Rita: Well Amy, this morning everybody is talking about this interview that we did last night (holds up a Nassau Guardian newspaper with the headline “Stolen picts anger Stern” and a picture of of King Eric Gibson and Brigitte Neven below). This is the cover of the local newspaper here in the Bahamas and this is a clip from our interview that we did last night with the couple that was with Anna Nicole Smith and Howard Stern in Florida, right before Anna Nicole died.
About ten years ago Anna Nicole Smith came to the Bahamas because she was dating and eventually modeling for fashion mogul Peter Nygard. Then when she came back here for the birth of her daughter, she reunited with this couple, because they met her first with Peter Nygard, then they saw her again just recently. They went on boats with her, spent a lot of time with her and eventually became essentially her adopted parents, Brigitte Neven and Eric Gibson then went up to Florida last week and they were planning to go back on the yacht with Howard K. Stern and Anna Nicole Smith. But when they arrived on Thursday morning they realized that things were horribly wrong. Brigitte Neven arrived in that Florida hotel room and saw Anna Nicole napping, what she thought was napping. Then after about an hour and a half, she thought it was a long nap and eventually went to check on Anna Nicole Smith and realized something was very, very wrong at this point, this is what she saw.
Neven: When I looked at her I knew something was wrong instantly because there was no…..when people sleep the chest rises and falls and she was just lying there. And I thought, ‘that can’t be…there is something not right’. And I tried to……her jaw had dropped ….I tried to push it shut and….it, it wouldn’t. And I said, “You got to come here, something’s wrong” and she said, “what do you mean?” And I said please, and then everything, you know, just happened so quick. She tried to do CPR, she put the pillow away and started CPR and I rubbed her feet, and she tried to put some water in it but she couldn’t find a pulse and then she called Mo and he called 911.
Rita: This was the bodyguard’s wife?
Neven: Yeah, she called her husband to call 911 because we were so busy, we didn’t want to leave her there like that. We wanted to try….we still believed we could, you know, somehow, you know, talk. We, we yelled at her, we got water, we got a mirror to see if there was any breath…it was…..it was terrible.
Rita: There was no breath obviously?
Neven: No. No, like there was…..she was not cold. She was, she was warm. But she also had a big comforter over her, like her feet were warm, but it was like she was comatose, for sure.
Rita: What was she wearing?
Neven: Nothing
Rita: Nothing, she was naked, I understand.
Neven: She got, yeah. She didn’t wear any night gown or anything like that.
This comment makes no sense at all:
"Neven: Yeah, she called her husband to call 911 because we were so busy, we didn’t want to leave her there like that"
She can call her husband, but too busy to call 911...??
