I believe that ANY LEGAL ACTION that Howard took under the guise of "I am the father" and/or husband between the time of DANIEL'S DEATH until the time that Larry via DNA was declared the father
was both fraudulent and unethical
BECAUSE BOTH HOWARD AND ANNA KNEW ABSOLUTELY THAT HOWARD WAS NOT THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER.
Remember, Howard said that "according to his calendar", he was the father...and that means "biological father"...even going so far as pinpointing Larry's encounters. (Remember, Howard NEVER pinpoints his own encounter)
Howard AND ANNA knew that Howard's claim as the biological father was an absolute lie all along and the proof was in the DNA. And then there's approaching whoever it was who had a vasectomy to be the father. Some guys would have jumped at it. He wasn't that stupid. The Horizons could be easily construed as a "gift" if he did. (Clever try Howard).
Upon DANIEL'S death, Howard's legal relation to estate monies ended "in total". Daniel's guardianship and the distribution of the money to him was Howard's charge under the will "and no more" and Daniel was dead.
The phoney wedding and phoney birth certificate were Howard's way of re-establishing a legal connection to Anna and Dannielynn.
I also believe the call of "Larry was a sperm donor" is likely valid....BECAUSE Howard mentions "a calendar". (Every man does that, right?)
Kinda like Howard saying that "Danny said that he couldn't believe he had a blood relative". (Every 20 year old says that, right)...and Billy and Virgie are blood...
I'd say Milstein was "requested" by Howard....and paid by Howard and Milstein is trying to double dip at this time.
I guess I'm trying to put some logic to Howard's footsteps. The big lie that sets the whole thing in motion is "I am the father".
Why didn't Howard and Anna REALLY get married....BEFORE Dannielynn was born instead of 2 weeks after Danny died?
WE know absolutely that Anna and Howard are/were liars....and not just liars...but liars with the intention to harm....hence...the "I hate Mommy" tape. The Kapoor photo. The Gibson photo.
Your opinions are well founded. I agree completely.
HOward was single-minded in his plan to control Anna’s life and loot, but he always had to improvise - because Anna was so mercurial. HOward knew that drugs and isolation were his most effective tools.
When Anna had motherhood fantasies HOward recognized a *blood relative* opportunity, but he had to convince her that the *baby daddies* were *threatening stalkers* in order to eliminate them.
The blueprint is so obvious. Dannielynn’s birth, Daniel’s death, the phony marriage. As you point out - HOward had no legal tentacles to Anna’s body, Dannielyn’s custody or estate supervision.
Virgie held all the legal cards - and Seidlin destroyed her.
of course it was fraudulent, unethical and illegal. knowing what we know now, is it any surprise?
But you have to wrap around the idea, maybe the reality, that at the point of the clown videos, HKS was no longer working for ANS - he was working for LB...because imo that, is the only, reality I see in this entire mess. imo imo
they didn’t get married before the birth, because Anna had absolutely no intention of keeping HKS around - imo - what she wanted was HKS the hell out of her life after years of screwing it up. imo, what HKS wanted in revenge, was to tear that child out of her womb - and, in fact, watched as it was! This was not a man wanting to marry a pregnant woman! This was not a man ‘in love’ with a pregnant woman. This was not a man who ever showed any concern at all in the delivery room over the degree of consciousness or pain his supposed ‘love’ was experiencing! this was a man focused on ‘money’ and ONLY money. This was a man with someone else as his (silent) client.
that Anna was blackmailed is obvious to me. the ‘ceremony’ wasn’t to create bad press for HKS you see - it was deliberate to create bad press for Anna - what an aweful mother out partying and jumping in the ocean while her son is rotting in a morgue. I’d guess the timing was exactly one month after the clown video, to the day. I’d guess there was a specific pattern of Anna ‘exposure’ from that point on. (but that’s a different rant! LOL) Howie the victim was ‘talked into it’ at the time - he’d kept it all ‘secret’ and only because ANNA wanted it public, did he say anything - bosh!!! Between the lines, HKS freely admits to anyone who was listening, that he was willing, and able, to ‘keep secrets’ for extended (multi-year) periods of time. It’s obvious that Anna was determined to maintain her friendship with the Shelleys/GBen, in spite of the on-the-way-out-the-door-hanger-on HKS wanting differently.
Anna was finally going in a different direction, on-her-own-for-once, grown-up Anna who had finally met, not druggie hangers-ons, but legitimate, real, people who could give her a healthier view of the world. All those Anna-fed-drugs tapes/events, were used as weapon against Anna imo - do this, say this, act like this, or I will whip such and such out to E! PrimeTime, and you’ll lose your baby and most likely your freedom....Say this on tv or I will turn over the tape(s) before we leave the studio. Act this way or I’ll tell the Gibsons’ you’re a drug addict and to keep the baby. Unfortunately for Anna, her new network wasn’t strong enough to overcome the hangers-ons from feeling they were ‘entitled’ to continue the control, from Studio City partyhouse to Bahamas partyhouse.
by HKS’s own admission, it was his second time to the Bahamas when he came to live there ‘permanently’ that we can reasonably calculate the date the clown video was made - this video was made imo as a punishment to both the shelleys/GBen and Anna - after being shunned for over 3 months, looked down upon by the Shelleys/GBen and others, and quickly run off after the first ‘sign the documents’ visit where no documents were apparently signed (Anna didn’t have the house yet - it ws still being ‘refurbished’) the clown video was the return volley. If ANS had then delivered prematurely, I doubt HKS would have batted an eyelash in concern.
I don’t give one hoot in Alabama if Anna was a crack-head, two-dollar hooker on the south side of Guadalahara - the woman was exploited, systematically robbed, and systematically fed drugs in order to exploit and rob her. HKS had a private agenda. And so did LB imo. I can’t count Anna’s public or a lot of private behavior against her, knowing it was ‘controlled’ for almost a decade. “She’s so outrageous” had to be maintained, after all. It was everyone’s meal ticket. But I have to give a lot of weight to some of the things she’s said in more lucid moments, before a son, and then a baby, was being held hostage behind the stage curtains. My gut says, for money, she was most likely murdered in cold blood right along with her son and in light of that, her past matters not one iota. jmo
