Anna's Assistant: Howard Didn't Kill Her

After being MIA for two weeks, Kim Walther, Anna Nicole Smith's friend and former assistant was found, and has finally spoken out about Anna's death.

In an interview with "Entertainment Tonight," Walther shot down rumors that Howard K. Stern murdered Smith and her son Daniel, saying "It's not possible, Howard would never, ever do anything to hurt Daniel or Anna ... I really wish people would leave them alone."

Walther also says she witnessed Anna and Howard "being intimate" with each other, and knew Smith was hooked on prescription drugs including methadone, saying, "For the most part she could handle it ... there are times where it was clear she didn't handle it as well."

3001. If you have seen Anna Nicole's show there is no way you could say they were not a couple and he did not love her.I myself have been addicted to pain meds because of a serious injury and my husband as much as he loves could not stop me from taking any medications. I think your spouse or boyfriend can feel helpless about your pain and might bitch about it but not actually do anything.As for daniel my son is 16 and a honor student and I know for a fact that no parent can say for sure their kid has not tried drugs and at any time Daniel could of himself got into pills.People should leave Howard alone and he is the only one that has really loved her.

3002. Personally it sound like a love hate relationship. She said on this same interview that when she was having her baby she cried out for her mom. Two months later she was disowning her. Who knows, two years down the road they could have gotten together. Anna's lover of three years said she was taking drugs as early as 1991 when she was dancing. I believe Virgie trying to be a mother is what strained the relationship. Sometimes good intentions aren't enough. As my 33 year old daugther puts it, I'm not 15 years old anymore.

HKS didn't stand up and speak out at that funeral for Anna, he did it for himself. Those applauding have no choice but to do so because they too are folks that watch and ignored. They ignored what was going on in front them because it was best for them not for Anna. I think the baby should go to the person who can get her the furthest away from these characters. Even if it takes paying them off to do so.

3003. I'm with you Paula! You can't stop people from doing drugs or doing anything that they want to do. All you can do is love them and support them. If you do they will trust you and lean on you when they are ready to.

When Anna calls out for her mom, she's not calling out for Vergie. She's calling out for the mother she wishes she had. We all want a mom. It's to bad her's was such a "B"

3004. Howard K. Stern is the best thing that ever happened to her, she never would have lived as long as she did, without all his caring and help with her problems. Her son loved him, he was the only decent male figure that boy had to look up to. Anna named him the father of her baby, because she knew he was the only loving father this child would ever have. No matter what the DNA says, Anna wanted Howard to be her child's father, and that is the way it should stand. No one pulled the wool over Anna's eyes, she was in control of her life and lived it the way she wanteed, with no one telling her what to do. Bless Howard K. Stern, trying your best to take care of someone you care about, who is as self destructive as she was, couldn't have been easy!! Shame on all you people who point your finger at him and try to blame him for this mess. It would be a far bigger mess had he not been there. She wouldn't have been floating financially or anything else had he not been working deals for her. You think he didn't earn his keep, HUH!, She couldn't have paid him enough, if you ask me. I'm an Anna Nicole Fan, and I for one am thankful Howard K. Stern was there for her.

3005. Edie, get a life. You haven't answered the question asked of you. You state that you don't care if Millstein is gay or not, but he should not be representing an infant. Please let us know why? Who cares if he is gay? Sounds like he does a lot more for society than you, a homophobic who needs to get a life.

Anyone can make up their own web site, so who know if Kim's "site" that has been pulled up is actually her own and truly expresses her views.

3006. Lynda..think as you will I saw the video and the words RAPE from Anna's mouth, on the video...I dont go around making up shit like everyone else...it's not my style...that's why I get pissed when others do, it's wrong.......
I would only say it if I saw it...you dont know me..but others on TMZ do..... I rarely speak any Fact's, or truth's..... ..unless I know them.. mostly I'm opinionated....that's the way I play...so let it go..watch the video until you see her say it...hows that..??
.I didnt see Howard tell her to say...(input) anything...he was babbling in the background.....So you're telling me....that he told her to say she was raped by her dad??? Sorry not buying it....goodbye please

3007. What sad about all of this is ANS died. Someone said "she wasn't a president, she wasn't a queen...I don't understand all the attention because she didn't do anything important." Apparently she did. Plenty of us were glued to the T.V. to watch the antics of this woman and her daily life. We watched the relationship with her son and friends along with the many people who came in and out of her life during her show. She motivated plenty of women to pop a little pill in order to fill beautiful again and she provided us, at the expense of herself...entertainment. I'm sorry that people think that she was not important...that she didn't do anything great, but honestly, she died...at a very early age...that is sad within itself. She has left behind a small daughter that will never know what her mother did in order for her to live a very rich life. Fighting an entire family for a fortune (we women will fight our ex husbands for much less than she was) that she would never see...based on principal...that takes guts and integrity. Was she a gold digger or was she fighting for what was hers? The fact remains, she was a woman, a person, a mother and in some aspects...a celebrity...and just like anyone else, she deserves to pass...pass on to the next life...allow her fans, loved ones and others to grieve...the loss of someone that was important to them.

3008. The latest developments in the case are as follows: the court viewed several videos of Anna, shot by 'Entertainment Tonight', that were never aired, Stern admitted that he is broke and that he lived off Anna's money, Birkhead claimed he repeatedly tried to rescue the former model from herself and from Stern, her mother stated that it was Stern who tore their relationship and set them at each other's throat.

But the most shocking moment of yesterday's hearing was none of the above (because we already knew that all these things would eventually be uttered), but a clip that had Anna saying that her father had raped her. Plus, she added, her mother knew and did nothing to put an end to the situation. 'You want to hear all the things she did to me? You want to hear all the things she let my father do to me, or my brother do to me? Or my sister? All the beatings and the whippin's and the rape? That's my mother. That's my mom!', Smith was heard saying.

3009. 3007. Why does everyone have a irrational hatred of Virgie, I really dont understand it..Seriously, because Anna said she beat her and was jealous of her?
Posted at 12:33PM on Mar 2nd 2007 by Lynda
*******
in fact this was your question you wanted to know why...all the hatred..... I have explained...more than once the reason.......and told you why I hated her mother and proved that she hated her and why.....you are fighting the truth...but it's true and you asked the question...

3010. Homegirl, The question here is are you gonna believe an entertainment news editor OR Anna Nicole? The video speaks for itself.

http://www.etonline.com/celebrities/spotlight/38782/index.html

The quote (below) ON ET who recorded the video, check it out yourself folks.

But Anna Nicole felt that all changed when her mother started talking to the media about her, following the death of her son DANIEL.

"You want to hear all the things she did to me? You want to hear all the things she let my father do to me? Or my brother do to me? Or my sister? All the beatings and the whippin's? That's my mother. That's my mom," Anna Nicole alleged to Mark.

3011. now you ask another question.....You asked why all the hate I showed you.... why everyone hates Virgie..now it's something else...now you want to know what I believe I told you what I believe..I told you what I heard and saw.....why are you still beating this.... you can believe what you want...I am entitled to do the same you can not convince me to do otherwise.

Guess what ....The same video just fucken aired 5 min ago..on Nancy Grace and I watched it again.. Anna said it...she said she was raped......WTF man....do you think Nancy Grace said it? I don't get what the hell you are trying to prove..here I know what I heard !!

3012. So sad to finally find out that all this time Kimmy has been in hiding! I been wondering where she was. I really thought that she was a true friend to ANS. Now I'm not so sure. Where was she all this time????????
Anna's mama needs to get over it, leave her in peace.
If one of my children were taken from me, I would want to be buried close to them.!!
Dannylynn I wish you all the happiness that life allows.

Please have respect for the baby.
Its not her fault that her grandmother and ANS entrouge made this into a circus.

3013. OH....okay Lynda so your etonline is more credible then all the other news channels, I sent you the article go read it ...where she SAYS something entirely different then the article you are reading and posted here..you are only quoting an article...

I have seen the video..I'll assume you have not...at this point you are calling me a liar...
go see if anyone else agrees with you...surely other's have heard and seen the video..played in fucken court ......is the courtroom credible enough for you...??? She said it I believe her ...
I hate her mother, and I'm beginning to hate you..

Did...anyone else...hear the rape come from Anna Nicole Smith's mouth???..
All parties please step forward..LMFAO here...I am so done with you lady...Lynda

Posted at 9:08PM on Mar 2nd 2007 by homegirl101

3014. Ok, lets for the sake of argument, say you are right, she said it...ok. I have not seen this tape on Nancy Grace. And lets say ET took the video and edited out the section posted on there website, I suppose in defense of Virgie? I dont know?

Its a serious charge and taken into account Anna state at the time, I dont know if its true given the context she said it in. Meaning defending herself against the charge that the drugs that killed Daniel could have come from her pocketbook or something. Ok, so some will take into account her anger at her mom going on tv and saying things about her drug use and decide accordingly how much weight to give what she says. For instance she also said she cried out for her mother over and over till her mom said what she did on tv, does that not give you an inking of whats going on here.

You have one interpretation and I have another. I dont however hate you for that. If its important for you to hate someone whose opinion differs from yours so be it.






Posted at 9:44PM on Mar 2nd 2007 by Lynda

3015. No hate to you...because of an opinion...pls...my post was not an opinion..it was Fact...you questioned it many times...I defended my post with the fact...
nothing to do with opinions...I have one you have one..we are entitled to them..I dont hate if other's disagree....You asked a question...I answered it..you said it was not true...asked if I believed everything...I was told...I explained what I saw......and heard
I wouldn't have said it or defended it..if it wasn't true........you didn't seem to get what I
was telling you ...even with the proof....you kept coming at me...No???? That's all...no hatred...it got me angry...which is the word I usually use...my apology... ...agree to disagree....Nemaste'
