Todd Bernstein was Anna Nicole Smith's limo driver and bodyguard.
In an exclusive interview Todd Bernstein, the former personal limo driver and bodyguard of Anna Nicole Smith, spoke out for the first time to INSIDE EDITION about his departed bombshell boss.
Bernstein, who worked for Anna Nicole for seven years, says he was present at the now infamous 2004 American Music Awards where Anna Nicole appeared on stage, apparently intoxicated.
"We were backstage and I told Howard something is going to happen here. She is going to go off and do something, and he just looked at me and looked at her and said 'just be cool,'" Bernstein said
Bernstein, who custom built a limo for Smith's reality show, says the former playmate's favorite seat in the limo was the one closest to the champagne glasses.
"Anna loved champagne,"" he said. "Good champagneCristal, Dom, it was always on hand."
He also said he has seen Anna Nicole go through half a hottle of vodka in an hour.
"Towards the end of the evenings... Anna would literally pass out in the back of the limousine and I would have to carry her upstairs," he said.
Bernstein also told INSIDE EDITION Anna engaged in several romantic relationships, including one with Larry Birkhead. "It was romantic absolutely, but there was this triangle of relationship where Howard was always peering in trying to protect her," he said.
Bernstein said he has received an invitation from Howard K. Stern to attend Anna Nicole Smith's funeral in the Bahamas and will be attending as he greatly misses what he considered his larger than life friend. "It was a partyeverything with her was a constant party."
