Anna Nicole's Bodyguard Suffers Heart Attack

Posted Oct 18th 2007 4:40PM by TMZ Staff

Big Moe -- Anna Nicole Smith's longtime bodyguard -- has suffered a heart attack and stroke, according to the National Enquirer. Moe is the one who dialed 911 after his wife found Anna unconscious on the floor of her Hard Rock Hotel room on the day she died.

As the Enquirer reports, Maurice Brighthaupt, 38, recently had a "mild heart attack and stroke," say his doctors, and a source tells the tab that Moe's "blood pressure is still sky high" and that the saga of Anna's death and its aftermath is "destroying him."

Big Moe worked for Anna for four years, and was a pallbearer at her funeral.

31. maybe HK$ mixed up one of his special Wendy's milkshakes for him

amazing how things start HAPPENING to people who believe HK$ had anything to do with Anna's death.

just remember Howie ------- DANIEL KNEW AND SAW who you really were and you will never be able to get any peace from what you did. Daniel saw you pimp out Anna as a prostitute the last years of her life -- all the money that changed hands from all those men before they met with her -- and of course you taped all of those sexual acts to blackmail any of those men from coming forward now. You know what you did and so did Daniel. May he rest in peace. Peace, on the other hand, is something you will never know.

33. Geeze, and this just before he was to be on TV tonight!
Seriously, I do hope he gets better. I think he needs to come clean on all that really did happen the day ANS died. There is more to ANS death than has come out, and Moe does hold the key to the truth.
Moe really should have told his wife to call 911 immediately. Actually, his wife, Tas, should have known better than to call ANYONE other than 911 FIRST. Then she could have called Moe. She, as a medical professional, had an obligation to get help as quickly as possible.
This is just my own opinion.......no need to come after me on this one!

35. Typical Sternoids....all you Sternoids, plucking at the man Moe who just suffered a heart attack and stroke....and all you can do is talk about the pictures.

STern took pictures of a dead boy Daniel and you are outraged that it got out. Moe never spoke of it, Ford Shelley did!!!

You are disgusting vultures, flying over anything that you can defile in the name of Stern. Get off this site and stick to the warrant site.

My prayers are with Moe at this time.

36.
While recuperating at his Florida home from his heart attack and stroke, Moe was rushed to a hospital again on October 13 because he was "overcome with chest pains," says the source. He was released under a doctor's care.

=============================================
Did he come out and talk to the media after this heart attack and stroke? Wasn’t his last media appearance after this health problem?

37. It must have been a very mild heart attack and stroke, he was on Access Hollywood last night and looked fine, unless that was an old interview.

I wonder if something might soon happen to RITA as well?

You got something on everybody -- you made sure of that -- tried to blackmail and control every person who could possibly turn on you and expose you. You lured the men in with sex with Anna to get the money -- taped them having sex to get your blackmail in place -- then you would drug Anna up so she wouldn't know you were funneling all that cash offshore -- the same money now that you are using for your big defense team.

You got lazy on your cover up and I bet you never knew that LOGICAL MINDS ALWAYS FIGURE IT OUT in the end.

40. Prayers are with Moe.

I am sure everyone involved in this story is emotionally and physically sick over all the stress of this story.

One day maybe it will end and they can all go back to a peaceful life.

43. Anna Nicole was a CIA agent. Big Moe knew too much and had to be taken out.

44. So he had a heart attack on October 13? Well, obviously he wasn't too sick not to do his interview with Tony Potthole.

Posted at 5:47PM on Oct 18th 2007 by Jesse

45. Heed whatever Moe says after this near death experience...
I wonder when the Pott's interview was taped.

Someone has the audacity to brag that a hex has been placed on Moe? You give yourself and your master too much credit.

best wishes to Moe and Taz...
