“We have never asked for anything. She has never given us anything, you know? The immediate family has never been on TV and asked for anything.”
I was never an Anna Nicole fan, but I remember hearing many years ago, around the time of the start of her reality show that she used to send her family a lot of money, and because they never showed appreciation, and asked for more, she stopped sending it. I don’t have a “source” for that, however. I’m not sure if it was mentioned on her show when she had her cousin on, or if I read it.

Remember ALSO that Anna herself said that a Reality TV Show is not exactly “Reality”. They make up ‘situations’ for the reality ‘stars’ based on what gets the highest ratings. I’m sure the producers thought Anna’s ‘toothless cousin’ coming to LA unannounced was a GREAT situation for the show!!
