Film Shows True Face

Friends of Anna, the Shellys, (own the house Anna was staying in, reportedly) were interviewed on Fox Monday On the Record program. A lengthy videotape was shown, which the couple said was made by Howard K. Stern and when Anna was in her last month of pregnancy.

I happened to catch the program, can't find the video online, yet.

Today during court proceedings before Judge Larry Seidlin, Harold K. Stern testified. At one point, Stern relayed there had been a breakin at the Bahama house, and items had been stolen. He said documents, a diary, paintings, computer hard drive, and videotapes were taken.

Stern made reference to the film shown on the Fox program, but it appeared that passed right by Judge Larry Seidlin.

The Judge should get a copy of the videotape.

The film shows Anna's face being painted up colorfully to look like a clown, and then, Anna is indoors, pushing a baby carriage. It's explained by the couple being interviewed by Greta, the Shellys, that their daughter Reilly was painting Anna's face, and Howard K. STern is filming.

Howard kept filming even though the child in their care for the day became scared about how Anna Nicole was acting. Greta asks the Shellys What does this tape show?

G. SHELLY: It shows them having a party and Reilly painted her face like a clown and they had face painting and they started playing baby dolls. And then Anna's believing that this baby is her baby. And Reilly's trying to say, "This is not your baby, Anna. Your baby's still in your tummy." And Anna is convinced that that baby is her baby.

At one point in the tape, as more make-up goes on her face, Howard can be heard saying this should bring in a lot of money. But the most telling point in the tape is when Howard can be heard snickering at Anna and asks her are you on mushrooms?
Anna doesn't have a clue. Stern continues filming Anna - her face distorted with paint - pushing the stroller - all the while ignoring the child, Reilly, and makes a comment about Anna on "mushrooms" - again, while a child is on the premises.

Are these actions of a responsible father-to-be?

Anna Nicole's Friends Comment On Disturbing Tape
Tuesday, February 20, 2007

This is a partial transcript from "On the Record," February 19, 2007, that has been edited for clarity.

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, HOST: Ford and Gina Shelly were very close to Anna Nicole. We spoke with the Shelly's a short time ago.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

VAN SUSTEREN: Had you ever come to learn that maybe the day was not a particularly normal one?

FORD SHELLY, FRIEND OF ANNA NICOLE SMITH: We've later found out and we didn't know it, that Anna wasn't up (INAUDIBLE) herself that day. Anna was — Anna had — must have taken something to calm her down, but Anna wasn't herself that day.

VAN SUSTEREN: That day was taped, do we have some clips of it? Who taped it?

F. SHELLY: Howard.

VAN SUSTEREN: What do those tapes tell you? I mean, what do you notice about — I mean, you know Anna Nicole, I mean, what do those tapes tell you? What was going on?

F. SHELLY: Well, it was almost like Howard was taping these so he could sell them, because he — on the tape, he made reference to — it was going to be worth some money. You know, the tapes show a time when my little girl was scared and she asked to call me and he didn't let her.

And Anna wasn't herself. Anna was acting like a child. She thought she'd already had the baby and my little girl was scared and Howard had to calm her down. And tell her, say, "Anna, you're scaring Reilly. You're scaring her. You're scaring her."

And she didn't understand. Anna didn't mean it. But, Howard is a grown man, and he's sitting there videotaping this and watching Anna. She needed help. She didn't need that.

VAN SUSTEREN: And your little girl said, "Howard."

GINA SHELLY, FRIEND OF ANNA NICOLE SMITH: "Please call the doctor, Howard. Let's call the doctor, Howard, please. Something's wrong with ‘Bunny.'" She called her "Bunny." And Howard's like — Reilly's like, "I'm going to call my dad." And Howard's like, "That phone doesn't work, honey, the one in the kitchen does." And when Reilly ran out to call, Howard tells Anna, "You're scaring Reilly. You're scaring Reilly, Anna. You really need to straighten up. You're scaring her." You know, so.

VAN SUSTEREN: But, what does the tape show? What does the tape show?

G. SHELLY: It shows them having a party and Reilly painted her face like a clown and they had face painting and they started playing baby dolls. And then Anna's believing that this baby is her baby. And Reilly's trying to say, "This is not your baby, Anna. Your baby's still in your tummy." And Anna is convinced that that baby is her baby.

VAN SUSTEREN: The doll?

G. SHELLY: The doll baby. And then Reilly keeps going up to Howard saying, you know, "Howard, tell her it's got a battery. Let's go get a screwdriver and take it out and show Anna this is not a real baby." So, I mean, this went on for probably about an hour. Until...

F. SHELLY: Well, that's all we know.

G. SHELLY: That's all we know. Until finally Howard convinced Anna, you know, you're freaking Reilly out, you need to stop this....
