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."

61. Sounds like someone wants to get paid for a tell all on ET.

62. The baby looks fat, happy and healthy to me, just like a baby should.

63. I am telling you people will say anything just to be a part of all this. Everyone has seen the baby on tv and she looked healthy then. I am sure anna might not have been the best mother right after the baby was born, but hello she had just lost her son. people are just coming out of know with all these made up stories. it is really sad she couldnt get any peace when she was alive and its even worse now that she is gone. i think howard just pack up the baby and run far away never to be seen again....to hell with all these gold diggin fools claiming to care. he has been with her forever and truly cared for her and daniel, so take the baby and go!!

64. I've never posted on this site but read it frequently. I think TMZ is simply doing a bettter job of investigative reporting than most of the other outlets.

They obviously searched court records in Bahamas, something other media oulet's reporters failed to think of.

That being said, how stupid are some of you that you don't quite grasp that this document was filed in court 2 months BEFORE ANS died? Obviously this woman was filing some sort of wrongful dismissal lawsuit. Whether her statements are true, I'm sure will be debated. I tend to believe it. But no one paid anyone off to come forward now to drag ANS through the mud. Again, this document was filed TWO MONTHS BEFORE SHE DIED PEOPLE. And is it really that much of a stretch of the imagination, knowing what we know about ANS through the years, to believe this nanny? The attempted suicide by drownin has already been colaborated, the Minister's relationship, has been colaborated somewhet through the photos that were released yesterday. No, they don't show them having sex but you can't deny they show a certain level of initimacy with them. The drugs she speaks of, c'mon we all knew she was zonked 24/7. And she was obsessed with her weight, so why wouldn't she transfer that obsession to her daughter in her deluded state?

65. Anyone could have typed up that document on their own computer. I do not believe that the affidavit is authentic.

Looking at pictures of the baby is proof enough that the child is not "underdeveloped" for her age.

This is getting beyond ridiculous!

66. This item is ridiculous all you have to do is look at the baby to see it has been fed properly.....I believe you people are paying people to le, or at the very least, looking the other way, and printing things you know are most likely not the truth...shame on you....

68. Just a question for everyone who keeps saying that Howard is to blame for ANS's death....

Why on Earth would he want her dead? She was worth more to him alive in my opinion. Now that Anna is dead, he is going to lose the baby AND the money...the child is OBVIOUSLY not his---with Dannilynn being Anna's sole living heir, whoever gets the baby gets the money. Howard won't be getting either.

A paternity test will prove that the baby isn't his---if Anna was alive, he would have access to her money as he has for over 10 years now!

69. Anna was on drugs and had issues. When you're all messed up all the time, who knows what will come out of your mouth. She was mourning the loss of her son. I don't care who you are, you shouldn't have to bury your own child. So you take that massive loss and add it to the drugs she was taking...and here we are...

70. What the F???? I am telling yall just as sure as I am from the South, by the end of the week, another man will come forward and one of her "inner circle" or "family " will give an exclusive to either ET or the Insider. My God, just let her rest in peace.
As for this nanny, she can go pound sand.

71. This accusation is obviously over exaggerated to appeal to the claims of Quethlie Alexis. When previous employees become disgruntled, they will push the facts as far as they possibly can.
I absolutely do not believe any insinuation of an affair with Shane Gibson.
In regard to the baby, one can clearly see she is healthy looking.

72. I can see how something like this would surface now, with everyone digging everywhere any info on ANS might be. It makes sense with someone with such weight issues of her own, that she would try to keep her baby on the light side.

I would imagine that ANS knew about this for several weeks and could have eased off on the underfeeding the baby so if anyone came to check the baby out, it wouldn't look so bad. If the nanny supplied pics of the underweight baby to authorities, it would have been/be more convincing and who knows, maybe there are some, somewhere. That may have been difficult if ANS was hawkeying the nanny, but then again, I would think during that shift and considering ANS's drug problem, there may have been ample opportunity.

The trainwrecks just keep coming. I hope that the baby ends up with her real father and somehow he will be able to raise her with love and minus all the drama and trainwrecks.

73. A woman willing to file a legal document stating her experience's with Anna Nicole and that infant need to be taken very seriously. This isn't for attention, it's a court filed document made months before Anna's death. It's not too far fetched to believe that a woman obsessed with her appearance and weight, that is mentally unstable, would make outlandish requests of a nanny. You can't observe a childs mental development in a photo and that is what will be impaired with this baby, not just her size. This child doesn't stand a chance.
