In an interview with Greta Van Susteren, Ford Shelley said this:
VAN SUSTEREN: Did she ever say to you who the father of that child was?
F. SHELLY: She did. She told us who the father of the child was. She thought it was either Ben or Larry. And in several e-mails that she sent us she made that reference. You know, we told her early on that Ben had had a vasectomy, but when she was adamant about saying, no, I made sure it was Ben's baby, it was Ben's baby, we didn't argue with Anna. You know, we didn't. At the time, whenever it would happen, when the baby was born, we would cross that bridge when we came to it. When Anna said "no, I made sure it was Ben's baby."
Vasectomies do fail. Ben has reasons for not wanting another child. If LB isn't the father, Stern gets to keep the baby. He hasn't taken a DNA test to prove he isn't the father.
If Anna was low on funds, and we know Ben is rich, wealthy, or however you want to describe him. Larry is not rich. He probably makes a decent living, but not what Anna was accustomed to.
So several thoughts here...
-Anna wants Ben to be the father so she will get big$$$ for child support.
-Howard tells Anna to say it is Ben to get big $$$ for child support
-Howard writes emails to Ben claiming to be Anna wanting child support.
Now if Larry were rich, he would be the target of Howard's child support requests.
Did I make sense? LOL
