If you though that Anna Nicole Smith could rest in peace, then you would be a fool as someone like that was always going to bring a lot of media long after her tragic death. Smith’s mother has decided that she wants to sue a bunch of people, these include Howard K. Stern who was Anna Nicole’s companion and lawyer, the mother is also suing celebrity Website TMZ.com, Nicole’s mother claims that she was defamed. Virgie Arthur stated in the lawsuit that Stern along with TMZ and other celebrity websites that they had spread a false story that her daughter was in fact the mother of her stepbrother’s child, she said this was done to ruin her career.
The lawsuit said “Their goal was simple and straightforward — to ‘destroy’ anyone that was opposed to Howard K. Stern or his interest.” The offending article that Anna Nicole Smith’s mother is referring to was “Virgie Has Son with Step-Brother.” Managing editor of TMZ Harvey Levin has also been named in the lawsuit; neither party has any comment at this time over these allegations.
It seems that since the death of Anna Nicole Smith, she has been surrounded in controversy; the first was her death itself which was of an accidental prescription drug overdose. The second was the ongoing battle in court over the legal battle of her daughter. Then there is still the ongoing battle of the will of oil tycoon Howard Marshall, who Anna married at age 26. Marshell died 14 months later and his fortune of $1.6 billion dollars is still being contested.
