Nanny: Anna Underfed Baby to Make Her "Sexy"

Posted Feb 14th 2007 1:06PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained an explosive legal document written by Anna Nicole Smith's former nanny, which contains shocking accusations about her former boss, including suicide attempts, sex romps, and a claim that Smith dangerously starved Dannielynn because "She wanted her baby to be 'sexy'."
Read affidavit
According to the sworn affidavit written in the Bahamas on December 4, 2006, Quethlie Alexis claims she received repeated threats from Smith, aka Vickie Marshall, to "underfeed" Dannielynn because, "Ms. Marshall was obsessed with making sure that her baby was 'sexy.' Ms. Marshall knew that the correct amount of baby food was 3 ounces every 3 hours ... Ms. Marshall insisted that the maximum I was to give was 2.5 ounces." Alexis claims that Smith enforced the order by "making sure the baby monitor was kept on all the time." Alexis adds Dannielynn "is badly underweight and not thriving, as a baby should."

According to the document, Alexis says that Smith threatened to "shoot her" if the baby ever addressed the nanny as "Mummy."

In the document, Alexis also claims that during her brief employment, Smith "attempted to commit suicide" on two separate occasions. "On the first occasion, she drank in my presence an entire bottle of what I believed to be a sleeping aid." Alexis claims that when Smith woke up from the resulting 48-hour coma, she blurted out the words "I wanted to die ... I meant to kill myself."

According to the documents, Alexis claims that Smith also "tried to drown herself" in her swimming pool. Alexis claims that Howard K. Stern rescued Smith from the pool. Alexis claims she heard Stern say to Smith after the rescue, "If anything happens to you, I would go to jail."

The document also describes the "flagrant sexual relationship" between Smith and the Bahamian Minister of Immigration, Shane Gibson. According to the affidavit, Alexis never witnessed Gibson and Smith having sex, but the former nanny claims the minister would, "spend hours alone with Ms. Marshall in her bedroom" on a "daily basis."

1. Of all the stories that have come out so far regarding Anna, this one I really find hard to believe.

2. Clearly the lady is a liar. We've all seen the baby on ET. She looks like a healthy happy baby. What a stupid woman.

3. What people will do for money and publicity these days! Anna Has passed away we all know/ But let this woman rest im peace! AND LEAVE DANNIELYNN alone. The poor little girl already has so much to deal with! I cannot believe TMZ would go out of there way to publish such horrifying information about anyone especially after she is gone! I am new to this website and will never return again! I feel so sorry for Dannielynn as someday she will have to deal with such horrible accusations about her mother!

6. Saw pics of the baby on ET last night and did not think she looked underweight. I can believe the part about the suicide attempts. I do not think that she had an affair with Shane Gibson. I am sure this is just one of many former employees to come forward. Most of them are probably holding some sort of grudge and are looking for a way to "stick it" to AN.

Is there any limit to the depravity of ANS?

8. And did anyone notice that this affidavit was filed on 12/6/06? Anyone calling this lady a liar who is profiting off of anna's death really needs to ask themselves how there was to be profit on 12/6 of last year.

9. Why the hell didn't she report this to the police or child welfare??????? All these people coming out of the woodwork now saying they heard, knew, or saw this or that, what the hell is that gonna help now? She's dead. People speak up WHEN something is going on, when something can be stopped or prevented. And you people call yourselves nannies,friends, loved ones. Puhleeze. Damn, the only sane person in all of this is little Dannielynn!!! LOL

10. Starting to question TMZ's credibilty...Documents just popping up all over the place within minutes of each other?? Wierd and unjustified...This is starting to look as thought TMZ was digging somewhere they shouldn't have been (like in Smith's home)...All of a sudden confidential information, documents and interviews are surfacing, TMZ, did you notify the attorney's of this new found information, you know you are the FIRST to report these things on this story??? Nothing of the sort posted on credible media outlets (CNN, MSN, Headline News, etc.)

12. Um, are you serious? All of the freaks are coming out of the woodwork. Looks like they know the gravy spoon is gone , so now they have to make money somehow.

Howard K. Stern is not the only leach in her life....

13. if this is all true then ans would have died sooner or later anyhow at least now that baby is safe. ans son was already addicted to methadone and lost his life why should another child suffer for ans mistakes.

just because she died does not mean she was a good person. the baby was left in another country when ans died. even hks was nowhere near the baby.

this all so sad.

15. Damn, this could've been the "Mommie Dearest" for this generation!

As for Howard, I'm constantly reminded of Parker Posey in Scream 3 saying "Oh c'mon, you have made millions off the story of her murder. You're obsessed with her, and you're obsessed with her daughter!". Ha Ha Cracks me up, put in the dvd and check it out! lol
