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.

HOWARD WAS NEVER ANNA'S LOVER!.... come on, that was resolved a very long time ago.

HOWARD ought to be prosecuted and burned at the stake for his roles in the murders of Anna and her son Daniel. Keep up the pressure, Bahamas! Do not let this man kill again!

Great job last night Howard. As always the truth wins out. May Anna be able to finally rest in peace. May Rita enjoy her time in jail for writing a book of Lies.

Take care Howard and stay strong. Anna would be so proud of you Howard. I am so sorry for your loss.

20. We know that there was probably good reason that Vergie went after Anna with a nightstick. But just the same Vergie did not do a good job of raising Anna. And like Anna said..Vergie should never be able to lay her hands on Dannylynn. Anna did not want her child to have anything to do with Vergie. Vergie would NOT be a good candidate to be a parent for Dannylynn. Dannielynn has her biological father. He loves her and she loves him. Vergie is now being a big trouble maker, so I start seeing the reasons why Anna hated her mother. It wasn't Howard who spoke those words, it was Anna. If Anna would have cared for her mother drugged up or not she would not have said what she said about her mother to the whole world. Vergie can not prove that she was a good parent, because the facts are there. I do not dislike Vergie as a person. I just think she should go home and forget about the money and quit trying to make problems. I am sure that there are many,many people who would testify that Anna disliked her mother.

21. Virgie you have many supporters don't let these people get to you, keep up the good work!

22. 7. 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?

That was my exact thought when I posted this article yesterday in the other site, I also asked this how is it Howard's doing's for Anna telling of the abuse she was subjected to as a child to several people including Joyce Wagner who did the recorded interview with Anna before Howard was even in the picture.....I don't get Virgie's defamation suit at all and feel in will not go anywhere, especially if Lin Wood gets in touch with Joyce and uses her interview with Anna as evidence.

23. Is that the same Howard from The Anna Nicole Show, the same Howard we have seen over the years? I don't think so.
What an acting job he did last night. Bravo.
Keep swallowing, drinking water and trying not to blink Howard.
It's not what he said, it's what he didn't say and word play. Spin.
We are watching you How and KNOW you are lying...it'll all come out.
See you soon ;)

24. I don't know Howard if you read these or someone does for you. I must say that I have judged you wronged. I was caught up with the rest of the bloggers that you were guilty of everything. I now see that Rita's Book and the truth that is coming out from it really is troubling how the media can SPIN, TWIST AND LIE and destroy another human being. I was caught up even here on TMZ, til I realized that this was more than blogging, it was a vendata, out to get you. I along with many others (i now beleive they are from O'q's office) just trashed you all the time. I apologize, I was wrong for judging you without the facts. I wish for the truth now to come out with Rita's Book. I hope if it proves she wrote this trash just to destroy you life that you receive the $60, million and more. I also hope that all this from Texas will stopped also, it's crazy what has happened this year.

I do hope all the truth about what happened to Daniel will come out in the Inquest.

25. I want to tell my side of the story with Mr. bain.
I put my hand on his shoulder and said "DO YOU LIKE MY BODY"
That was not coming on to him.
Rita

26. Anna Nicole screamed "YOU DID THIS!" at Howard after she found Danil had been killed. Hospital staff and patients will testify this at the inquest.

Howard K. Stern waited 40 minutes after Anna began screaming at him to summon Hosipital staff.

40 mins.

Virgie Arthur accurately predicted that her daughter Vickie Lynn Smith would be next!

Larry Sue also gave Bahamian Police information that Howard was forging checks and money laundering. Will he go back on his sworn testimony he gave investigators?

Spin that Rubberhead Lin Wood! Good luck getting paid by Howard! lol

Posted at 2:05PM on Oct 11th 2007 by Howard "YOU DID THIS!" screamed Anna Nicole

27. Well the truth is the truth. I think Ms. Rita should go away quietly, she's done enough harm. I think that all of Ms. Arthurs friends here should now just stop all your cruelty. Ms. Arthur has done enough damage. STOP THE INSANITY!

29. GOOD-NESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HKS is getting as fugly as BON BON.
He lies more than she as well.

Posted at 2:16PM on Oct 11th 2007 by WOW.... Stern's are fugly

30. I wish people would get off Howard's case. I have never believed for one second he had a part in her death. It was an accident. They chose to live a particular lifestyle and with everything else there is a risk. It so clear that this man adored her and would never hurt her or do anything to maker her unhappy. I hope money hungry attention seeking Rita gets nailed for everything she owns. My heart aches for Howard who is left to go on and live without the love of his life.

Oh wow....and Vergie...that woman was not part of Anna's life or her grandson, Daniel for upteen years and suddenly she climbs out of her rock she lived in when he dies and begins to "act" like she is the worried concerned grandmother. Can we say, "the smell of money and attention?" Go home back to the cows Vergie.
