Anna Nicole Smith was “obsessed” with pills, her bodyguard testified on Friday. He also said Howard K. Stern helped Smith take her drugs in the weeks before she died. Maurice Brighthaupt said he saw Stern holding Smith’s head and giving her pills when she was too weak to take them on her own. Defense attorneys attempted to weaken Brighthaupt’s credibility yesterday by questioning him about schemes to profit from his association with Smith. Brighthaupt admitted signing contracts with “Access Hollywood” to provide pictures and interviews after Smith died in 2007 from a drug overdose. He said Smith had given him a camera memory card with more than 100 photographs. Among the pictures he provided were images of the casket and hearse that carried the body of her son, Daniel, after his death. Stern and Smith’s doctors, Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor, have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to provide Smith excessive amounts of opiates and sedatives.
