Howard K. Stern Opens Up to Larry King

Click to return to TMZ.comAnna Nicole Smith's estate lawyer and onetime lover, Howard K. Stern, appeared on "Larry King Live" last night, talking about the constant controversy surrounding his life -- and Smith's death in a Florida hotel last February at age 39.

A somber Stern answered King's questions regarding the loss of Anna Nicole, inheritance, prescription drug use and Rita Cosby's claim of a sexual relationship between Howard and Larry Birkhead -- which he patently denied.

Virgie Arthur, Anna's mother, has filed a libel and defamation lawsuit against Stern in a Texas court.

1. STAY STRONG HOWARD! Truth will prevail! R.C and gang are going down.

2.
Earth, so big and round.
With her cheap poetry she does astound.
Your gloating is at best
A cheap shot that needs to be put to rest
Or your typing fingers should be bound


She belittles and scorns.
With her dark heart, all shriveled and torn.
You can’t listen to truth
Even when confronted with all the proof
You are hurting a child that has just been born


You should put your words to good use.
Instead of lines filled with abuse
A tragic accident
A story written so bent
Antinoids are losing and so obtuse

3. I feel sorry for the guy, I know that is not a popular opinion but I do. I hope he wins cant stand Rita Cosby how low to try to make money off of someones death.

4. He answered all the questions truthfully. Rita is going down and I hope OQ and rest of the gang goes with her.

6. As usual TMZ cut this tape for its own purpose to cast Howard Stern in a bad light. You should have played parts of the interview yesterday including the tapes they played of Rita Cosby down in the Bahamas making a jerk out of herself and getting caught in this lie.

7. Howard Stern has good reason to sue,, You should not be able to write false accusations in a book for profit . I dont feel all that bad for him though because he really is just getting paid back for taking advantage of Anna for all the time he did . He should feel a bit responsible for her death .. He did hand her the pills she was taking . He is not an innocent man ,,he was always looking for a way to benefit from her. He took a picture of her with her dead son ,,why would he do that ? He knew that pic would be worth millions ,,,someone stole that pic from him ,and now he is just bitter. He should know what goes around comes around .

8. IN THE KNOW
Anna Nicole Smith Tapes Unveiled
April 30, 2007 @ 2:26 pm
Tags: Anna Nicole Smith, Virgie Arthur

New ANNA NICOLE SMITH audio tapes have been unearthed featuring the blonde bombshell talking about her alleged childhood sex abuse and sex with geriatric sugar daddy J. HOWARD MARSHALL.

Entertainment journalist JOYCE WAGNER conducted extensive interviews with Smith in 1996 right after she checked out of rehab at the Betty Ford Center. The former bombshell was bloated and bankrupt and looking to score a book deal to get her life back on track.

Smith alleges that her mother, VIRGIE ARTHUR, a former deputy sheriff, beat her with a nightstick when she ran away in seventh grade. She also claims that she was sexually abused. Wagner is shopping the tapes around to publishers this week but is saving the sordid sex abuse details explaining, “I don’t want to talk about that now. But this book will explain a lot.”
The former Playboy Playmate also says she bonked her billionaire hubby on a regular basis saying, “We had sex a lot. He could not exactly satisfy me, which is to be expected. But he was very satisfied himself. That’s really all that mattered to me. He satisfied me in other ways.” (Nothin’ says lovin’ like a Black American Express…).

The book project eventually fell through, but Wagner tells the New York Daily News she is now ‘morally compelled to put her words out there” after the beating Anna’s reputation is taking in the media.

*********************************************************

So is Virgie gonna sue Joyce Wagner too?

9. Howard Stern on Larry King last night ...showed his love & true friendship for Anna & Danni-Lynn.....(at least she had 1 honest human around her)
with class...he showed his strength........by showing no verbal bitterness towards
those rotten sad excuses for humans (the lawyer Quinn,mamma Vergie. RC & various so called best friends.....creepy money & fame hungry cast of miserable human beings....who would ride Anna's back even in death....let alone ...the cost to Dani Lynn....when she grows older......Did you see that ...old cow (mamma Vergie)soaking up the spotlight at RC's book premier.....Pathetic group........ best of luck to you Howard .......Anna's memory is in good hands with you..................

12. I watched and it was obvious that Anna was the love of his life. I hope he wins in the lawsuit against Rita Cosby. He deserves 60 million for the Bull S**t he has had to deal with. Stay Strong Howard!!

14. Jewel, if you seen the whole show last night, he explained about taking a photo of her son (obviously you did not!) He said that she was the one who told him to take it just for her own purposes to get her to leave the hospital because she did not believe he was dead.

15. I don't really like Howard much. But I do believe that Anna was a prescription drug addict and that it was her doctors who should have made sure she got help. Rita Crosby is a liar. Now she wants to talke to the nannies...Why didn't she talk to them before she wrote the book?? Because, yes, she knew they would tell her that the story about Howard and Larry being lovers and them seeing a video of it was not true. She wouldn't have sold her book if she would have talked to the nannies first. I don't think Rita Crosby has a leg to stand on now. She is shameful. None of us are sure that Howard had anything to do with Anna's death. We are only speculating. None of us was there. It does seem like Anna liked Howard very much and yes, he was the only person who would put up with Anna's crap. You can tell that by watching re-run's of the Anna Nicole show. Daniel may be dead more because of Anna than because of Howard. Anna should have been able to get off of those drugs. If she would not have had all the drugs Daniel may not be dead now. Jackie Hatten seems to lie a lot. She showed no proof that she was Daniel's godmother and she did not show any proof that she was Dannylynn god mother. Rita, Vergie, O'Quinn, and Opri are in on dealing with untruths. As much as I dislike Howard, I can see this. Vergie failed as a mother to Anna. Anna did dislike her mother. You would think that Vergie would watch that Video of Anna telling the whole world that she hated her mother and then that Vergie would just go home and take care of her other grandchildren. Anna said she did not want her mother near her baby. Even a drug addict would not be able to be forced to say those kinds of things about their mother, unless they hatred her very much. Anna had to live with her aunt when she was young because Vergie could not handle her. Vergie could not take care of Dannielynn, therefore, Vergie should quit being a trouble maker and leave it alone. Dannylynn has her father. Vergie is a trouble maker and I can see why Anna wanted nothing to do with her.
