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."

3016. I am a mother and a daughter and there had to have been something terrible that took place between that mother and daughter on Anna Nicole and her mother will know. But it did have to be something really terrible and horrific for Anna Nicole to have chose to stay away from her mother for 10 years. Does anyone remember the Keith Ablo interview that Vergie Arthur did a month before her daughter died it was nasty and mean and cruel and Vergie said all of it looking straight into the camara with a mean smiling smirk on her face as to say HA!HA ! Anna how do you like me now. I just got even with you.

3017. ~ode to Anna~
Thank you Anna Nicole Smith for helping me to realize just how fortunate that I am to be a simple woman with a simple life. I'm a stay at home Mom of 2 healthy children. I have a sweet husband who works very hard for very little pay.

We live in a little house in a little town. We drive cars that are over 10 years old. Our friends are not movie stars or company executives. We don't dine at fancy restaurants or wear expensive clothes.

What we have though...money cant buy. We have love for one another...the kind of love that doesn't care how much money you have in the bank or who you know. Our friends and our family are down to earth ... solid people ... the kind of people that you can count on to be there for you in the good times or bad.

There's nothing extraordinary about us. In fact, there are thousands, upon thousands of families just like mine. But, we wouldn't have it any other way. So thank you Anna Nicole Smith, for reminding me just how simple but ... lucky I am.
I hope that you will now find your own peace, love and comfort...which eluded you on earth.

3019. Yes, just go to utube and you can see for yourself Anna saying she was raped. I've seen/heard her say that many times, so I think I'll believe her...homegirl is right.

3020. Kimi, you need to go save your buddy Howard. I agree with you 10000000%--Howard wouldn't have killed Anna or Daniel.

3021. Homegirl101 - Regarding the "rape" comment by Anna, yes I saw that too. She appeared "high" during the interview. The rape may have happened, it may not have happened. Anna was destroyed by drugs. She could have just said anything in anger towards her family. I am not sure how believable her statement was IMO. I am just wondering why she waited all this time to state this. Could it be she was angry at her mom and just trying to hurt the family. Angry for her mom saying on Nancy Grace to be careful who she hangs with, she could be next? Also, she entrusted Virgie to be the caretaker of Daniel for several years. If that environment was so "dangerous" or whatever, why in the world would she allow her son to be there? That is what I question. I know for a fact the drug addicts are fantastic liars. I guess we will never really know.

3022. Sebastian Just curious where you get your information obviously from your own imagination. Sigh oh well everyone has an opinion even if they dont really know anything. FYI some of the world thinks Howard is actually the good guy here.

Let me also make a comment about Patty's comment that actually makes me mad but again have to realize everyone has an opinion whether right or wrong. Known cases of child abuse an Rape 80% of all neglect to children does not even come out until they are adults. This interview was not the first time that Anna said how her mother was she stated it many times in the past actually. Alot of children that are raped and are beaten become addicts and very promiscious. NOT ALL but some.
My own opinions of course another opinion VERGIE better not get that baby as for Larry Birkheads Lawyer what a bitch she stated on Bravo that the baby was a pot of gold her words no one elses. I know Howard is probably not the Father but I wish beyond anything that he keeps Dannielynn. Again my opinion and problem many others.

3023. I was hoping that Larry Birkhead would get to raise Dannielynn but now that he's in negotiations with Howard K. Stern...it makes me think that he is just as rotten as Howard.

Maybe the child should be placed up for adoption. At least she would stand a chance at being raised in a normal loving home.

I feel bad for Vergie but, I'm afraid that she doesn't have the means or knowlege to keep the wolves away.

3024. Wys - Sorry if my post made you mad. I was giving my opinion. That was the only interview I heard regarding the "rape". Maybe she has said it before. I just don't remember seeing it. I know that a lot of rapes go unreported, and a victim is in denial. I don't disbute that. I am only questioning the timing of her saying this. Like I said, maybe it did, maybe it didn't happen. I guess we will never know. I just know that if it had happened to me, there is NO way I would have allowed my son to be taken care of by family members that would have harmed me.

3025. I tried to explain the 10 year gap in the relationship. Why 10 years? Its because it was during the Marshall case she stopped having anything to do with the family! Anna did not just decide--Oh shit, someone raped me! That would make her 29 and she couldve brought the man to trial! Anna is no shrinking violet! Come on. It was because of the Marshall case.

Her Aunt Elaine lived with her and Marshall. She, not Shelley is the woman people see accompanying Virgie. The Aunt disagreed about what Marshall wanted Anna to have after he is gone. Marshall stated in a Christmas tape---he wanted her to have everything he had given her during the marriage---she kept trying to coerce him into more, till Marshall just gave up and said "What do you want me to say?!"

The Aunt gave the tape up! Anna was told to distance herself from her family! Like there was some sort of revenge between them! Now, Im sure Stern will use the ET tape ad nauseam to dispel the Aunts claims at trial.

This is all Im trying to say, look at things in context of its surroundings, instead of just going on raw emotion.

3026. The kid given up for adoption?! Thats the most insane thing I've seen on here today.Birdhead is a party boy who doesn't make much $$.

3027. If all the footage from the ANS interview about her mom was shown, you can clearly see that see seems TOTALLY fine, until she gets to the convo about her mom, the rage builds, little by little she gets enraged by the thoughts and talking of her Mommie Dearest. I said yesterday that Vergie knows how rotten she was as a mother, I hope she is feeling it now. Thank goodness for Kimmie finally speaking, she and Howard knew Anna best, I dont care who gets paid what, cuz the ALL getting paid off. I was happy to see her at the funeral. I thought Howard took his chance to say what he needed and Anna would have loved it. I wish Howard was the daddy, but the baby looks just like Larry. I feel bad for Howard, he is NOT the enabling money hungry murder some people call him. Once Larry gets his hands on that baby, he wont let Howard be in her life..Howard is loosing everything. Good Luck Howard, and rest in peace Anna Nicole & Daniel.

3028. Some one might be suprise when it come to who the Baby dad is why does every one think larry is just because he look clean cut doesnt make it so know what i mean jelly bean

3029. Add to the list: OJ, Scott Peterson, leave or take another few dozen or a few thousand and now Howard Stern with the sophistication of a mix of prescribtion drugs. Two people likely with same cause in his presence died.He shouldn't worry about the money more like the verdict.
And about mom,she loved Vickie or (if you like Anna). She adored her grandchild. She was the only person who loved them with or without money. History has shown that you can only count on your mothers with no limits love.
