Virgie: I Didn't Pay for My Bahamas Flight

Anna Nicole Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, just told the court that her round-trip airplane fare for a recent trip from Houston to the Bahamas was paid for by a third party. She traveled with sister-in-law Elaine Tabor, and someone she called "a close friend" of the family, David Leigh, identified as a journalist with Splash News.

She could not identify precisely where Leigh lived in Florida, and said he did not know Daniel Smith, even though he was present at a memorial service for him in the Bahamas in January.

Arthur revealed that she receives approximately $3500 per month in pension, and that her husband makes $600 per week, upon being asked by Judge Larry Seidlin.

76. Re: Comment #34, Cathy:
You and your husband may joke around about him videotaping you -- BUT, I hope he never did so when you were wasted out of your mind, and 8 months pregnant with a painted clown face on! The slimeball behavior HK$ has shown in his enablement and control of Anna by taking advantage of her drug abuse is dispicable. And everyone who wanted to help Anna Nicole and get her off drugs was pushed away by him. I hope they investigate him for criminal actions (especially in the case of Daniel). He makes me want to throw up.

77. And I suppose that this close "family friend" that is driving her around had nothing to do with the media flying over the ME's office during the viewing that all parties knew about the night before. What a liar. Virgie needs to drag her fat @ss back to Texas and crawl back under the rock she oozed out from under.

79. SHE"S A LYING BE-ATCH!!!!! Wouldn't you think that if she cared for her daughter that she would have done what she needed to do to help her? I know my mom would have regardless of what had to be done. She's all about the $MONEY$. And for those of you who think differently, well you need to watch the court case. I've been on it all day and half of the comments that you guys are throwing out are a bunch of bullshit! Get it right before you speak.

80. I'll repeat my question:

"I'm curious -- are there any Stern supporters out there who actually believe he will be proven to be the biological father?

Please reply --"

81. How is it about the money? This woman lives in $60,000 house by todays standards that's not much. I think we should have a little more compassion for this woman she was up against Howie who lived off Anna Nicole since he met her. No I don't think she should get Mother of the year award but she is clearly hurting.

84. Why didn't she ask to use one of the judge's friend's private jets, eh? Maybe she doesn't come from the right heritage to get that royal treatment.

87. #34 Cathy i completly agree with you not only on the video but on ANS they all say she is drugged up but people this is a woman who at 26 married and 80 something year old man and then at HIS funeral wore her wedding dress? and sang a song of wind beneath my wings! She wasnt normal she did weird funny things u cant judge that video it clearly seems they are joking around and howard isnt saying that to mean he is making money off it for real. I say ANS needs to be buried by her SON a child she loved so much that when he was being put under ground lay herself on the casket and said if he was being buried she wanted to be with him! And people if HKS was sooooooo horrible anna wouldnt have been with him so many years in friendship or as boyfriend and girlfriend and trusted him with everything of hers and if he isnt the father of danielynn she certainly would not say he is on the birth certificate if she didnt want him to care for danielynn when she was alive she fought to keep the baby from larry and to keep her with howard those were her wishes people wether you agree with her wishes or not isnt the case they should be honered and thats that!!!!! *edited for typos*

88. She makes me sick! She just wants publicity. It's a known fact that she cared nothing for her daughter! On that ET interview you could tell that there is some reason or something that happened to Anna as a child that her mother was not there for her and that is the reason Anna HATED her! She just plain makes me sick! Poor Anna! Leave Virgie-you are not wanted nor needed at all in Anna's death because you were not there for her when she was living! You should be ashamed!

90. Why does no one like Vergie? I personally think HKS is worse.I mean does no one see that 2 people died while being around HKS? I dont think thats a coincidence. Why does HKS want ANS's body so badly? Im sorry but ANS was so drugged up that I dont believe anything she said about her mother. All HKS has done is ride the coattails of ANS.He is in court right now admitting he hasnt made hardly any money and has been borrowing money from his parents.If HKS is the babys father why wont he take a dna test? If someone is not wanting to take a dna test then they have something to hide.I like how its ok for HKS to profit from ANS's death but if Vergie does it shes just a horrible person.and that "will" that HKS produced is so phony.No woman would exclude her future children.
