COURT: Anna Nicole Smith Was Obsessed With Drugs, Says Former Bodyguard
Posted on Aug 06, 2010 @ 07:12PM
Anna Nicole Smith was injected with drugs and swigged sedatives from a bottle in the run up to her death, according to the man who tried to revive her.
Her former bodyguard, Maurice Brighthaupt, has lifted the lid on the extent of Smith's drug addiction and RadarOnline.com has the details.
Opening Statements Begin Wednesday In Anna Nicole Smith Drug Trial
"She would ask for it first. If it's not given, she would demand it - like an addict," Brighthaupt told a Los Angeles court as he gave evidence in the trial against Howard K Stern and doctors Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor.
"She was obsessed.''
The trio are accused of conspiring to prescribe and administer drugs to Smith, who died from an accidental overdose on February 8th 2007.

And Brighthaup's damning testimony only fueled the case against them.
He told jurors about an incident when he saw Stern injecting Smith with a substance believed to be Valium from a burnt spoon.
He also described watching her drink straight from a bottle of sedatives.
"She was incredibly depressed. She was in pain,'' he said, about the reality TV star.
"For the most part, she was in bed sleeping... over 12 hours on occasion."
During his time on the stand Brighthaupt described his former employer "a hurt lady" who was "depressed" after the death of her son, Daniel.
All three defendants have pleaded not guilty to the felony charges.

Drug addicts always surround themselves w/ people who will feed their addiction.. They just move on to new people if the people they are w/ stop helping...Very very sad....

For every addict there is someone that will make up excuses, cover for them, and otherwise enable them. If you're a celebrity there are twice as many people who will do it!!

What a guy! Ratting out Howard, saying it was all him, but for years Anna's bodyguard stood by her side, picked her up when she was so drugged she couldn't walk, and watched as she did drugs while she was pregnant. He needs to go down w/Howard too!

You and only help an addict when the addict is ready to help herself. BUT, those doctors abused their power by prescribing those drugs. HKS didn't have the POWER to write prescriptions.

She was an addict. We all knew that. They get extremely angry when they don't get their drugs handed over to them. Howard loved her. I would bet she gave him a terrible time if he wouldn't give her what she wanted.

What he did was still ILLEGAL. He let himself get used by this woman and found a way to worm his way permanently into her life by being the principle enabler

He should be disbarred and go to JAIL, who cares what his motivations were... she never loved him or was attracted to him. What pathetic loser. He could have had a great life.
