The more I hear in this Anna Nicole story, the more realize she really wasn’t someone I could have much sympathy for, or even give a shit about. She was so delusional that, according to her former nanny, she ordered that her baby be underfed so that the infant would be “sexy.”

Her former nanny gave a sworn statement before Anna died, saying she was concerned for the baby’s welfare in so unstable a home and with an absent, erratic mother.

Anna insisted Dannielynn be fed only 2.5 ounces of formula every three hours instead of the standard 3 ounces because she was obsessed with her tiny daughter being “sexy.” She didn’t seem concerned for any other aspect of Dannielynn’s health or well being, though, and apart from strictly monitoring her food intake she wasn’t around much.

The nanny said that Anna spent barely any time with her daughter, preferring instead to be locked up for hours in her bedroom with the Bahamian immigration minister, or sleeping off her drug-induced haze and waking up in a foul mood.

Other caregivers included the friend and mother of Anna’s special favor’s lover, the bahamian immigration minister. Anna couldn’t be bothered to be around Dannielynn much, but she did tell the nanny that she would shoot her if she heard her daughter call her “mummy.”

Anna was also seen downing an entire bottle of sleeping medication, after which she laid in a coma for 48 hours and was surprised to wake up, telling the nanny she meant to kill herself. She also tried to drown herself in the pool, and once she was rescued by Howard he told her that he would get arrested if she died.

The nanny was ultimately fired after less than three months when Anna, in a drugged fit, accused her of losing the user’s manual to a new washing machine.

Other salacious details in the Anna Nicole Smith case include the fact that she had a doctor friend prescribe her methadone and demerol under a false name right before she gave birth to tragic Dannielynn. She had the drugs delivered to her in the Bahamas. She was friends with the prescribing doctor and was seen riding a convertible with him in a gay pride parade in 2005.

Our friends at Gabsmash point out that methadone is a liquid and that no pills were found in Anna’s stomach. Toxicology reports are pending, and it’s probable that she died of a methadone overdose.

The National Enquirer reports on Anna’s last drug-filled days, saying she was spiraling out of control after the death of her son Daniel. She smoked crack (they say cocaine, but I’m assuming it’s crack if she smoked it, my drug knowledge is limited), accused Howard of trying to kill her, never ate and was basically a mess:

An insider even claims they heard her outrageously yell at Howard: ‘I don’t want to see you again – you’re trying to kill me!’

“Howard never used drugs but Anna smoked cocaine every single day.

“She’d smoke the cocaine and 10 or 15 minutes later she would be a changed person, very animated and talking loudly.

“Sometimes she would smoke too much – and took pills to bring her down.”

The insider added, “Many times she was so drugged that she fell, often hurting herself. She frequently vomited on the floor and soiled her bed. She hardly ate, just smoked cocaine and drank fruit juice.”

This woman seems to have wanted to die. In fact, The Bastardly reports that Anna told FHM in a 2004 interview that she was involved in so many projects that “I’m probably gonna die at 37 like Marilyn.”

Anna Nicole Smith was an addict and a negligent mother. The people surrounding her, with the exception of the help, enabled her drug use. That seems to have been at Anna’s insistence, though. She may have been out of it but she didn’t hesitate to dump Larry Birkhead when he told her not to do drugs while she was pregnant with what he assumed was his baby.

Anna’s body is now in legal limbo. It has been released from Larry Birkhead’s court ruling that it be held until February 20 pending ruling on his paternity case, but now both Anna’s mother and Howard K Stern, the executor of her estate, are fighting over burial rights.

Little Dannielynn is still under Howard K Stern and his mother and sister’s care in that squatter estate in the Bahamas. She’s the real tragedy in the case.
