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.

121. Well i hope Moe gets better and i agree seems like ppl that know the truth on Howard DIE and Moe did say he was getting threats . i wonder if Moe knows who those other 5 search warrants will be served on? I believe that moe knows the truth about this whole Chitty mess and dont think he and Taz are going to go down for Howard . I also believe that Moe lives with a very very large amount of guilt about ANS death i bet he has said a million times since ANS died why did i listen to Howard. I believe that ANS was dead for Hours before Taz realize she was dead also . I also believe Howard set Moe & Taz up to take the fall ....like i said this is one Chitty Mess !!!!!!

124. Moe - take care of yourself. I believe your heart is in the right place. Howard will be punished. You take care of yourself - the courts and God will see to it Howard gets what
he deserves. Don't let Lin Wood or Howard try to intimidate you - they are full of crap and if they do, pull a Howard - sue their asses - both of them. Vicky and Daniel are watching - they will help make sure Howard is convicted. Have faith.

125. Moe may have been sidetracked by the female in the hotel that night. She may have been a plant to distract Moe. Then used against him. Who knows. Just a speculation. Moe seems like a great guy. I May God keep him safe!

126. 91. Lawyers with current bar membership in any state/s are considered officers of the court 24/7. Obviously, there's at least one dishonest one: Mike Nifong.
Lin Wood is well known, well respected and extremely brilliant. He's definitely not an attorney I would consider a liar. Yes, they're out there. Wood's not one of them.
No matter what, people will trash Birkhead, Stern, Arthur and probably Dannielynn.
How any of them live or get money is nothing to me. Dannielynn appears healthy and happy. That's most important, imo.
It sure appears that Eroshevich and Kapoor are the ones that had the biggest contribution to ANS's death. NO MD should in good conscience prescribe tons of pills and vats of methadone to anyone let alone a woman who was inconsolable after the death of her 20 year old son. Everything else is speculative.

I do not know much about Lawyers but I do not think Linn Wood has any right to call a person and send threating letters to people to shut them up? Maybe he can do that, How woudl I know? I think this is a free country and if you put yourself on television every night and get paid for as Howard has, I think that it is fair game to question his actions. Look at Brittnay and Bush they are talk about all day long. Lin Wood really seems like a bully in my eyes, I could be wrong. I do not know him. Freedom Of Speech is something my father fought for in WW2 so I am sorry he can not take mine away. Did Linn Wood fight in a war for our freedom? I have just heard such bad things about him through the press and he gives me a dark creepy feeling like he wants to take peoples rights away! I believe that if infact Mr. Wood did write threating letters to Moe or anyone else to cover justice then maybe his liscense should be looked at? Who am I to say?

130. ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø WEEKEND at BERNIE'S ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø

Did anyone see the movie "Weekend at Bernie's"? This guy died but his buddies needed to keep him alive for a little while longer. Long enough at least to have one more giant party. So they carted him around and pretended he was alive and nobody was the wiser. They did this for days.

Brings me back to my original theory that Anna died days before it was reported. I got that crazy idea when Perper said she was decomposing a lot faster than normal. Then I heard something about ice baths and figured that maybe they were really trying to slow down the decomposition a little bit so they could stage her death in such a way as to remove suspicion from Howard. I am convinced that the death was "staged".

By saying that they were trying to lower her fever, that gave them an excuse at least to get a sufficient amount of ice to fill the bath tub even though she was already DEAD.

I think that Mo and Taz were set up, but proving it could be a problem. Howard has compromised them both. Mo and Taz are not totally blameless, but they are not murderers either.

What I would like to know is the exact time of death.

When was the last confirmed sighting of a live Anna Nicole?

On the rumor about Moe well check this out. Looks like TMZ got it wrong again...

Big Moe, a Houston rapper whose 2002 album reached No. 3 on Billboard's hip hop charts, has died.

Big Moe, whose real name was Kenneth Moore, was 33. He died Sunday afternoon at Houston's Ben Taub hospital after being hospitalized for more than a week, said Bryan McLeod, a spokesman for the county public hospital system.

McLeod did not release a cause of death, but numerous hip hop Web sites said the obese rapper suffered a heart attack.

Big Moe, who rapped and sang, was a member of the late DJ Screw's rap collective the Screwed Up Click. DJ Screw died of a heart attack in 2000 after a reported overdose of codeine-laced cough syrup.

Big Moe often rapped about the drug and the titles of his first two albums made reference to it. His first album was called "City of Syrup" and his most successful offering was 2002's "Purple World," for the color most often associated with the drug.

Big Moe's top two singles, "Barre Baby" and "Purple Stuff" were odes to the drug. He also released a third album, "Moe Life," in 2003.

"He was a great influence to the music community here in Houston," said Swishahouse Records founder Michael "5000" Watts. "He was a good person and one of the founding fathers of the music movement here."

He collaborated with various Houston rappers including Mike Jones, Z-Ro and Pimp C.

Other Screwed Up Click members who have died are Big Hawk, who was shot to death last year, and his brother Fat Pat, killed in 1998.

135. THIS IS HOWARD STERN MAKING SURE HE IS INCAPACITATED, read again, ASSUMED INCAPACITATED, so he CAN NOT TESTIFY about the drugs in Howard's name -- what condition did Howard have that he had THOSE DRUGS IN HIS NAME -- and the drugs in Howard's name given to anna. This keeps MO down, and probably the drs are paid off, too. we shouldn't be hearing much from mo now.
