998, for the first and only time during my 19-year marriage, I had an affair … I apologized to my wife a year ago and I apologized again today when we read together the many outrageous lies in Ms. Sabia’s complaint. I’m sure I’ll be vindicated in court.”
Sabia couldn’t be reached for comment.
