Stern: Virgie Accused Me & Anna of Killing Daniel

Howard K. Stern just told the court that Anna Nicole was "really bothered" that Virgie Arthur, her mother, told the media that he or Anna had murdered Anna's son Daniel Smith. Stern is testifying with regard to Anna's relationship with her mother.

Tapes of interviews in which an emotional Anna Nicole accuses Arthur of physical abuse have been introduced in the hearing.

Stern also added that he is not a beneficiary of Anna Nicole's will.

91. # 84 Leigh, Your WELCOME!! The Facts are the Facts! At
least I know you and I think the same "SANE" way. Anna just had multi-personalities, VERY SAD, but TRUE!

92. Guilty people do not want to hang out in court. It's kinda like looking in the rear view mirror and seeing a cop.

93. Stern will look like the Geico caveman once inside his cell.

94. I can't believe that any parent who writes on this board would not understand how difficult it is to raise dysfunctional children. And when spoiled brat kids don't get their way, they hate their parents.
Anna had a relationship with her mother who took care of her son for her when she began topless dancing. Virgie loved and cared for Daniel and he loved her. It is only after Anna got into drugs and Daniel was past potty training and all the hard work that Vergie invested in raising him, that Anna took Daniel and then used him as her "friend" more than establishing a mother-son relationship. Look at how embarrassed Daniel was on Anna's reality show. How inappropriate Anna's behavior was around her own son. Sheesh. And Anna thinks HER mother was a bad parent. Oh m'god. Anna's mother called her on her addiction and probably flakey parenting and so that is what made Anna distance herself. Like a bad child, she did not want anyone to call her to be accountable for her horrid behavior. So, it's easy to make up lies about your upbringing and relatives when you are narcissistic as personality disordered people can lie so easily. And it seems to me that Anna just wanted pity, and so she turned on her mother and other relatives who were probably ashamed of Anna's trashy behavior and just wanted her to grow up and be responsible and to "get into reality". They could see that she was self-destructing. What parent wouldn't want her daughter to straighten up? And so why is her mother being treated so disrespectfully when she is not an addict, and she held down a responsible job and raised Daniel the first years of his life. Please stop and think of how you'd feel if you were trying to save your own child's life by confronting their addictions and shortcomings BECAUSE you love them...and then to have your child tell lies about you because they are crazy nuts under the influence of their drugs of choice and they love their drugs more than their relatives, so they lie to try to convince others that they were "mistreated." Yeah, sure. Can't anyone see what is going on here. Anna's mother loved her and she loved Daniel and she should be treated with the respect she deserves for calling a spade a spade. She just wanted her daughter to stop her self-destruction, and it was not her choice to distance herself from Anna. It was Anna's choice to indulge her drug habits and try to sever realationships which didn't support her habits. I think that Anna's mother is a decent person who loved her daughter and wanted to keep her alive. She spoke the truth to her daughter. Anna couldn't handle the truth...she wanted to live on the edge, and she paid the consequences of not listening to her mother who loved her enough to try to get her to wake up and realize what she was doing to herself.

95. If you people can not see the genuine rage Anna had about her mother, you are being purposly blind and only care about what YOU think. My God, it speaks for itself. Anna loved Howard, trusted Howard, and hated her mother. End of story.

96. Sim, you're not the first person I've seen say that Danny was the father and that's why they've fought DNA testing. In this case, NOTHING would surprise me anymore.

Since her daddy has been acused and it has been "alleged" that he abused Anna, she's supposedly been exposed to it. Statistics show abusees tend to abuse. I saw her last night abuse her baby by being in whatever drugged state she was at 8 months pregnant. EVERYBODY, including Howard, talks about how close they were... like best friends or brother/sister since "she had he when she was so young." Who's to say she didn't think she needed to "teach" him about sex. I'm not making any accusations, BUT... we surely have seen a few other unexpected twists and turns in this whole story.

If all those other men are tested and it's none of them, WHO would ever suggest Danny be tested?!?!?!?! For those of us who pray, we can surely add that prayer to our list... that her brother doesn't turn out to be her daddy as well.

97. I have been following the Anna Nicole Smith story from the beginning... what i would like to know is why Stern was the one to buy the burial plot for Anna Nicole's Smith son in his name.... I would also like to know why was two plots purchase by him when it was only one death.

I would like to also know.... why did Daniel die in the Bahamas and not Cali... and why so soon after the death and birth of her new daughter dannielyn... did she herself ended up dying...

I personally think Stern murdered them both... what a sick f***....

98. Its very sad that anna died after her son and birth of her daughter.I f daniel was taking meds for any reason and died than anna having taken meds too and died doesnt that clearly show people that who ever was priscribing the meds is in fact the person to talk to as to why was any of this being given.Annas mother needs to just leave all the stories and hear say stuff from the main focus thats leaving her memory at peace along with a lonely baby growing up not ever beeing able to know a beautiful human being that was in a lot of pain over the whole ordeal of her son and media gossip and post pardom obviously.Just get the whole money thing out of the picture.Life is here to short to fight about or over paper money that we all throw away anyway.

99. Anna obviously wanted to be buried next to her son. Howard is just trying to carry out these wishes. I think people need to get a clue. Anna was with Howard for years, trusted him enough to put him on the birth certificate and make him the executor of her will. Do you really think he is a liar and a gold-digger. What does he get out of it but a bunch of skeptics blaming him for a murder and taking all her so called money which she didn't even have yet.
People should really get their facts straight before condeming a man trying to carry out his good friends wishes!!!!!!!!!!

100. V. Arthur is a selfish disgusting bitch! She is clearly a control freak that could not control Anna when she was alive so the spiteful bitch has to now that she is dead. It is so obvious that Anna Nicole would want to be next to her son. Anything for those 15 minutes Virgie? I'm so sick of her crocodile tears & acting like a concerned mother, all for the cameras to see.... No wonder Anna Nicole hated her. I just hope she never gets her fat, greedy hands on Dannielynn. HKS or whoever is the father will hopefully have enough sense to keep that evil bitch away.

101. Get off the 'she was a police officer so she must have been a good mother' crap!! What about all the priests charged with child rape?? a persons job doesn't dictate what kind of parent they are going to be. A lot of domestic abuse is kept behind closed doors....

Posted at 5:09PM on Feb 20th 2007 by you heard me

102. Anna's mom just testified that Anna left home at 17 because she was getting wild with the wrong bunch of kids. She went to live with her Aunt and then dropped out of school.

Yes, kids will leave home early if they want to take a walk on the wild side and choose to not abide by the rules of the household. It happens everyday to some of the best parents around, but they have kids who are out of control.

Some kids want to grow up too fast. And it often comes back to bite them in the butt.

103. # 93 Leigh, I too agree that the Danny twist could very well be true. I have all along, though I pray not true. That is the best reason for Howard NOT to give up any DNA. If the DNA test comes back all Anna, Yikes is a understatement! I would also feel VERY Bad for Larry.

104. In arguing the Stern has ''lied'' about the length of time he and Anna have been in a "relationship". I would like to say, no one has a right to even ask that question, let alone accusing him of not being ''truthful" about it". He had two DIFFERENT types of relationships with her. One as a long time friend and her lawyer. The other, an intimate personal relationship which they considered a ''marriage''. I think Stern is being treated unfairly and that would definitely upset Anna . She obviously loved him. She also obviously had been ''looking for someone to love her" for a long time. She must have felt deeply that Stern did love her or she wouln't have wanted to marry him. Why is all this media coverage necessary? I hope stern proves to be the father of Anna's daughter, and I pray to God that the baby isn't awarded to Anna's mother. Anna seemed to HATE THE WOMAN, and with good reason.

105. AMEN CIA!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness there are a few SANE and rational folks here. I'm no parent but can so obviously see that Vergie loved her daughter and Daniel and only doing what any LOVING mother would do. Do you really think she WANTS or NEEDS all this crap at this point in her life?!?
