Howard K Stern and the Raw Deal
Demonized by the Media
Why is anyone expected to control the behavior of another? Howard loved Anna, and he did what he could when he could, but ultimately, she is the one who took the drugs. She is the only one who could make that choice. If you have ever known an addict of any kind, you know you cannot control that person. Maybe if your loved one is a minor, then you could legally place him or her into a treatment facility against his or her will. However, Anna Nicole Smith was not a minor and she was not the ward of Howard K. Stern. She was his friend and confidante. She was not his child. Why would Howard want Anna dead?
When the media and society place the blame on Howard K. Stern, they are sending the wrong message about drug use and abuse. Where did the idea of personal responsibility go? Why is the public trying to hang this on Howard? Is it because he is the one left alive? If it had been Howard K. Stern who died instead of Anna Nicole Smith, would she be the one being attacked? Is it only because she is dead that she is being absolved of any responsibility for her own actions? Isn't that a bit unfair?
Howard is a man who seems to me to have lost everything that mattered to him. Larry Birkhead, on the other hand, is enjoying a sudden celebrity status with stalkers and paparazzi. Howard K. Stern has to suffer the death of a woman he clearly adored after suffering the death of her son with her. Howard was with Anna Nicole Smith just before her death. Larry Birkhead has not been with Anna for a long time before her death, and now is being exalted as some kind of super dad. Granted, the one thing about Birkhead that seems noble is that he was fighting to gain access to the child he believes is his daughter long before Anna Nicole Smith died, but why did she send him away?
Why would she pretend he is not the father if she knows he is? What did she know about Larry Birkhead that we do not? If she is such an angel who was victimized by Howard K. Stern, then why would she do this to Larry Birkhead and her daughter if she knew that he was at least a strong contender for the role of dad? We can't have it both ways.
If Anna Nicole Smith is the victim of Howard K. Stern, then who is Larry Birkhead the victim of? It is absurd to think that the woman who we saw on the Anna Nicole Smith Show could not or would not control her own destiny. Before passing judgment on Stern just because he was close to the fire, ask whether or not he had any way to control the fire. You can't make people do what they do not want to do, and especially not wealthy celebrities.

Post a CommentVirgie Arthur Was not a MOM ,or she would have went and stayed by Anna till she got off the drugs and prevented this no matter what she had to do,THATS WHAT MOMS DO!!!!!!!!!!All she saw was $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$signs.
I feel very sorry for Howard ,he did everything because of his love for Anna,and he deserved to keep the baby no matter whoes it was he was choosen by Anna ,and he was doing a great job God Bless this man and give him a better life to come,
By the way, you did a great job with your article, even though I disagree on a few points. :)
I hate to be blunt, but honestly, the main person I care about in this whole nightmare is the baby. I'm just glad they finally figured out who her father is and I hope everyone can work together to make things right and peaceful for the sake of Dannielynn. I feel like if those adults put themselves in a situation where they were involved with someone who was notorious for bad publicity, they should have known something would happen. I do care about them as people and I feel bad that she died. I just also realize that they, as adults, need to realize they are in a situation because they made a choice to be involved in the public when they got involved with Anna.
I think her mother has gotten a raw deal. HKS is a jerk. I think he knew he wasn't the father and put everyone through this out of his own selfishness. But what has the mom ever done to anyone? Everyone hates her, but why?
Howard turns me round baby right round baby!
BRAVO!! Howard Loved her - period. I feel for him. Finally, a point of view that makes sense. He loses his love, a boy who was like a son to him & a daughter he was just getting to know...having to be a "rock" in anna's life...there was only Daniel & then him...the last part of anna he had taken away...devestating. The fact that he's still walking around 1/2 coherent proves just how incredibley strong he is. My heart goes out to him.
hhhmmm - this is a touchy one. You present your opinion really good, as always. I'm not sure I feel sorry for anyone in this circus - except for the baby child. But, I do admit it must be hard to loose someone you love.
It is always nice to hear a different perspective. I think, ultimately, all anyone cares about is the health and safety of the poor little baby girl.
I really don't think Howard K. Stern has gotten a bad rep from the media. Almost all of the prescriptions Anna took were prescribed to him, but like you said she took them, or did she? Anyways, this whole thing has been blown up and we probably will never know the full truth about the role he played or didn't play in her death. I am just glad Dannielynn gets to know her real father.
