Maurice Brighthaupt, a Miami firefighter and paramedic who worked as a bodyguard for Anna Nicole Smith, alleges that Howard K. Stern supplied copious amounts of drugs to Anna in the months before she died of a drug overdose in 2007.

According to Brighthaupt’s testimony in the Anna Nicole drug case, Stern and Anna’s psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, feed Anna’s addictions by providing her with an endless supply of pills. He also claims Anna would take up to 20 pills at a time, including Valium.

Brighthaupt claims Anna’s drug use escalated after her son Daniel overdosed and died in September of 2006.

Stern, Dr. Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor all pled not guilty to conspiring to oversupply Anna with powerful opiates and sedatives.
