They were helping her drug use and knew about it. Suspiciously, a lot of things are going missing on the internet that point to this. Hope you don't mind me posting this under your comments, but I don't know where else to put them.
Regarding the statements that Larry Birkhead was never involved with Anna Nicole, I found this OLD article of interest and thought I might share.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8587283
This article is dated July 19, 2005 and describes an incident that occurred at the Freaky Tiki, a rather interesting looking bar in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Yes, the same state that the Fords have a home. It is also rumored that Larry Birkhead introduced Anna Nicole to G. Ben Thompson in Myrtle Beach as he was friends with the family first.
What I found after I read this article and did a search for Anna Nicole and Freaky Tiki was this:

Apparently these are some clips from a forum that was closed down on www.annanicolesmith.com after people who were at the bar, posted about how Anna Nicole behaved on the night at the Freaky Tiki.
I'll quote from the above URL in case it somehow disappears as everything else seems to also be disappearing quite rapidly:

The former reality-TV star stunned crowds with her outrageous behavior in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina recently. “She entered a wet T-shirt contest at a club called Freaky Tiki and exposed herself and got into a loud fight with some guy everyone says is her boyfriend,” a source tells The Scoop.
Fans were buzzing about Anna’s antics on her Web site. “I just want to tell all y'all out there in Anna land that all this stuff is true because I saw . . . it with my own 2 eyes!!!!!!!!” one person posted. “She is there with her boyfriend and his friends and family. She was wandering aimlessly around [a] house looking for [pills]. Her boyfriend kept telling her to quit.”

“What surprised me is she was slamming shots after she took [some “nerve pills,”] according to another poster. “Then she continued drinking and by night’s end the boyfriend, (he said his name was Larry) tried to calm her down she smacked him in the face and was kissing on girls and dry humping some old man on his lap who she left with but not without help from her attorney Howard [K. Stern] who had to hold her up and went wagging behind her like a puppy dog, with in fact Anna's puppy dog in his arms.”
The alleged boyfriend was apparently Larry Birkhead, who was wearing a T-shirt that declared: “I love my girlfriend.”
Smith, in October, told The Louisville Courier Journal “Larry keeps me occupied so I don't have to worry about being lonely anymore.”
The postings about Smith’s shenanigans were all removed from her Web site and the forum was closed, but a few photo highlights of the weekend still exist on the Web.
“The reason we took down the postings was that we don’t want Anna defamed on her own Web site,” Stern told The Scoop. He says that she did enter the wet T-shirt contest, but did not expose herself — she was wearing pasties. He also denies that Smith took or asked for any pills or that she has a boyfriend. “The only thing that was true is that I went there to save her because she didn’t feel safe," he said. "She met some good people in South Carolina and some bad people and I question their motives. I’m glad we got her out of there on time
Both the article and responses to the article and incident are clearly from 2005, well before Daniel or Anna died. So even back then, Howard K. Stern denies Larry Birkhead was in a relationship with Anna Nicole Smith, denies her doing any drugs and from what I gather from the Scoop's interview with Howard, he more or less places the focus on "some bad people" she met in South Carolina. Clealry, Howard did not approve of some of them.
Regardless, if Howard only came to rescue her after said events, how does he know the counts made by others are false? Makes no sense. Stern wasn't there at least some of the night (I'm being generous) by his own admission.
Photos from that night can be found at the above URL and at http://www.freakytiki.com/
I did happen to find a cached copy of a statement made on the annanicolesmith.com site with regard to Daniel Wayne Smith. It's here: http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:mXtHgnfV34gJ:celebgossip.buzznet.com/user/journal/52730/+annanicolesmith.com&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=11&gl=us
Some people had complained that while they were paid members of the site, they could not access it. Apparently it was explained that it was due to a mourning period for Daniel Wayne Smith who had passed away. The cached statement of that page at the time, said this:
In Loving Memory
DANIEL WAYNE SMITH
1/22/1986 - 9/10/2006
On September 7th Anna Nicole gave birth to a healthy 6 pound, 9 ounce baby girl. Her son Daniel was in the Bahamas with her to share in the joy of his baby sister when he passed away suddenly on the morning of September 10th. We have yet to learn the cause of death but do not believe that drugs or alcohol were a factor.
Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being. Please do not make any press inquiries at this time so that Anna Nicole can grieve in peace.
Why assume that fans would assume he died of acohol or drug related factors? Things that just make me go, DOH!
In other odd news, I found this interesting URL: http://www.adrforum.com/domains/decisions/220007.htm , which shows how they even sued one of their FANS of 10 years, from using the original domain www.annanicolesmith.com because they claimed it was being used for commercial gain, of which there is no evidence whatsoever other than the stated accusation. After a hearing, it was determined the original site owner did not act improperly. How the site was eventually turned over to Stern, I have no clue but it was.
That's all for now.
Wow - is this your first post? Thanks.
Thanks Bronwynn,welcome :)
wow....that's the bar where she is passed out on the floor.
Thanks for all the info!
I didn't see any pics of Anna at the Freaky Tiki site....was G. Ben Thompson in any of them?
Great first post! Welcome...
Great post!!!
Wow..it shows how badly she treated Larry and that he really didn't approve or facillitate her drug use. I wonder if they old man she was humping was G. Ben.
Is this the Alex Katz? After following links from this article to party pics from 2005 and doing a google search for Alex Katz (the painter) I came across these 2 pics. Are they the same person?

What do you think? It might be him! I was also doing some google searches earlier and found a Jewish Museum that had some of his paintings that some Sterns donated to. I was wondering if that was Howards parents or relatives but didn't get far because I dont know their names.
Well, that's all I have...what do any of you think?
Great Links!!!!
Freaky Tiki makes me glad I don't go out partying anymore.
