STEPHANIE SEYMOUR DIVORCE TURNING VIOLENT

THE bitter divorce between supermodel Stephanie Seymour, 39, and her 62-year-old polo-playing husband, Peter Brant, has become a real-life “War of the Roses.”

Police were called twice to the couple’s estate in Greenwich, Conn., Thursday night after Seymour was allegedly shoved into a door by one of Brant’s bodyguards, the Greenwich Time reported.

“This is not the first time we’ve been out there,” said Lt. Richard Cochran.

Several patrol cars arrived at the estate after Seymour’s assistant called 911 at around 6 p.m. and said she heard “banging and screaming.” The guard, Joseph Babnik, tried to block Seymour, 39, who is living in the guest house, from entering the main house, police said Friday.

Babnik told police he did not touch Seymour, and fell into the door while attempting to block her from entering. But Babnik was charged with disorderly conduct.

Several hours later, police were called to the house again after a verbal altercation between Seymour and another security guard.

Police were called last month after the windshield of a car on the property was smashed with a baseball bat, The Stamford Advocate reports.

Seymour’s lawyer, Mark Sherman, told The Advocate: “The situation has escalated to a point where Ms. Seymour is gravely concerned for her and her children’s safety.” Seymour and Brant have three kids, ages 4, 12 and 15.

“The scare and surveillance tactics going on here are dangerous and flagrantly criminal,” the attorney added. “What’s next? Bodyguards for his bodyguards?”

“Peter Brant was 3,000 miles away in Europe at the time of this incident,” said his spokesman, Howard Rubenstein. “He knew nothing about it and was not involved in any way.”
