Anna Nicole's Mom Sues Stern

Submit a Tip!

OCTOBER 11--The mother of Anna Nicole Smith claims that her daughter defamed her in a television interview that was orchestrated by the late model's lawyer/companion Howard K. Stern. According to a lawsuit filed by Virgie Arthur, Smith libeled her in an Entertainment Tonight interview during which she claimed that her mother was complicit in physical and sexual abuse when she was a child. In the complaint, Arthur contends that Stern conspired with Smith to make defamatory comments about her. The lawsuit, a copy of which you'll find below, was filed Tuesday in Harris County District Court in Texas. Arthur alleges that Stern 'influenced and controlled' Smith by providing her with prescription drugs, some of which were 'obtained illegally' in Stern's name. Arthur's complaint also describes Stern as a 'manipulative, deceitful, and dangerous person' and 'not the type of man who was likely to have been selected by her daughter as a sexual partner.' Arthur also noted that she knew that Stern's claim to be the father of Smith's daughter Dannielynn was 'highly unlikely because of the type of person Stern is.' In addition to Stern, Arthur is suing CBS Studios, which produces Entertainment Tonight, and a Houston TV affiliate which aired the allegedly defamatory comments last November. Arthur's lawsuit does not specify monetary damages. (10 pages)
