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.

46. 25. Anna Nicole's "Lawyer/Friend" Suffers Heart Attack

THIS is the head line I would rather see.


You have to have a heart for it to attack

47. Was any of Stern's cronnies any where near Moe recently? If Moe dies, I could just see the coroner's report, "lethal mixture of prescribed drugs", "accidental overdose", blah, blah, blah. Now that Daniel's inquest is coming up, I wonder who else will have health problems?

A man worried about his health will probably come through with the truth now. He is probably singing to the authorities now.

49. Moe my thoughts and prayers are with you now. The stress you have gotten from the Sterns is unbelievable. You have started to do the right thing . At first its hard , but you do know the truth and it will set you free. I really believe that you loved Anna. After her death you thought that all would go away cause Howie said so. Its not going to go away and Howard set you and Taz up to look really bad. So cooperate with the Investigation, and know you are doing the right thing now. If you put those photos of Anna out there I want to thank you for your courage to show how Anna really lived with that Man. He was never your friend or Anna's friend. He is a very sick man . You at least have a conscience

50. My thoughts are with Moe. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope there is no lasting damage.

51. Moe knows the truth, and it's killing him, just like it killed Anna. Quick Moe, spill your guts before you take a dirt nap too!

52. Godbless you Moe and keep you safe. What you are doing now will bring you peace.

53. Maybe the stress he has is from KNOWING something he isn't saying or telling. Not sure what that might be but it has to be eating away at him. He should come clean.

Moe and Taz

Wishing you a speedy recovery Moe. Taz take good care of him.

Moe, Anna and Daniel loved you and they are watching over you. They know that you always did and will always do what was right and best for them. Above all they know how much you loved and protected them. They are eternally grateful.

Now hire a good attorney to take care of this matter and to stop Howard and Woods from threatening you. Then let the attorney handle it all. Don't let them get to you Moe, they aren't worth it. Let the lawyers and the authorities handle it now. Truth and Justice will prevail.

In the meantime, relax, rest. and get well. That's what Anna really would have wanted. That's what we want. That is what is important.


Speaking for many and I am not.....

58. Does this mean Moe won't be a part of Daniel's inquest? Or was he not supposed to be to begin with???

59. GUILT IS TAKING ITS TOLL ... FESS UP, MOE, AND YOU WILL FEEL BETTER.

60. Moe is only 38 . It is unusual for such a young person to have a heart attack. with a minor stroke. In today medical world with all the new advances this should not have happen. I am sure he had symptoms and ignored them., or thought they would go away. It is really hard for some guys to admit they might be sick. Taz said on the Bio last noc that she never saw Moe so emotional when Anna died and she was having Night mares. Moe take care of yourself. Know that Howie set you and taz up and go from there he is not a good man. And standing beside him has made you ill. Sit back and write another book . Get this one published I know people will buy it. And don't take anymore calls from Howie or L. Wood. They will kill you with worry.
