Supermodel Stephanie Seymour settles with guard accused of shoving her into door at Conn. home

Supermodel, guard settle Conn. home scuffle case

STAMFORD, Conn. — Former supermodel Stephanie Seymour has come to a closed-door agreement with a security guard who was accused of shoving her into a door at her Connecticut home.

Seymour got into a dispute with guard Joseph Babnik in June when he was watching the Greenwich estate of her estranged husband, billionaire newsprint magnate Peter Brant.

Babnik told police Seymour had taken documents from him and he was trying to get them back. The former New York City police officer from Carmel, N.Y., was arrested and given a misdemeanor summons on a disorderly conduct charge.

But the state’s attorney on Friday declined to prosecute the case. The charge will be dismissed in a year if Babnik stays out of trouble.

Lawyers for Seymour and Babnik have declined to comment on the case’s resolution.
