Anna Nicole's Drug Enablers FINALLY In Hot Water? - Page 2
The media and the public alike, also made Anna's fluctuating weight the subject of many cruel jokes. Of course any one knows that being in Hollywood's limelight opens a person up to a lot criticism, it goes with the territory, but that doesn't make it any less painful.
Anna's reality show and then her stint as a spokesperson for Trim Spa and her slurry, incoherent presentation at the 2004 MTV Music Awards (click to watch the vid) made matters even worse. The newscaster at the end of the video, couldn't have said it any better when she said:
"Anna needs some friends"
Exactly. She needed some REAL friends. NOT enablers. As for her "boyfriend" Howard K. Stern, I for one, never trusted Howard from the beginning. I put the word boyfriend in quotes, because I think Anna was in such a foggy cloud all the time, I don't even think she knew that Howard was her boyfriend, but rather he self-appointed himself as such. Even more perverse, he later became her husband, clearly taking advantage of her clueless mental state. Weddings are supposed to be joyful, but their Bahama wedding was SAD. It was pretty clear to any observer, Anna barely realized what was going on (FYI: the marriage wasn't legal in the US).
Going back to when Anna had her reality show, I could never understand why Howard sat idly by and even starred in her reality show along side of her, allowing her to be exploited while she was in obvious states of intoxication. I blame both Stern and the network for this blatant exploitation of her addiction, when they knew full well Anna was in a dangerous spiral. All anyone seemed to care about was keeping the train wreck going because the ratings were high for the show.
I actually wrote letters to the network pleading with them to please open their eyes and cancel the show, not only for Anna's sake, but for her son Daniel's sake. I cringed at her behavior and the way Danial looked so embarrassed and uncomfortable on that show. I always thought that the poor kid was going to grow up so tortured and teased about his Mom's shenanigans and obvious drug abuse. But ultimately, Daniel didn't have the chance to grow up, dying barely past the age of 20. In a sick twist of fate, Daniel met the same demise as his Mom with a drug overdose.
