Preliminary Hearing: Pregnant Anna Nicole Smith Walked Out On Drug Withdrawal Treatment
As the preliminary hearing in the case against Howard K. Stern and two of Anna Nicole Smith’s former physicians continues, so does the disturbing testimony.

Yesterday, psychiatrist Dr. Nathalie Maullin testified about treating a pregnant Anna Nicole for drug withdrawal at Cedars-Sinai in 2006. According to Dr. Maullin, Anna Nicole said she was willing to “do anything” for her unborn daughter but left the short of her anticipated week-long stay.
The psychiatrist said she told Anna Nicole and Howard that if she wouldn’t comply with the hospital’s outpatient program, she needed to check into a rehab center. According to Dr. Maullin, Anna Nicole’s reply was a stony glare, and Howard questioned whether it was truly necessary.
Yes, it was necessary, Howard. Anna Nicole died 10 months later. This is damaging testimony, especially when an element of one of the crimes involved in this case is to show that Anna Nicole was a “known addict.”
If Howard didn’t know she was a known addict before she checked into a drug withdrawal program, then he certainly should have known when she left and when the doctor suggested rehab. Duh.
