This is very, very, very disturbing.
In my humble opinion, I've always felt Anna Nicole's tragic ending and
that of her son was a product of the media, society, and her "celebrity"
status after The Anna Nicole Show. She couldn't handle
it, nor could those around her.
Here is some very shocking footage of Anna
Nicole, wearing clown makeup and truly thinking that a toy doll is
her baby, obviously drunk or stoned out of her mind while about 8 months
pregnant. Before Daniel-Lyn was born, before Daniel died.
Before they had any idea of the tragedies about to befall
them.
A friend of the family had their 9-year old
child over visiting. Anna, walking around with her breast falling
out of her sarong, in full-on clown makeup, fights with the young girl
about whether or not the toy doll is real.
At one point, the little girl starts
tapping Anna lightly on the side of the head and asks, "Are you
asleep?"
"Somebody stole, and released it to the
media in order to make her look bad," Howard K. Stern says.
Actually, it doesn't make Anna Nicole Smith look bad: it makes you feel very,
very sorry for her. She's taken to speaking completely in her baby
voice throughout the footage, and appears to be in serious need of
psychological help.
And it makes Stern look bad.
The one who handled her finances, her inheritance battle, and was
supposed to be her companion.
Instead, Stern says on tape "this footage
is worth money," and films on, despite the scenes of a pregnant Anna
stumbling by the pool, and the young witness begging Howard to stop
filming and get Anna help.
The child finally turns to the camera, and
says, "Howard, help. Howard, seriously help." And
then again later, she grabs Howard's arm while he's taping, and says, "I
think we need the hospital. Howard, seriously, please
help."
The girl's father took Stern's video
footage and gave it to FOX News to air, refusing any money for it and
just requesting that the "lies stop." He said that his daughter
has been greatly emotionally affected by this. FOX aired it on
Geraldo at Large.
Poor little girl. I feel sorry for
her on two counts: that she had to witness this, and that her
father watches FOX News.
