Almost everyone in Anna Nicole Smith's life should be ashamed of themselves
But they wont be because they have no souls.

People ridiculed all over the place for marrying someone so old- but what you should be asking is WHY
she felt the need to be with someone that old. Clearly she had father issues- not to mention abandonment issues
by basically her entire family. When she met Howard Marshall she was a divorced stripper with a young son that she was
taking care of by herself.

J. Howard was obsessed with Anna & wanted to marry her from the get-go. SHE said NO- refused to do so until she had made it on her own. Because of a need to prove herself to him she wound up in Playboy. From there she became a Guess? model. After a few years in the spotlight she up and married him. Immediately the bashing began. The press went insane- she was mocked on an almost daily basis.

Her mother & the rest of the family led the charge on that. They were destroying her by selling stories to the tabloids,going on tv shows talking shit... They behaved like complete vultures.

After J. Howard died, his son E. Pierce Marshall stepped forward and began fighting her with a vengeance bordering on insanity. This went on for TEN YEARS.

In the meantime Anna continued to raise her son, Daniel Wayne. I have not come across one person yet who says that she was anything less than a loving, devoted mother to that child. She poured every ounce of herself into raising him- not to mention all the love that she had. Clearly it wasn't "safe" for her to love other people- EVERY PERSON SHE HAD CARED FOR SUED HER or sold lies about her.


Does it really surprise you that she was doing drugs? I can't imagine the type of life that poor woman had to live.
Rejected and ridiculed by her family, abandoned by her sons father, sued by her husbands son, attacked by the press, mocked by strangers who sat in judgment.

The Marshall family had many judgments issued against them, yet the fighting continued. Pierce refused to give "that trash" (his words) any money. Say what you will about her marrying a much older man, but, think about this. HE chose to marry her, too.

In the final chapter of her life, Anna lost the only person she had ever really been able to love & trust. Place that up against what was supposed to be the joyous arrival of her daughter & I would say you had a cocktail for PPD in a BIG way. Sure, Howard K. Stern was a fixture in her life for the last ten years, but, he wasn't her son.


Lets think about what else was going on these last five months in her life. Larry Jerkhead was on EVERY tv entertainment show boo hooing about wanting a paternity test. He was posting things on his web site, tape recording conversations he had with her, selling photos of the 2 of them together, talking to the tabloids. When he invited a film crew to Toys R Us in Times Square to get him buying toys for Dannielynn I wanted to puke. Once again here was ANOTHER person who was stabbing her in the back. The baby may be his, but I really can't work up sympathy for him. He is a snake in the grass who exploited her for his own gain... just like so many before him. Also her mom was going on shows calling her a loser and mocking her. Gee, what a mom. Anna AND Daniel had both denounced Vergie more than a decade ago.

She's not even been dead for a week and the vultures are everywhere. Her mom wants custody of the baby- Birkhead wants custody of the baby- Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband called a Press Conference to call her a whore and say he might want the baby. Rumors are flying around that the baby was actually Daniel's. Larry Birkhead has put something on his web site talking about how nothing could destroy their relationship... what a joke. Her step sister was in the midst of writing a book & she claims the baby is J. Howard Marshalls.

Here is an excerpt from the book: "That's my sister for you. That b---h probably doesn't even know who the father is. Soon she'll probably say it's J. Howard's," Hogan wrote.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/496321p-418242c.html

Hogan could not be reached for comment yesterday, but in an interview with "Inside Edition" she said, "I don't want people to talk about the crazy stuff. ... I want them to remember her for being full of life."

Gee, what a hypocrite. She writes a book titled TRAIN WRECK and basically destroys her sister, but, now that she's dead.... She wants people to remember her for being full of life. I call bullshit. These people are all miserable human beings. Can you imagine what it was like to be surrounded by that?

The only person who is showing ANY class at this point is Howard K. Stern. At least he is keeping his frigging mouth shut.
He seems to be the only one grieving.


I think she really died the day Daniel did. Her world was so much smaller than many of ours. Most of us are fortunate enough to have a support system & the love of several people. She had one. It must have been terrifying to be feeling the grief that she was feeling mixed with the guilt of not being able to fully celebrate the arrival of her daughter.

I hope that she has finally found peace. Certainly she is with her son again who clearly meant the world to her.
Yet it must be quite sad to see that even in death almost no one who had been in her life had any sense of loyalty or honor.
Clearly no one who let her down has learned anything- they now seemed hell bent on continuing the cycle with Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern...

It's a fucking tragedy.

1. Just found this on TMZ.com
Make that EVERYONE in her life should be ashamed- not just almost everyone.



TMZ has obtained a photo of the inside of Anna Nicole Smith's refrigerator taken after she died, and the contents are shocking on several levels.

12. Just for the record.
CNN reported these photos to be of the inside of Anna Nicole Smith's refrigerator in the Bahamas.

2. Liz...I feel a need to show this information to some folks on another (non-political) site.
Would you be okay if I copied this post, or would you prefer I paraphrase?

3. Complete vultures is right, Liz
People have put Anna Nicole down so many times, but in truth, the vultures around her are the ones who acted badly. She was somewhat naive, she was vulnerable, and unfortunately, except for her son and Marshall, no one much seemed to care about HER; they only cared about what they could get from her.

:grr:

5. Be prepared for the shitstorm that is about to start
I honestly do not know what he could have been thinking when he agreed to this?


http://etonline.com/blog/mark/38756/index.html

The next time I was supposed to see HOWARD K. STERN was at his wedding to ANNA NICOLE SMITH in two weeks -- a celebration. Instead, I find myself with him sharing one of the darkest moments of his life. On our flight from Florida, where Anna still lies in a cold medical examiner's office, to the Bahamas, our thoughts are on Anna and little baby DANNIELYNN, who we are rushing to see for the first time since her mother's sudden and shocking death on Thursday.

6. I know very little about Anna Nicole, but since her death I've heard almost nothing
favorable about Howard K. Stern. Birkhead may be an ass, but he's entitled to his DNA test. And if he's the child's father, he's entitled to custody and full guardianship of the baby and whatever assets she may have.

7. He may not be "entitled" to custody - that would be for the court to decide now.

9. Yes, the legal channels would have to be followed. But, given any
verified proof that he's incompetant/unfit, it's hard to imagine that he could be prevented from getting custody of his own child. The wild-card here may be her Bahamian citizenship, and if the rules in that country could somehow trump his paternity.

10. I believe that Anna and Howard had their reasons for going to the Bahamas.
And that the baby was one of them.

13. I saw that theory floated here after her death, and there may very
well be some truth to that. I guess only time will tell, meanwhile I feel sorry for that poor little girl.

15. I've thought it ever since it came out that there was a paternity question -
There was some reason they wanted her to be born there, some reason that they kept private.

8. I agree with you about everything but the new daughter.
Larry Birkhead (and/or Zsa Zsa's husband) are entitled to know whether they are the biological fathers.

Stern could have helped everything, if he had just had the test to confirm or deny paternity.

14. everyone should be ashamed including Anna
She was used, no question about it, but how old do you have to be before you take responsibility for your own actions? You can't spend your entire life pointing the finger of blame for everything wrong in your life at everyone else.

She was a pathetic creature who wanted and got the fast life.

16. Anna should be ashamed? Unfortunately, she's gone now and can't feel anything.

17. duh..but she wasn't ashamed when she was alive now, was she
Sorry, can't get too invested in all of this. Like I said, there comes a point in everyone's life where they have to stop playing the role of victim and start taking responsibility for themselves and their children. Maybe if she had, her son would still be alive as well.

18. We don't know if she felt ashamed or not, do we?
"Duh."

"Maybe if she had , her son would still be alive as well."

I don't even know where to begin with that.

20. I tend to agree with you here. I even admit to a begrudging respect for her.
Dealt a crappy hand with no innate wiles to deal with it, she survived and at least appeared reasonably happy. I wish her peace and a joyous reunion (I believe in that sort of thing) with her son.

The rest must be welcome for her.
