601. I don't know about people taking advantage of Anna. But Anna certainly tried to take advantage of a lot of people. As for Ford Shelly/G. Ben Thompson buying the house in the Bahamas in order to give Anna residence. Let's face it no one gives anyone a house for $950,000 for 1 or 2 jumps in the hay. They may have bought it for investment. Anna was suppose to pay them back for it. She never paid one cent. She was well aware of that, because her e-mails to them keep saying I will pay you as soon as I can. But then she tried to say that it was a gift. It is Anna who is the dishonest person here. It is Anna who was trying to take advanatage of them in the end. She complained that people were trying to take advantage of her, but the only person taking advantage was Howard. Why did Anna believe that everyone should give her everything?? She was a nearly 40 year old ex-cover girl. The last years of her life were shows and videos which made her look bad and certainly didn't make her look like a cover-girl. Maybe her drug addiction got worse because she was using drugs to lose weight/or Howard was giving them to her so that she would lose weight. It really doesn't matter what Anna wanted about the baby, because Anna was an unfit mother and so she should have no say about what she wanted for the baby. She put the baby at risk, therefore, she had no right to make any suggestions. If Anna would have been a "regular" person the Child Protection Agency would have taken that child from the hosptial. She just went around and tried to accuse rich men that they were the baby. Larry didn't have enough money for her.

604. Yes I do think that G Ben would make Anna think that the house was a gift just for a few
"jumps in the hay". She was an extraordinarilly beautiful woman and used to be given expensive gifts. She wasn't just the girl next door. G Ben is a shrewd business man and didn't fill out the usual forms when he gifted her with the house because he knew that he could turn on her and get the house back as soon as he wanted to. I can understand her feeling betrayed yet again when he suddenly started telling her he wanted the MONEY. He had already had the FUN. That's not the worst of what he and Ford Shelly did, though. They took the most precious legacy from Dannielynn when they stole the pictures that Anna painted for her nursery. That child will have money and many possessions during her lifetime, but the paintings that her mother did for her out of love before she was even born are irreplaceable. They were stolen and will be sold and end up on some collector's wall. Dannielynn would have been able to look at them and have tangible proof of her mother's love. To me those men are reprehensible. ANS was not just a washed up cover girl. She had a career as a spokesperson for an international corporation and was successful at it. She was not just a drugged out addict. People who knew her well (which by the way, you and I didn't) said that she was kind and funny and compassionate and loved animals. She ate and slept just like everybody else and loved fried chicken and was a wonderful cook. Her friends said they loved to be invited to her house for a meal because she was such a great cook. She had just discovered that she had a talent for painting and took the time to paint pictures for her little daughter's nursery. If she was drugged out all the time, when did she find the time or inclination to do any of those things? She was a person, for god's sake who loved and could be hurt and was fooled so many times by people that she thought were her friends helping her and then turned on her that she didn't trust people at all any more. She trusted HKS and he is still trying to carry out her wishes. In fact, he is the ONLY one. He is not evil or the devil. He is just a man who loved her too much and is now suffering for it. His reputation is in shreds because of all the lies and speculations that the news media and public are indulging themselves in. And the sin of it all is they are chortling and laughing about it while they sit there all sanctimonious and pretend that they really care about what happened to ANS and Daniel and what will become of Dannielynn. They are just today's news to them and tomorrow will be something else. HKS did not hurt Daniel or ANS or make any money off them. He didn't need a fortune to be happy; all he needed was to be with Anna. He loved them. They were his family and I hope that someday he will find some happiness. He certainly hasn't had much up til nowl

608. ANNA F. There are already "supposed" paintings done by anna nicole on ebay. That whole situation is sad, whoever has stolen those paintings should be prosecuted

Posted at 11:13PM on Mar 25th 2007 by lee

609. Yep by Lee you are right there it is all about money and control and poor old Anna was controled by HKS if yo watch tv at all you will hear her so called friends and people close to her even her own son before his death say this was going on but therefore she let hem control her and it will probaly never be proved that he had anything to do with her death but he is the one that has to live with that and those dr that perscribed them As for the house I dont know about the Bahammas but over here if my deed has my name on it it is my house or if I die my children get everthing will or no will as next of kin as I understand Anna tore the promise note up in a drunken fit on the house over there and never signed it so I guess the house is still in Thompson name I really dont worry about the grown ups in this mess they are either after money most of them and if not they can sure take care of themselfs theyy are not babies although they are acting like children even some of the attorneys By the way I would like to apoligze for the rude remark that I mad back in refrence to yours I am not a bad person and I think that was not very nice on my part or yours but people just get on here to say their opions and we alll have them no one is alike this would be a boring world if they were LOL Maybe this mess will be straighted out soon I sure hope so
