Howard K. Stern's Reputation In Crisis – Svengali, Love or Money Re: Anna Nicole Smith?

“Anna was my life. She was my whole life. I loved her.” Cried Howard K. Stern after Anna Nicole Smith’s death.

According to several news agencies, Roger Gomez, the Bahamas’ chief magistrate, stated that island authorities now have a heightened interest in questioning Howard K. Stern regarding the death of Anna Nicole Smith’s son Daniel in September. The inquest in the Bahamas into the death of Daniel Smith has been set for March 26 2007, with Gomez assuming around 30 witnesses will appear in court.

New evidence and facts regarding Smith’s sudden death and that of her son are continually arising and raise further suspicions and questions, especially regarding Howard K. Stern. Gomez said that both Smith and Stern were in the hospital room when Daniel Smith died.

“Anna Nicole, the mother of Daniel, is dead, and Howard is the only one who was alive who was in the room,” Gomez said. “And it really arouses our suspicions to exactly what happened in the room.”

Gomez also found it “unusual for someone to die suddenly” despite the fact that a combination of methadone and antidepressants Lexapro and Zoloft were found in Daniel’s blood. Photographs published this week of Smith’s fridge in the Bahamas showed a stock of methadone.

“If that is verified by evidence at the inquest, it will certainly increase our interest, because methadone is allegedly one of the drugs he may have died from,” Gomez said.

Photographs of Smith in the arms of a Bahamas Immigration official have also been circulating, yet he said Smith was a friend of his wife and family, and that the “innocent photographs” were taken by Stern. He has refused to resign as he believes he did not act inappropriately.

It is still unknown what killed the former playmate as investigators await the results of the blood and spinal fluid that was taken from her shortly after her death.

Perper, the medical examiner said that “rumors are flying like balloons, but many balloons are pierced by reality.”

He added that the autopsy found no needle marks, no pill residues in her stomach or any indication she had been drinking alcohol. There was also no evidence of recent plastic surgery.

Until it is determined concretely what exactly happened to both Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel, rumors and theories will continue to surface.

A few comments from the Reputation Doctor regarding Howard K. Stern’s reputation in crisis.

One fact is not in doubt: Howard K. Stern’s reputation is in crisis.

Within the next 90 days, the world will learn the truth regarding whether Howard K. Smith is Dannielynn’s biological father, whether he has the right to Anna Nicole Smith’s body for burial and maybe whether he was involved with the death of both Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel. As I always say, there is a huge difference between the court of law and the court of public opinion. The court of public opinion rules every minute of every day and the court of law rules only at the end of trial. Howard K. Stern’s reputation is in crisis and it resides in a court just as important as the court of law.

If it can be proven that Howard K. Stern gave Anna Nicole’s son Daniel methadone, Stern will see prison time.

FACT: Howard K. Stern certainly did not help Anna Nicole Smith or her son to stop taking drugs. FACT: He also was nearby when both were found dead. At best, he was not a good friend by allowing his friend Anna and her son Daniel to continue with their drug use and at worst, he was enabling their drug use for personal gain. Many times people believe they are smarter than the law and lead with their egos and try to cover up the truth. How many times do we have to learn the truth always bubbles to the top, especially with the media microscope looking down on your every move – past, present and future?

Howard, the truth will set you free!

I believe Howard K. Stern is at risk for potential suicide. He needs to have his family and friends close by and watching him now more than ever. He knows the truth and it is my personally opinion that he has not been fully truthful in the many areas he has been questioned regarding his relationship with Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel. However, he still has an opportunity to set the record straight and do the right thing. I believe his house of cards is about to take a big fall and I think it is tearing him apart. I think he is scared to death to tell the truth, but it is the truth that will truly set him free and begin to repair his reputation for the long term. If not, the lies will eat him alive and keep his reputation in crisis. The vacuum of rumors can be replaced by truth and Howard K. Stern must take the lead. Hang on, this story has legs and will be in the news through spring.

Remember, do the right thing when your reputation is in crisis and seek the counsel of an experienced reputation management expert. It will be a major challenge, but ultimately the rewards of repairing your reputation will be great. Why? Because Your Reputation Is Everything!™
