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."

76. TMZ will just run anything they dont care if it is true or not...tabloid trash..if you are going to release something on another person exp. someone who is dead and cant fight back at least make sure it is true. i have seen some real messed up things on this site and some of the are so far fetched dont even sound true, but they sure as hell still run them. Poor anna cant even catch a break after she has passed...

77. I really feel terrible about the loss of Ana Nicole. She was a single mom and did all she could to make her life work. I believe she loved the people around her, including her late husband, she appreciated how much he helped and showed his love by taking care of her. Unfortunatly, some people try to make money doing very unscrupulous things. And anyone in that household could have ordered drugs using her name....and used them for any purpose....

78. Will this ever stop? Of all the pictures i've seen that baby was very healthy. And on the interviews when the baby was being fed they were full bottles. This woman is laying in a freezer and people continue to keep on and on about how bad Anna was. I don't believe any of these documents. I believe Anna did try to commit suicide. But to all the women out there, she just gave birth-how many of us have gone through stages of post partum-on top of all these body changes can you imagine waking up in your hospital room and your oldest child has just died, she's grieving over her son. Plus everything else that she was being hit with. The baby didn't look like a baby born with an addiction. For all the drugs she was suppose to have done, the baby had very good coordination. And now Anna was having an affair hours in her bedroom. Geez, when did she get the time for all these hours behind closed doors? When your "supposingly" that far gone on drugs, did she have sex for hours on hours. Thought she couldn't even stay alert that long. God, please let somebody tell the truth. As this little girl gets older and does research on her mother, imagine how she's going to feel. No, nobody cares about that. Go ahead world and keep ditching and ditching Anna, you got what you wanted, she's dead. Please live her alone.

79. I believe most of what the nanny said about Anna Nicole. I don't think the baby was underfed dramatically, but perhaps it was fed less than what she was supposed to be fed. I believe Anna was in so much despair over her son Daniel, perhaps she wasn't acting the way she normally would. I don't think Anna represented herself properly. I think the reason for this goes back into her childhood. Maybe she felt she had to act the way she did to get love and admiration. I hate it for her, and she was very beautiful, and may she rest in peace. I personally think Larry Birkhead is the father, because the facial features and nose looks the same. I personally think he would be the best role model for DannieLynn. I also think Howard K. Stern know a lot more about Anna's and Daniel's methadone use. A person has to wonder, since Anna was supposed to get Mr. Marshall's billion dollar estate, Daniel was the one to receive it if she passed. Daniel died in Sept. 06, now 5 months later, Anna is dead. Who is executor? You got it! Howard K. Stern. He claims DannieLynn is his, and her name is on the birth certificate. However, I am not accusing Howard K. Stern of anything, it just seems eerie it all happened within a certain period of time.

80. I'm getting the feeling that TMZ was the one taking all the stuff from the home. They should be investated big time. As I say it's all about the money, and TMZ is in it big time. Watch the next time they will have pictures of Anna's dead body. Could you get any lower.

81. I think there are a lot of people who always come out after a persons death and say things because they cannot defend themselves. As for the baby nanny, she was unemployed and angry I am sure. Anna Nicoles son was raised by her, granted he had problems, but I am sure he was not underfed as a child. I think she really loved her children. Also I know lots of people will disagree on two things I will say. I think she did drugs but I also think alot of her actions were an act. People expected that from her and I also hope Howard Stern gets custody and help from his family to raise Danilynn. His sister seems Ok. and if you watch TV you will see clips that it was always him holding her and warming bottles and caring for her and Anna would refer to him as Daddy to Danilynn. I think Anna truly trusted Stern.

83. Where there is smoke there is fire. Firstly TMZ is doing a great job of exposing Howard K Stern. Access Hollywood has the freak on a pedestal, but TMZ is proving he controlled Annas every move...right down to the drugs he fed her.

Howard K Stern turned Anna against Larry Birkhead, he controlled Anna...poor, dear, drug addicted Anna Nicole Smith.

Drug addicts do behave irratically. Maybe Howard lied to Anna and told her the nanny was over feeding the baby...who knows. But we do know that Anna Nicole did try to kill herself.

The affidavfit states this fact...and so does the press...so that part is true.

Just get that poor baby away from Howard K Stern and his circus of " yes men and puppets".

84. For all of you who say the baby looks healthy - maybe you should take another look. Even before hearing the concerns of the nanny, to me, she appeared very small and underdeveloped . It would be interesting to know where she falls on the norms chart that all pediatricians use to score a child's size.

86. If this former nanny's comments are true(I am not a lawyer), but it seems to me, this woman's story should be investigated, and if proven true, this former nanny should be arrested. Also, Howard K. Stern should be investigated, too. How could these 2 just stand by and let this happen????

89. At this point, it's so difficult to know what the hell happened. I will say that, where there's smoke, there's got to be fire. ANS's life was so strange, so bizarre, so filled with drama & disreputable characters & strange behaviour, that sooner or later something has to be the truth. In this case, if this allegation is true, then ANS should rot in hell forever. Absolutely unbelievable; underfeeding a baby to make it "sexy"...

90. MOST of what this woman is alleging is based the the concern for the BABY and not her mistreatment. Only the last line that she got fired from her job for something trivial. It is all about the baby and a very curious accusation about the minister which now are being released showing them in a very comprimising position. c'mon folks! READ IT! take the time and READ it and notice the date.

Idiots!
