Lowery-Stein clash “inevitable,” some say

On the heels of Natavia Lowery’s conviction in the Linda Stein murder case, many in the industry are still asking how it could have happened. The two women’s interaction was a clash of wills, according to the New York Daily News, which painted the working relationship between Stein, the Prudential Douglas Elliman super-broker, and Lowery, her assistant, as a ticking time bomb. While Stein, who was reportedly prone to confrontations with her adversaries, had climbed a hardscrabble road to the top, Lowery had been equally strong-willed. “The Oct. 30, 2007, clash of two strong women who usually got what they wanted — in vastly different ways — seemed inevitable,” the New York Daily News said.
