Realtor to the stars Linda Stein had it coming, suspect Natavia Lowery told prosecutors in a chilling taped murder confession revealed for the first time today.

“She has never, never, never treated me like this!” the pretty personal assistant fumed to prosecutors in the tape.

“Never!” she shouts, describing how the high-powered Realtor was cursing up a storm in her Fifth Avenue apartment while handling a $30 million sale on an October morning in 2007 – all the while puffing pot like a locomotive and waving around a wooden yoga stick.

“So I snatched it from her,” Lowery added, almost calmly. “So I took it and I like hit her with it.”

“After the first time, she fell?” prosecutor Joan Illuzzi-Orbon then asks from off camera, matching her suspect’s calm.

“Yes,” the now-sniffling Lowery answered. “I wasn’t myself.”

Stein’s daughter, Mandy – who had discovered her mother’s corpse – was also sobbing in the Manhattan courtroom where the tape is being played during a pre-trial hearing to determine its admissibility.

“I was mad,” Lowery continued. “I was confused. I was angry. I was paranoid,” Lowery told the prosecutor. “I was feeling like I never had before. I felt like she was my worst enemy. How do you go from being someone’s best friend to, like, enemy? You know?”

“How often did she say something you found offensive,” Illuzzi-Orbon asked – a subtle nudge to continue. Lowery took the bait.

“Um, probably like every other day. You know. She never said anything about black people. She’d always just be like, ‘Spics this, stupid Mexican rats this. Why do they work here, why are they here? I hate foreigners.’ I was like, ‘Linda, you shouldn’t be like that.’ She’d say, ‘I pay my taxes, I can say whatever I want.”

Did Stein touch you with the stick, Illuzzi-Orbon asked.

“She just had the cane, swinging it,” Lowery said.

“Did you find that demeaning?” Illuzzi-Orbon asked, gently – another nudge.

“Yes, yes,” Lowery answered.

How many times did you hit her, Illuzzi-Orbon asked.

Lowery sniffled audibly on the tape before answering, slowly, “Probably … six?”

“I just feel angry,” Lowery said, switching to present tense as if reliving the moment. “It was like, you know, just so I can breathe, just so I can get back to normal, you know?”

“What made you stop hitting her?” Illuzzi-Orbon asked.

“I think it was just like, you know, I hit her six times, and then I stood up and I was like in total shock, like -” Lowery’s voice trailed off.

Then Illuzzi-Orbon asked why Lowery needed to stand – had she been crouching as she continued to hit the fallen woman? Lowery said she had been crouching, then stood up.

“I was just standing there. I said her name so many times. I shook her so many times. It was like once I hit her, that was it. It was kinda like if you close your eyes. You know, that’s it. I didn’t see any you know, blood or anything. It was like my eyes were closed.

“My intentions weren’t to kill her. It was like, just leave me alone,” Lowery said, her voice rising as if she again were shouting at her doomed boss.

“Leave me alone!” Lowery repeated.

“You know, it was like she was my worst enemy you know, at the time.”
